Many look forward to this clash, as it can redeem India from its ICC World Cup defeat in November 2023. But India U19 captain Uday Saharan has ruled out any such “revenge” tactic. “No, we are not thinking about revenge. We are firmly focussed on the present and neither wants to dwell on the past nor look too far ahead,” skipper Saharan recently told PTI Bhasha in Benoni.

Australian side has four powerhouses that could spell trouble for India- skipper Hugh Weibgen, opener Harry Dixon, seamers Tom Straker and Callum Vidler, the consistent performers during this edition.

India, on the other side, also has shown skill in all its departments during this tournament. Led by Saharan, who is leading the batting charts with 389 runs, the team’s performance got better with each match and the only time it has been pushed to a corner in the tournament is the semifinal where it pipped hosts South Africa by a solitary wicket.

India U19 had beaten Australia in the 2012 and 2018 finals and will try to reclaim the title from Aussies on Sunday.
