IND vs AUS U19 WC Final Playing 11 Prediction: The current Saharan-led team was not looking so great initially as it had failed to make it to the final of the Under-19 Asia Cup a few months ago, but here the team is in form. I have come in.
India’s young cricketers will leave no stone unturned to win a record sixth ICC Under-19 ODI World Cup title by winning the final against Australia on Sunday. After this, the career of some will get wings to take off while some will go into oblivion.
Indian team is invincible in the tournament
The current Saharan-led team did not look so promising initially as they failed to make the final of the Under-19 Asia Cup a few months ago, but the team has come into form here. The performance of the Saharan team, which scored 389 runs in this tournament, got better in each match and won by a huge margin. It was only the semi-final in which it defeated host South Africa by just one wicket. The Indian team has not lost a single match in this tournament yet.
Expecting a good innings from Sarfaraz’s brother Musheer
Sarfaraz Khan’s younger brother Mushir Khan, who is in the Test squad against England, is the second highest run-scorer after captain Uday and is also a useful left-arm spinner. A big innings will be expected from him in the final also. Right-arm fast bowler Raj Limbani and left-arm fast bowler Naman Tiwary have been effective, but are not ready for the next level. But his best performance on Sunday will be good enough for this level.
Musheer Khan shortlisted by the ICC for the U19 Cricket World Cup 2024 Player of the Tournament.
India had lost in the finals of 2016 and 2020:
India’s Under-19 team had defeated Australia in the 2012 and 2018 finals and will be a strong contender in the title match of this phase as well. The Indian team has always been a ‘powerhouse’ in age group tournaments and reaching the final for the ninth time in this tournament is proof of this. The India Under-19 team has played all the finals since 2016, winning the titles in the 2018 and 2022 editions while losing in 2016 and 2020.
It would be wrong to underestimate Australia
Be it senior team or junior, it would be wrong to underestimate Australia. On November 19 last year, the Australian senior team had broken Indian hearts by defeating the Rohit Sharma-led senior team in the final of the ODI World Cup. Now it would be nice for the Indian team led by captain Uday Saharan to win the title by defeating the Australian team.
Australia made it to the final by defeating Pakistan in a close match in the semi-finals. Australia captain Hugh Weggen, opening batsman Harry Dixon, fast bowler Tom Straker and Callum Vidler have performed consistently well during this phase and could prove to be a problem for India.
India will have to avoid these mistakes to win the final: IND vs AUS U19 WC Final
- Poor fielding: If Uday’s team wants to win the title trophy, it will have to do good fielding. Bad fielding can make you lose even a won match.
- Slow batting: Rohit’s team batted slowly against Australia in the final of the ODI World Cup last year. In such a situation the team could not score big. The junior team will also have to avoid slow batting.
- Don’t give a chance: Australia should not be given a chance to make a comeback in any department like batting, bowling or fielding. If Australia is given a chance to make a comeback, it will not allow India to take the trophy.
