Kwena Maphaka | Player of the Tournament: Means a lot to me. I will remember about this for the rest of the tournament. I worked on my inswing a lot, that's what helped me in this tournament. Super eager for the future, will be amazing if I can make it happen (play for South Africa). Lot of hard work to do.
Mahli Beardman | Player of the Match: Pretty surreal, hasn't sunk it yet. It is something that we have been working for a long time, happy it paid off. (On Indian team) They have been incredible, we knew it would be a good battle. I backed my short balls and tried to smash it into the wicket. (On Dennis Lillee's coaching) Through him, I've learnt a lot of mental stuff. Thinking about my bowling, thinking about field settings. He's been incredible, always a pleasure to bowl alongside him. Future goals will be probably the Big Bash, and go back home and try to play some cricket for my state

IND vs AUS U19 WC Final: Uday Saharan is proud of the team
Uday Saharan | Indian Captain: I'm proud of the boys, they played really well. Showed good fighting spirit throughout the tournament. We played a few rash shots today, didn't spend time in the middle. We were prepared but couldn't execute the plans. Lots of learnings from this tournament, learnt a lot from the support staff and even during the games. We will try to keep learning and getting better.

India vs Australia U19 LIVE: Hard luck, India
Not the best show in the final of the World Cup despite a good run throughout the tournament where they did not lose anything. Just like the senior team which won 10 in a row before losing the final to Australia in the last year's final. Australia have won their fourth ICC title in last one year, starting from ICC Women's T20 WC 2023 to WTC final to World Cup win in India and now the U19 World Cup. Kudos to them and commiserations to India. But the boys had a terrific tournament and they must be proud of it.
Musheer Khan, Uday Saharan, Adarsh Singh, Saumy Pandey, Naman Tiwari, Raj Limbani and many others are future stars of Indian cricket. Hopefully, they go on to have a great future for Team India.

IND vs AUS U19 WC Final LIVE: India's Slow Start In Powerplay
An eventful over unfolded with a no-ball, a narrowly missed run-out opportunity, and commendable fielding by the Australian captain—an animated moment in the match. However, India is currently facing challenges in scoring runs, standing at 28/1 after 10 overs. The encouraging aspect is that in a previous match against South Africa, they were 26/3 at the end of the powerplay but successfully chased a target of 245. Today, with a score of 28/1, they are aiming for a similar target. Recent history indicates they are on a comparable track.

Musheer, despite an initial drop, is showing good form. His decision-making outside the off-stump has been excellent. Since the ball won't swing for much longer, if the batters can navigate through this early burst from the bowlers, batting might become more straightforward. Nowadays, batsmen are less concerned about the run rate; it's more about playing each ball wisely and protecting the wickets.

Poor from Limbani. He erred, bowling a front foot no ball and paid the price. Bowled a wide next and then on free hit, he pitched it short as Anderson anticipated it coming and went on back foot to smash him for six. And that's a wicket. He bowls straight and seems had cut the pace again on the ball. Umpires check the front foot again but Limbani is fine on this occasion. Anderson departs for 13. Australia lose their sevent wicket.
