Today, the Indian Under-19 team will take the field to avenge the defeat in the ODI World Cup 2023 final. Like the 2023 World Cup, the final match of the 2024 U19 World Cup is scheduled to be played between India and Australia. This title match will take place at Willowmoor Park in Benoni. The match will begin at 1:30 pm India time.
The Indian team is considered a strong contender for the 2024 U19 World Cup title. Team India has won the U19 World Cup five times so far. The Blue Brigade defeated Australia twice in the final. Speaking of Australia, the Kangaroo team has won the U19 World Cup three times. In this article we will tell you about the five players who can defeat Australia in the final.
Musheer Khan, the pillar of Indian batting, can do wonders with both the bat and the ball. Musheer is the second highest run-scorer in the tournament. Musheer has scored 338 runs in 6 matches at an average of 67.60 and a strike rate of over 100. If time permits, he can bowl and take wickets too.
Indian team captain Uday Saharan needs to deliver an outstanding performance with the bat in the last game. Uday is the top run-scorer in the tournament. He has scored 389 runs in 6 games, an average of around 65.
If the bat of Sachin Dhas, who was the hero of India’s win in the semi-final, fails in the final too, the Kangaroos will be in trouble. Sachin has so far scored 294 runs in 6 games in the tournament at an average of 73.50. He is the third highest run scorer in the tournament.
After three star batsmen, Soumya Pandey can bowl the Kangaroos. This spinner of the Indian team is also called the next Ravindra Jadeja of India. Soumya Pandey took 17 wickets in 6 matches.
Left-arm fast bowler Naman Tiwari can also become the hero of India’s victory in the final. Naman has picked up 10 wickets in five matches in the tournament. In such a situation it could also be difficult for the Naman Kangaroos in the final.
