India vs England LIVE Score, U19 World Cup Final: India beat England by 100 runs to win their 6th Under-19 World Cup trophy. Caleb Falconer kept England alive with a fighting century, but only to delay the inevitable. England were bowled out for 311, giving the Indian team a well-deserved win. Special props to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi for playing an unbelievable knock of 175 in the final....Read More
India are moments away from a record-extending Under 19 World Cup title. England imploded in their chase of a record 412 as how? From 93/1, they have been reduced to 177/7, losing six wickets for 84 runs in a massive collapse. RS Ambrish, Deepesh Devendran picked two wickets each, while Khilan Patel, Kanishk Chauhan and captain Ayush Mhatre chipped in with a wicket each.
India endured a mini-collapse after Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s 175, but Kanishk Chauhan’s 37-run cameo off 20 balls took India to a record total of 411/9, the highest ever in an Under-19 World Cup final.
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi looked set for his maiden double century, and the first-ever in an Under-19 World Cup, but missed the landmark by 25 runs. Still, his innings of 175 is arguably the greatest ever played, with the commentators drawing comparisons with Kapil Dev’s immortal knock against Zimbabwe at the 1983 World Cup. Sooryavanshi’s carnage, which included 13 sixes and 13 fours, may have ended, but with more than half the innings left, India could well eye in excess of 450 or more.
Sooryavanshi, 14, entered the record books by smashing a 55-ball century against England in the U19 World Cup final on Friday. The 14-year-old reserved his best for the last, hitting a whirlwind ton to help India bludgeon the England colts. His innings was studded with a plethora of boundaries and a range of sixes as he blew the wind out of England's sails. England’s captain Thomas Rew looked shell-shocked behind the stumps as Suryavanshi cruised to his century in true crash, bang and wallop style.
India lost captain Ayush Mhatre, but not before the skipper entertained with a knock of 53 off 51 balls. This was before he and Sooryavanshi added 142 runs for the second wicket. Before that, India were rocked early, with Aaron George, the centurion from the last game, getting out caught at point for 9 off 11 off the bowling of Alex Green.

We thought knowing what to chase would help our tempo. Caleb, unbelievable knock, and Dawks too to try and chase that.
