Let's forget there were any 2023 and 2024 finals lol
There is no need to focus on such silly things and look at India vs England test series, which i believe is going to be surprising and eye opening for all the fans be it bazball fanatics or home dominance retartds.

Barely defeating Pakistan in semifinal and dominating unbeaten team India in final, well done Australia.
February 11, 2024, 09:12:11 AM
Dude India in trouble, 4 wickets gone, Saharan's shot was beauty unfortunately direct to fielder. Must musher up huge partnership right now between Adarsh—Moliya, otherwise this match is likely gone for India. About 6 RR right now, if it goes further, it'll be hard to catch up too, pressure for batters to come, and they will quickly lose wicket trying to catch/keep up with it.
I added one wicket more...90/5, India's final five-wicket victory is becoming impossible to secure. It is not possible for India to avenge the defeat in the 2023 World Cup final. I thought that maybe India would be able to avenge the Men's World Cup-2023 final but we never expected that the undefeated champions before the final would have such a disaster against Australia in the final.
Added one further wicket lost..
92/6

In 34 overs India U19 team needs to collect 201 runs in this case India U19 team has eight wickets. India's equation is getting tougher as the overs go on. Can the India U19 team win today's final? As the post was written, another wicket fell for India. Uday Saran was run out after being cut out at backward point by Mahli Beardman for a personal 8 runs. With Uday Saran's dismissal, India fell further into disarray and looked more likely to miss out on a possible final win.
In final game, Australia under 19s team set 253 runs target in 50 oners by losing 7 wickets this target was good and also they made very brilliant effort in bowling lineup. Australia under 19s team dismissed 4 wickets of India under 19s team S.Dhas, U.Saharan, M.Khan and A.Kulkarni and scored 90 runs in 24.4 overs. Now seeing their current condition of India under 19s team is very poor and in low runs they lost good batsman. A.Singh effort was good at this time and he scored 32 runs in 64 balls with three 4s. One more wicket was dismissed and total wickets are lost of India under 19s team. This player P.Moliya was recently dismissed and scored only 9 runs in 21 balls. Now India under 19s team need 163 runs in 24.3 overs and I don't see any chance for India under 19s team to win this game but any thing happen at end of game.

India U19 vs Australia U19, Final is underway. Australia U19 have done their batting and scored 253 runs. The interesting fact is, this time already opt to bat even after won the toss and I must say all of their batsman played as well like Harry Dixon(42), Hugh Weibgen (48), Harjas Singh(55), Oliver Peake (46*). Meanwhile India U19 started batting and it sounds they are in trouble. They keep losing wickets one by one. Opener batsman Adarsh Singh still on the field but he is still suffering during runs. He has done 33 runs from 66 bowls with 50 Strike Rate. Rest of batsman haven't done any mentionable performance. Well 25 overs is gone and the final update is 90-5 only and India U19 still need 164 runs from rest of 25 overs which seem totally difficult.

A couple of quick wickets and Australia will tighten the noose, scorecard pressure does wonders in the finals so this batting pair needs to find 20-30 quick runs for pressure release.
True, playing defensive and losing wickets is like playing to lose, unfortunately India is at losing side right now, and now don't have much hopes as Moliya just departed as well at mere 90 runs.
If Mushir Khan from here plays a big inning, and more importantly India wins the game, Australia will have a huge regret for him dropping him easy. Also, Adarsh Singh is defending so good.
India is at 28-1 at 10 overs, I'd say, India is still in good position, and my bet is still on India to win this one, India has huge batting depth, plus how Saharan played in semi-final against SA after India losing 4 quick wickets also bolsters my confidence.

Sir Lanka are playing now and they have scored 200 runs in 43 overs with the lose of 4 wickets .
And now C Asalanka and J liyanage playing. Both of them are playing their innings very well and both have almost completed their half centuries.C Asalanka made 64 run in 54 balls with continue their inning and J liyanage made 44 runs in 45 balls . I hope if they both continue his inning they give a run target 300 run plus .

What if Pathum Nissanka didn't make runs when you have Charith Asalanka, Janith Liyanage, Sadeera Samarawickrama, and the last Kusal Mendis here. These are all the players who make 300 runs for their team.
At this time, three hundred runs are not hit but I think when you see this post so maybe 300 runs hit or innings was also finished for Sri Lanka. At this time, I think this series is good for the Sri Lankan team. Charith Asalanka needed some more runs to completed his century and in this match, we will again see a century by any Sri Lankan player. In tour match, an Afghanistan player hit a century but after that match we see only Sri Lanka players everywhere.
Sri Lanka has been able to get 308 runs in the allotted 50 overs and they have lost 6 wickets while doing so. Right now the middle of innings-break is going on. I don't think Afghanistan will be able to chase the target successfully because the target is definitely very huge. But Afghanistan will also have to do everything to win this match at the same time because if they lose this match they will lose the series because Sri Lanka is already leading by one-zero. But looking at the target it definitely looks very hard.

An early wicket helped them (the Australian team), but now the Indian team pressure slowly calmed down and if this keeps going like this so it will be dangerous for the Australian team because maybe the Australian team will lose it but I think that the Australian pacers will pick another wicket again.
One good partnership for the Indian team and the match belongs to them.

Harjas Singh played well in the middle, but India gained control when Australia were 187-6. Then, Oliver Peake played a crucial knock, taking them to 253/7! Australia has a strong pace attack against India's good batting. It's going to be an exciting chase or defense. Best of luck to Team India in the chase as it's a tough target. But Australia is always dominant in the final stretch.
Now, slowly Indian team is slowly catching up with the score and maybe they can win this World Cup but if the Australian team starts to pick wickets and bowls to their pacers so it will be good because in the previous match, their pacers helped them very much so I hope that they will not leave their team hopeless in this critical match situation.

