Australia clinched their fourth Under 19 World Cup title beating India in the final of the U-19 World Cup 2024 by 79 runs on Sunday, February 11 at Willowmoore Park, Benoni. After opting to bat first, Australia posted a good score of 253/7 in their allotted 50 overs. Harjas Singh emerged as the top scorer for the Aussies with his knock of 55 (64) while captain Hugh Weibgen (48 off 66), Oliver Peake (46* off 43), and Harry Dixon (42 off 56) also made valuable contributions.
Right-arm seamer Raj Limbani was the pick of the bowlers for India with figures of 3/38 in ten overs while Naman Tiwari also picked up 2/63 in nine overs.

Adarsh Singh (47 off 77) and Murugan Abhishek (42 off 46) tried their best to take their team over the line, but their innings weren’t enough.
