India claimed their record-extending sixth ICC U19 World Cup title, defeating England by 100 runs in Harare on February 6. Fourteen-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi delivered a historic 80-ball 175 studded with a record 15 sixes, powering India to a mammoth 411-run total. England were bundled out for 311 in response. Captain Ayush Mhatre's side topped their fifth consecutive final appearance with victory. India previously won the tournament in 2000, 2008, 2012, 2018, and 2022, reaching the decider for a record 10th time. England, undefeated before the final and seeking their second title after 1998, saw their dreams dashed by Sooryavanshi's innings for the ages. (PC: BCCI)
