India vs Australia U19 World Cup 2024 Finals- when and where to watch, venue, most likely playing XIs, full squad details, Pitch Report, Weather and more
U-19 Team India justified their defending champions tag by finishing at the top of the Group A points table, trouncing Bangladesh, Ireland, Nepal and the USA in the process with emphatic margins. Under Uday Saharan, the ‘Boys in Blue’ also ravaged New Zealand by 214 runs in the Super Sixes and overcame South Africa by two wickets in a hard-fought semifinal thriller at Benoni roughly a week before the planned finals.
Australia u19, under Hugh Weibgen, will aim to end their 14-year-old title drought, considering the last time they lifted the Under-19 World Cup trophy was way back in the 2010 tournament edition. Much like India, the Australian team will be heading into the title clash off the back of an unbeaten run.

Pitch report
While the surface at Willowmoore Park is generally known to be conducive for batters, it has been offering much assistance to the fast bowlers in this Under-19 World Cup 2024. The average first innings total at the venue after hosting five matches this tournament has emerged in the range of mid-190s. The captain winning the toss will likely opt to field first, considering the chasing sides have won three of the past five fixtures here, including twice in both semifinals this week.
