Australia clinched the U19 World Cup title, defeating India by 79 runs in a one-sided final. India's batting collapsed as Australia posted 253, their highest final total. Despite captain Uday Saharan's strong tournament performance, India's top-order failed. Australia's Mahli Beardman and Raf MacMillan took crucial wickets, restricting India to 174. It marks Australia's fourth U19 title and third successive win over India in ICC men's finals. The loss adds to India's recent final woes after defeats in the ICC Men's World Cup and ICC World Test Championship. Australia's captain Hugh Weibgen led from the front, sealing their long-awaited victory.
