To prepare for the U19 World Cup Final, the India U19 team watched the PAK vs AUS semi final
The U19 team of India has already qualified for the U19 World Cup 2024 Final after beating hosts South Africa on February 6. Skipper Uday Saharan and Sachin Dhas pulled an incredible heist in Benoni to take their side home. With the final scheduled to be played on February 11, the Men in Blue should be toiling hard in the nets.
Well, that’s not how the Uday Saharan-led team is preparing for the U19 World Cup Final. Instead of training in the gym or practicing in the nets, the India U19 has decided to watch the second semi-final to determine who they’ll face on the 11th.
With both the semi-finals and the final being played in Benoni at Willowmoore Park, it makes sense for the Men in Blue to prepare for their opponent by watching them play live.
The highest wicket-taker in India, Saumy Pandey, fast bowler Raj Limbani, and skipper Saharan were captured watching the intense PAK vs. AUS U19 semi-final from the sidelines. Having already been tested by South Africa at Benoni, the Men in Blue will be ready for their upcoming challenge. India has faced Pakistan once and Australia twice in the U19 World Cup Finals.
