India lifts record fifth U-19 World Cup title, defeats England in summit clash
India won the U-19 World Cup for the fifth time, defeating England in the final at the Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Stadium.
In the final match, the Yash Dhull-led squad defeated the Three Lions by four wickets. India had won the U19 World Cup four times previously, in 2000, 2008, 2012, and 2018. India got off to the worst possible start in their chase for 190 runs as Joshua Boyden dismissed Angkrish Raghuvanshi (0) on the third ball of the innings. Harnoor Singh and Shaik Rasheed then joined forces at the crease and put on a second-wicket stand of 49 runs. As soon as India gained the upper hand, England roared back into the game in the 18th over as Thomas Aspinwall dismissed Harnoor (21), reducing India to 49/2.
