- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR22.5 What a comeback this is for Naman Tiwari! Outfoxes him with the slower one! It's an off-cutter on a length outside off. Dixon was early on the shot and the ball pop towards cover after hitting high on the bat. Abhishek makes no mistake, moving to his left. Dixon was just looking to fend that away, but pushed at the ball too early. Tiwari is pumped! 99/32.3 not to be denied this time! It's the big in-swinger that's done the trick for Limbani and India. Konstas is completely off balance as he's sucked into a drive, plays all around it as this one sneaks through to knock off middle and off. Dream delivery for a swing bowler. Limbani will replay that many, many times over in the years to come. What a start for India. 16/120.4 Tiwari has struck! It's full outside off, luring Weibgen into the drive. He gets a thick edge and the ball flies to backward point where Musheer Khan makes no mistake. A burgeoning partnership broken, the Indian players are pumped as the Australia captain walks back two runs short of a half-century 94/237.5 Harjas misses the sweep and Saumy Pandey gets a big wicket! Tosses it up full around off as Harjas resorts to a shot that has fetched him runs today. But the ball stays low and beats the bat to trap him in front. It's almost a celebrappeal from the Indian players and the fingers goes up immediately 181/534.1 that's the big wicket that can be momentum changing! Limbani has done in Hicks with a nip-backer. The ball deviates big off the seam and beats the inside edge to strike him low on the pad. As easy as lbw decisions come. A threatening partnership has been broken. 165/439.5 Punched straight back to the bowler! Grip and turn again as MacMillan looks to block but ends up chipping it to the bowler's left. Musheer is quick to react and gobbles it up! 187/645.3 Great comeback from Limbani! Goes for a slower ball, straight, around off. Anderson can't get bat on it and up goes the finger. Anderson was looking to work it leg side but missed. They have a check for no-ball, but it was a legal delivery 221/7Extras19 (lb 11, nb 1, w 7)TOTAL253/7 (50 Overs, RR: 5.06)Fall of wickets: 1-16 (Sam Konstas, 2.3 ov), 2-94 (Hugh Weibgen, 20.4 ov), 3-99 (Harry Dixon, 22.5 ov), 4-165 (Ryan Hicks, 34.1 ov), 5-181 (Harjas Singh, 37.5 ov), 6-187 (Raf MacMillan, 39.5 ov), 7-221 (Charlie Anderson, 45.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR30.3 the pace and bounce of Boardman fells Adarsh! He picked Vidler away for a six in the previous over, so when he saw this angled in short from around the stumps, his first instinct was to try and take on the short ball, but this one skidded through a lot quicker and bobbled up off the gloves to Hicks behind the stumps. Is that the final nail in India's coffin? 115/72.2 beauty and that's the end of Arshin Kulkarni. Pokes at a full delivery, a perfect out swinger, gets a thin nick and Hicks takes a straightforward catch. 3/112.2 Knocks him over! Beardman reels away in celebrations. It's on the fuller side of good length and Musheer stays on the back foot. The ball doesn't rise as much as he though as he looks to defend and goes off the bottom edge onto the stumps. Bowling change brings a wicket for Australia 40/216.5 Slashed straight to backward point! Saharan throws his head up in disgust. Mahli Beardman has got a massive breakthrough here! It's a back of length delivery outside off, Saharan looks to cut and hits it straight to Weibgen, who makes no mistake as he takes the catch of his opposite number! 55/319.1 And has he struck first ball? He has! Dhas has nicked off to the first ball of spin India have faced today! Tossed up outside off, he pokes at it and gets an edge and Ryan Hicks gobbles it up. The Australia players were very confident of the nick and the umpire thinks long and hard before giving him out. This is a huge moment in the game! 68/424.5 That's gone up high in the air and plucked out at mid-on! The short ball does the trick as Moliya looks to fetch it from well outside off with a pull. Comes off the lower side of the bat and Vidler makes no mistake backpedalling to grab that above his head 90/525.3 chipped back to the bowler. There can't be a softer dismissal than that. Gently tossed up, the ball drifts in a hint and Avanish is through with the shot a tad too early. It's the simplest of return catches for MacMillan. India are on the bat and right on the edge. 91/640.3 No mistake this time! Callum Vidler breaks this stubborn stand. This is dug in short and Abhishek went for the pull. Ended up skying it off the top edge. Weibgen settles under it and takes it reverse-cupped. Instant relief for him. Australia just one away now! Abhishek walks back after a defiant innings 168/931.5 yorked! Full, straight, drifting in and bam! Limbani too late to jam his bat down. 122/843.5 That is that. Australia are Under-19 world champions! Dug in short and Pandey looks to ramp it but just gets an edge to the keeper. Australia have dominated the final and off they go celebrating! 174/10Extras18 (lb 7, nb 1, w 10)TOTAL174 all out (43.5 Overs, RR: 3.96)Fall of wickets: 1-3 (Arshin Kulkarni, 2.2 ov), 2-40 (Musheer Khan, 12.2 ov), 3-55 (Uday Saharan, 16.5 ov), 4-68 (Sachin Dhas, 19.1 ov), 5-90 (Priyanshu Moliya, 24.5 ov), 6-91 (Aravelly Avanish, 25.3 ov), 7-115 (Adarsh Singh, 30.3 ov), 8-122 (Raj Limbani, 31.5 ov), 9-168 (Murugan Abhishek, 40.3 ov), 10-174 (Saumy Pandey, 43.5 ov)
