U19 Cricket World Cup: India U19 failed in their bid to clinch their sixth title in the ICC Men's U19 Cricket World Cup as they suffered an untimely batting collapse to go down to Australia U19 by 79 runs in the final at Willowmoore Park, Benoni, on Sunday.

This is India's third successive defeat to a team from Australia in an elite ICC-organised tournament after the ICC World Test Championship final 2023 and ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023.

This is Australia's fourth title in the ICC Men's U19 Cricket World Cup, adding to the titles they had previously won in 1988, 2002 and 2010. Five-time winners India finished runner-up for the fourth time in their ninth appearance in the final.
