India was unable to actually make any big partnerships throughout the whole link. And just to be clear, we are talking about the under-19 cricket. I expected a better performance from India in this match. Australia was able to win the Under 19 World Cup final without much trouble in the end. It feels like the senior team's World Cup final once again. India had all the chances and everyone was also rooting for India. But in the end, it was Australia who were able to win the cup.
Losing in such a big tournament has been the fate of the Indian team.We saw India and Australia face each other in the 2023 World Cup and in the same U19 World Cup India U19 team and Australia U19 team met.But one thing is right in U19 World Cup Australia U19 team became champion while in 2023 ODI World Cup Australia beat India and became champions.India has repeatedly lost to Australia in the finals of major tournaments.
We did not expect such a performance from the India U19 team in the final match, as they had shown a good performance throughout the tournament.India U19 team could have performed better than expected but they may have been nervous for which they could not do that.Australia U19 won the match very easily as India U19 scored less runs in the match and won the 2024 U19 World Cup.
