Callum Vidler gets his second wicket and Abhishek has to depart after fighting alone and scoring 42 runs. India are now 9 down and Australia are now just a moment away from winning the trophy.

Macmillan serves it on a fullish length from around the wicket and Raj Limbani gets beaten in the flight and fails to get his bat down in time to keep it out. The ball comes in with the angle and sneaks past the bat to clatter into the stumps.

Adarsh Singh has to go now and Australia are now just moments away from celebrating their fourth U-19 World Cup victory. The Indian opener also misses out on his half-century by only 3 runs.

India have lost half their side now. Charlie Anderson gets the wicket of Priyanshu Moliya. The Indian fans can only rely on some miracles now.

A soft dismissal and India Under-19 are going down in a hurry here. Rafael Macmillan dismisses Aravelly Avanish for a duck. India are now six down as the Aussies are cruising towards the victory.

Rafael Macmillan strikes with his first delivery. India are in huge trouble as their match-winner departs for a single-digit score. Australia are now in complete control.

A sharp catch by the Aussie skipper and the Indian skipper departs for 8. Beardman offers width this time, on a good length, and Uday Saharan falls for the trap as he looks to force it through the off side. An outside edge that goes straight into the hands of the Aussie skipper at backward point.

The ball catches the bottom edge of the bat and deflects back onto the stumps. Harry Dixon will be relieved, having dropped Musheer when he was on 0. A huge wicket for Australia and India are now in huge trouble.

Arshin Kulkarni departs for another low score. Callum Vidler pitches this up on the off stump and gets it to shape away from the right-hander. Kulkarni gets caught on the back foot and ends up mistiming the shot. The ball just takes the outside edge and Ryan Hicks takes an easy catch.

Ollie Peake remains not out on 46 as Australia register 253 runs in 50 overs. Harjas Singh top scored with 55 runs while Harry Dixon (42) and Hugh Weibgen (48) added 78 runs for the second wicket. For India, Raj Limbani scalped 3 important wickets in 10 overs, leaking only 38 runs while Naman Tiwari got 2 wickets.

Raj Limbani picks up his third wicket. He goes full and straight now and the ball hits into the pads. The umpire has an easy decision to make. Australia Under-19 lose their seventh wicket.

India are in complete control as the Aussies are now six down. Musheer Khan gets his first wicket of the match.

Harjas Singh (55) departs right after reaching his fifty. Saumy Pandey, India's frontline spinner, bowls a quick full-on off-stump delivery and Singh looks to get down and sweep it away but is late on the shot and the ball goes on to hit the pads. The umpire raises the finger and the Aussies are now five down.

Limbani bowls on a hard length around off stump, and Hicks goes onto his back foot. He gets squared up as the ball hits him on the pads right in front of the stumps. A huge appeal and the umpire raises his finger for an OUT. Another sweet partnership goes down.

Tiwari bowls it on a back of a length and it is off-pace as well, Harry Dixon fails to pick the change of pace and lobs it tamely to the left of short extra cover. Murugan Abhishek runs to his left and slides to complete a safe catch. Australia loses both their set batsmen.

Hugh Weibgen falls two runs short of his fifty. Hugh gets lured into the drive and reaches out to get it through on the offside. He gets this one off the outside half of the bat and it goes straight into the hands of Musheer Khan at backward point.

Dixon is batting on 22 after facing the same amount of deliveries while Weibgen is on 17 off 30 deliveries.

Hugh Weibgen starts well while Dixon is continuing to rotate the strike.

Limbani gets the wicket of Sam Constas. The Aussie opener tries to whip the ball across the line instead of playing it straight. The ball swings back in to go past the inside edge and crashes into the stumps. What a delivery!!

The skipper, Hugh Weibgen is the new batter.

Dixon starts brilliantly for the Aussies with 2 fours and a maximum in the second over. Naman conceded 15 runs from his first over.

Limbani will bowl the first over with the new ball while Dixon and Konstas are ready to face the Indian seamer.

A brilliant first over comes to an end with Australia scoring 1 run from it. There was a big appeal for an LBW but the umpire wasn't convinced and India decided to not review the decision.

The players are on the pitch for the national anthems.

Ackerman reckons that the decision to bat first is an interesting one as the conditions are overcast and it is pretty humid as well. He also adds that on one side it is 64 meters and 63 meters on the other side and the straight boundary is 82 meters. Abhinav Mukund joins him and says that the theme in Benoni has been the bounce and that there could be variable bounce later on as there are cracks and it hasn't been watered either.

"We are very excited for the finals. Everyone's fit and well-prepared, and a good mindset. We've seen the wickets. We've played there before, and we know quite a bit about it. We're ready to face all the challenges," Saharan said.

"We were watching the game from the sidelines. We wanted to see how the game was panning out, and how competitive it was. We wanted to gauge the kind of challenges that we'd come across. We watched the ending as well in the hotel, it was a nice game with a close finish. But we've our plans, and we'll execute them," he added.
