U19 World Cup Live Cricket Score, India vs Australia: India dominate Australia.
India posted 328 for 7 against Australia in their first game of the U19 World Cup in New Zealand. India openers Prithvi Shaw and Manjot Kalra laid the perfect platform for India and then Shubman Gill played a quick innings of 63 runs to help India cross the 300-run mark. India lost quick wickets towards the end of the innings but a few lusty blows from the lower order helped them to a big total. Both Kalra and Shaw missed out on individual centuries, falling marginally short of the three-figure mark. Shaw was batting on 94 when he edged it to the keeper while Kalra chipped one to midwicket and was dismissed for 86. This was after they had toyed with the Australian bowling in the morning. India won the toss and elected to bat on a good batting pitch. Shaw and Kalra began with a cautious start and took time to settle down. But once they got their eye in, both played good shots around the ground. Australia bowlers failed to trouble them, failing to stick a particular line. India’s left-right combination also troubled the Australian bowlers as they could not bowl to stop single.
India vs Australia, Live U19 World Cup Live Score and Updates: 1049 hrs IST: Five overs bowled and Australia have managed 23 runs for no loss. Still no wicket for India which can be worrisome. They need to break partnerships at regular intervals.

1000 hrs IST: India have done well to post 328 for 7. A brilliant start from Shaw and Kalra before a stunning innings from Shubman Gill. They looked good for 350 before Australia made a small comeback. But this a very good score

0955 hrs IST: WICKET! Shiva gone. A weird looking dismissal. Tries a reverse pull shot but he was beaten for pace. Hits his gloves and hits his boot. As he completes his shot, the ball comes back with the foot and hits the stumps!

0933 hrs IST: WICKET! A stunning innings of 63 runs off just 54 balls comes to an end. Shubman Gill is caught and bowled by Edwards. He had a catch dropped off the previous delivery but is not lucky this time. A powerful slap back towards the bowler and Edwards just stretches his hands. Caught!

0918 hrs IST: Dropped! Rana survives again! His catch is dropped at the boundary and it is Pope again! He was in no position to take the catch

0850 hrs IST: 200 up for India! A single for Shubman Gill and India bring up their second team century. This a solid platform for the team to launch a big attack in the death overs.
Prithvi Shaw looks so special. Brilliant 94 and a really solid start for India. Cheering for the boys, for many of whom this is a significant event in their endeavour to be India Cricketers. #INDvAUS #U19CWC

0831 hrs IST: WICKET! Prithvi Shaw has missed out on century! He is out for 94. A bit of bounce on that delivery from Sutherland and it gets the outside edge of Shaw’s bat. This time it is not a no-ball!
0825 hrs IST: SIX! Manjot Kalra with a pull off his waist to hit a big six over the fine-leg fielder. Top shot! That is a very long hit
0815 hrs IST: Another top shot from Shaw. And Kalra matches him with a drive of his own. This is just brilliant batting from both the openers
0807 hrs IST: A quick over of off-spin from Param Uppal. India are 139 for no loss after 23 overs. Another change in the bowling as Austin Waugh comes on to bowl

0645 hrs IST: WICKET! Prithvi Shaw has to walk back to the pavilion after he edges one behind to the wicketkeeper. Poor shot as poked at the delivery. Big wicket for Sutherland. The only wait here is that umpires are checking it for a no-ball. Wait… It is a no-ball. Sutherland has overstepped and Shaw has survived
