Unlike India, Australia had stuttered to the final, enduring a close shave against Pakistan in the semifinal, but when it mattered they produced a ruthless performance reminiscent of their seniors to crush India by 79runs to claim their fourth U-19 title. Piling 253 for 7, the highest total ever inan U-19final, on what commentator lan Bishop described as "one of the fastest surfaces I have ever seen for a U-19 World Cup, with significant lateral movement, bounce and carry”, they bowled out India for 174 runs.
