ICC 2018 Under-19 World Cup final, India vs Australia: Live streaming, match-timings
Mount Maunganui: Indian U-19 team will be eager to lift the coveted ICC U-19 World Cup trophy for the fourth time, when they face Australia in the final on Saturday.
India have lifted the Under-19 World Cup trophy thrice and Prithvi Shaw will join the likes of Mohammad Kaif (2000), Virat Kohli (2008) and Unmukt Chand (2012) to become fourth Indian captain to lift the U-19 World Cup title if India beat Australia in the final.
The Indian side has put in some impressive performance to win all their five matches – one of which also includes an emphatic 203-run win against arch-rivals Pakistan in the semifinal.
Australia, on the other hand, have not had a smooth sailing all the way. They lost their tournament opener against India by 100 runs, before winning four games in a row to make it to the final.
However, Jason Sangha-led Australian side’s last two performances signal that they have upped their game when it mattered. Their 31-run victory over England in the quarterfinal, while defending 127-run total, and a six-wicket win over Afghanistan, who surprised everyone with their semifinal appearance, clearly indicate that they are here for a fight.
