IND vs AUS LIVE Score, U-19 World Cup 2024 Final: Dixon, Weibgen look to rebuild after Limbani strikes early; AUS 33/1 (6)

Saumy Pandey continues. Dixon tucks the length ball at midwicket to start the over with a single. Pandey keeps it in the middle and ends the over with three singles, as four comes from this one. 

Raj Limbani continues. Limbani to Weibgen, HUGE APPEAL as the ball stayed low and struck pads. The on-field umpire shows no interest. Limbani to Weibgen, FOUR! Tad bit short from Limbani, and Weibgen latches onto it and slashes through point for a boundary. Four dots to end the over as four runs come from it. 

Skipper Uday makes the first change instantly. He brings in Saumy Pandey and removes Naman Tiwari from the other end. Pandey keeps it tight and gives six from his first over. 

Raj Limbani continues. Limbani to Konstas, BOWLED! Absolute jaffa from Limbani as his peach of a full-length delivery goes through Sam Konstas’ defence to crash onto the stums as India gets its first breakthrough very early in this game! Konstas has gone for a duck. Hugh Weibgen is in at number three. Weibgen gets off the mark with a three in the last delivery. 

Sam Konstas b Limbani 0 (8b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0

Naman Tiwari comes from the other end. Tiwari to Dixon, FOUR! Lucky boundary for Dixon who edges the out swinging delivery which runs through the slip cordon to the third man. Tiwari to Dixon, SIX! This time no luck but pure class from Dixon. He goes to backfoot and swings hard to dispatch the ball over deep square leg for a back-to-back boundary. Tiwari to Dixon, FOUR! This is good from Dixon who drives past mid-on this time to put more pressure on the bowler. WIDE! Tiwari is losing his momentum as he errors in his line. Two dots to end the over. 

Raj Limbani starts from over the wicket to the left-hander Dixon. He keeps the first ball onto the pads and gets slight movement off the air as Dixon gets off the mark with a single. Limbani continues with over the wicket to Sam Konstas. Limbani to Konstas, beaten! He extracts the bounce to catch the batter off guard. A brilliant first over from Limbani who ends the over with five dot deliveries. 

Uday Saharan leads his pack of wolves out as Australia openers Harry Dixon and Sam Konstas take guard. Raj Limbani will start the proceedings for India with the new ball. 

We are moments away from the live action as players from countries are out there, and it is time for the National Anthem!

The conditions are helpful for the pace bowlers so it is a good toss to lose for India, recons WV Raman on comms.

Few careers will get wings to soar while some will fade into oblivion but on Sunday, all those sprightly 18 and 19-year-old Indian boys will leave no stone unturned to win a record sixth ICC Under-19 World Cup when they face Australia in the summit clash here.

On November 19 last year, an Australian team left Rohit Sharma and his band teary-eyed on a global stage and for the young Indians, beating an Aussie team would certainly be very sweet.

“No, we are not thinking about revenge. We are firmly focussed on present and we neither want to dwell on past or look too far ahead,” skipper Saharan recently told in Benoni.

The Aussies have a quartet which could spell trouble for India -- skipper Hugh Weibgen, opener Harry Dixon, seamers Tom Straker and Callum Vidler -- the consistent performers during this edition.
