<p><strong>ICC U19 World Cup 2024:</strong> "<em>History repeats itself</em>!" India vs Australia again in the FINAL of the Cricket World Cup. A bit of a nostalgic moment for Indian viewers as the Indian Cricket team faced the Australian cricket team just three months ago and the memories are bitter. Australia U19 defeated Pakistan U19 in the second semifinal of the ICC U19 World Cup 2024 and sealed the final ticket against India.</p>

<p>What a thriller end of the second semifinal! Pakistan U19 were so close but yet so far as they lost the match where they could have won if they were much more active. Either Australia U19 didn't have an easy day on the ground but they did a decent enough job and reached the small target set by Pakistan.</p>



<p>Hence, Australia U19 are going to the final of the ICC U19 World Cup 2024 and India U19 are already waiting for them.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="australia-u-19-vs-pakistan-u-19-match-summary"><strong>Australia U19 vs Pakistan U19: Match Summary</strong></h2>



<p>Australia won the toss and asked Pakistan to bat first. The batting form of Pakistan has gone down with each match passing by and a similar performance followed today in the second semifinal against Australia U19. Slow run rate at the start resulting in pressure on the batting side and eventually a wicket.</p>



<p>Tom Straker wrecked Havoc in the first spell and knocked out the opener Shamyl Hussain and the skipper Saad Baig for cheap. Pakistan were 4 down for just 53 runs in 19 overs. Azan Awais and Arafat Minhas were the only two batters from the Pakistan side to go past 17 runs and both scored steller 50s.</p>



<p>Australia never allowed Pakistan U19 to build a partnership and as many as eight Pakistani batters were out with a single-digit score. Pakistan posted 179 runs on the board out of which 20 were extras. Tom Straker picked up 6 wickets.</p>



<p>Australia U19 needed 180 runs in 300 balls so their being cautious and playing slow was quite acceptable. The Aussies also got a slow start and lost their first wicket on 33 runs just after the first powerplay. In-form Hugh Weibgen went back soon and suddenly Australia were 4 down for 59 runs.</p>

<p>Oliver Peake and Harry Dixon then weaved a partnership, giving Australia life support in the middle. Harry Dixon completed his 50 and got out. While Peake got support from Tom Campbell, they took Australia very close to the target and we saw another fumble from the Australian team.</p>



<p>Australia U19 needed 25 runs off around 45 balls having 4 wickets in hand but Ali Raza's heroic efforts with the ball turned the table and Australia lost three quick wickets under 9 runs. They still needed 16 runs with just one wicket left. </p>



<p>Raf MacMillan was the last hope standing for Australia and he stood up the expectations. He held his nerves and scored the final 19 runs leading his team to a majestic win. Australia U19 defeated Pakistan U19 by 1 wicket.</p>

India vs Australia In U19 World Cup FINAL as Australia U19 Beat Pakistan U19 In Semifinal | ICC U19 World Cup 2024

<p><strong>(9 FEB) ICC U19 World Cup 2024: </strong>So it is India U19 vs Australia U19 in the final of ICC U19 World Cup 2024! Australia U19 defeated Pakistan U19 in the second semifinal of the ICC Under-19 main event. Ubaid Shah ended the tournament at 18 wickets became second highest wicket taker for Pakistan in the history of the tournament. Here we are with the updated list of Players with most runs and most wickets in the ICC U19 World Cup 2024.</p>



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#most-runs-icc-u-19-world-cup-2024-player-rankings-1-10">Most Runs: ICC U19 World Cup 2024 ?

<p>If you thought the first semifinal was tight, this one pushed the players to their limits. In a knockout match between two quality teams, the pressure is on both sides. This very easily might have gone anyway. Excellent bowling display from either side and below-par batting performance is what they both would agree on.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/02/Australia-1.jpg" alt="India vs Australia In U19 World Cup FINAL as Australia U19 Beat Pakistan U19 In Semifinal | ICC U19 World Cup 2024" class="wp-image-126396" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">India vs Australia In U19 World Cup FINAL (Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<p>Batting first, Pakistan got a slow start and Tom Straker went through the top wickets. The highest run scorer for Pakistan in tournament Shahzaib Khan wasn't able to connent bat to the ball. Azan Awais and Arafat Minhas went past individual 50s and eight pakistani batters were out for a single digit score. That left Pakistan a just 179 runs in the end of their innings.</p>



<p>All would have thought it is an easy chase for Australia but not against Pakistan. Australia aslo got a sluggish start and lost wickets in quick successions. Opener Harry Dixon struck 50 and Oliver Peake scored important 49 runs in the middle when Australia were struggling. Australia needed 16 runs when they were 9 down. Raf MacMilllan played a supreb knock and took the team home. Australia won the game by 1 wicket.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/02/Pakistan-U19-1-2.jpg" alt="India vs Australia In U19 World Cup FINAL as Australia U19 Beat Pakistan U19 In Semifinal | ICC U19 World Cup 2024" class="wp-image-126395" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">ICC U19 World Cup 2024: Australia U19 vs Pakistan U19</figcaption></figure>



<p>You won't see Oliver Peake's 49 off 75 impressive when you just look at the numbers but it was a significant knock that lead his team close to victory. Tom Straker was the star with the ball for them, returning with figures of 6/24.</p>



<p>Down below is the updated list of players with the most runs and the most wickets in the ICC U19 World Cup 2024:</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="most-runs-icc-u-19-world-cup-2024-player-rankings-1-10"><strong>Most Runs: ICC U19 World Cup 2024 ? Player Rankings 1-10</strong></h2>



<p>Harry Dixon's 50 led him to the 5th rank in the most runs list with 267 runs. He has played 6 innings and average just over 44. Pakistani opener Shahzaib Khan ended the tournament with 264 runs. He was at the top of the list after the group stage but his performance in last few games were dissapointing and he is ranked 6th in the most runs tally.</p>



<p>In addition to leading the side to win with his outstanding 81-run knock, Indian skipper Uday Saharan also set a new record for most runs scored in six matches with 389 runs. In terms of batting statistics, he is followed by Indian batsman Musheer Khan. Khan is now the second-highest run scorer in the competition after six games with 338 runs scored.</p>



<p>Third place goes to Sachin Dhas. The fact that Indian hitters hold the top three spots for most runs scored is pretty intriguing and another evidence of their domination in the competition. With a total of 287 runs, Lhuan-Dre PRETORIUS of South Africa sits in fourth place. His journey came to an end in this competition after loss against India.</p>