A target of 254 runs can be considered a big target on this pitch at Willowmoore Park. The average score of the first innings of this pitch is 233 runs and the average score of the second innings is only 179 runs. So a collection of 253 runs is enough to win if the bowlers can bowl well.
Just they need to have a mindset in which they only need to pass the overs and nothing else. If this time, Australian bowlers did a good bowling so the could become man of the match in this final. Anything thing can happen in this Sunday's final and its still anyone's game.
I would fancy both teams can win at the moment.

Sam Konstas batter was unable to display impressive performance but he wiped out at 0 score and Raf MacMillan batter also wiped out at 2 scores and not showing Superb performance. Now let's see the performance of India U19 sqaud batter they will defeat this target or not.[....]
Wow, what a beauty. Just the game is starting and the Australian bowlers couldn't wait and they picked a wicket. Three runs were made by batsmen and the batsman who made these runs was been out by a very good youngster from Australia Callum Vidler.
Arshin Kulkarni has gone, making runs against Australian bowlers got expensive, and after seeing this wicket Musheer Khan came and he was also scared and every single bowl that he played he left it or tipped on it. Now, Adarsh Singh making runs but I hope later he will also go as his partner Arshin Kulkarni wet to the dressing room. Indian team is loved to win all the matches and looking a bit shaking in the final match.

India U-19. vs AUstralia U-19
The Indian team is going to face the Australian team today in the final of the Under-19 World Cup. We know that the Australian national team is very lucky for the semi-final and final matches. I am looking forward to see how the Australia U19 team will play.
It was not easy for Australia to win against Pakistan U19 in the semi-final. Their batsmen are not playing well. But the first semi-final match between India vs South Africa was also very competitive. Both India and Australia are very strong teams. So it is impossible to predict with certainty which team will win. Both teams have chances to win. I am my favorite team Australia.

It's always difficult to predict the out come of finals. Aussies were very lucky to win the tight contest in semi finals. Today's final will also be a tough contest as both teams are best of the tournaments. Aussies U19 have won the toss and they have decided to bat first. To be in safe zone Aussies must score 250, anything less then 200 will make India favorite for this contest.
After winning the toss, Australia under-19 captain decided to bat. A target of 253 runs in 50 overs they managed to deliver. If the bowlers perform well, Australia will win.
Opener Harry Dixon batted well. He got out after collecting 42 runs from 56 balls. Captain Weibgen scored 48 and Harjas Singh scored 55 runs. Oliver Peake played a brilliant innings of 46 runs from 43 balls at the crucial moment. It is not going to be easy for the Indian team to win by batting at a target of 254. I would say that the chances of winning the title are now more than the Australian team.

So far good cricket from both sides. The Aussies are building good partnerships and then the Indians keep chipping wickets by removing dangerous looking batter.
Australia should fancy their chance of touching or even crossing the 260 mark in the last 12 overs. That should be enough to put pressure on the Indians in the finals.
---------------------------------
Edit
Oh well, 6th wicket down. They are not touching the 260 mark now.

Good work from Indian bowlers and now it seems that Aussies might be able to make 250 in 9 overs that are left for batting. If Indians can restrict Aussies before 250 then they have a bright chance to win the game. Indian bowlers have regularly picked up wickets and doesn't allowed any Aussie batter to settle on the crease. Oliver Peake is well set Aussie batsmen at the moment and he need to stay on the crease if they want to make sure they make 250.
The Australian Under 19 team gave a very good target to the Indian team in the Final and the two overs were gone in these 2 overs Indian team made 0 runs, A run was hit but it was also from a wide ball and if they made this thing into the at least 10, meanwhile they able to Indian team to make just 15 runs at the first 10 overs so it will very good. From Indian prospective, they need to score and also not lose wickets.

In the 2nd ODI match of Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan team Sri Lanka batted for 112 runs in 23 overs. Pathum Nissanka got out for 18 runs in 17 balls. Avishka Fernando got out for 5 runs in 23 balls. Avishka Fernando did not bat well in today's match. .Sri Lanka team can give a target of 250 runs if they perform well in batting.Kusal Mendis started a good performance in batting.He scored 54 runs in 56 balls.
Sri Lanka won the toss and elected batting. Sri Lanka batsman makes 5 run in 1 over and Afghanistan no any wicket against Sri Lanka batsman. Afghanistan bowler out the Sri Lanka batsman in the last ball of the 4 over. This is the first achievement for Afghanistan team. This is the bad started for Sri Lanka batsman. Once time again Afghanistan bowler out the Sri Lanka batsman in the third ball of the 8 over. This is the second achievement for Afghanistan team. Sri Lanka batsman makes 40 run in 10 over and 2 outs. Sri Lanka batsman are not working hard and struggle and can not make run. Sri Lanka batsman makes 212 run in 40 over and 4 outs. Now let's see how difficult the Sri Lanka batsmen give Afghanistan a target and whether the Afghanistan batsmen can meet the target or not.And now C Asalanka and J liyanage playing. Both of them are playing their innings very well and both have almost completed their half centuries.C Asalanka made 64 run in 54 balls with continue their inning and J liyanage made 44 runs in 45 balls . I hope if they both continue his inning they give a run target 300 run plus .

After losing the first wicket for just 16 runs, Dixon and Weibgen built a fine partnership. This pair collected 78 runs. And finally with the help of Peake's 46 runs, the team managed to give the target of 254 runs.
India's two openers are batting very carefully. India collected only 1 run in 2 overs. It is very difficult to win a big target if the opening pair is not good.
