Australia bag U19 Cricket World Cup title with a dominant win against India
In an action-packed final of the Under-19 Cricket World Cup, Australia emerged victorious by defeating India by 79 runs in a nerve-wrecking contest on Sunday at Willowmoore Park in Beloni .
The Australian U19 team showcased exceptional talent and determination to secure the coveted title, marking their first victory over India in the final. This was Australia’s fourth U19 World Cup title victory as well.

Earlier, Harry Dixon gave the team a solid start with his much needed (42) runs.

For India, the top-scorer remained Adarsh Singh and Murugan Abhishek scoring (47) and (42) respectively.
