Team Australia thrashed India by 79 runs to clinch the U-19 World Cup 2024 title on Sunday. The junior Australians followed in the footsteps of the senior team and defeated Team India in the summit clash, denying them another ICC title. Earlier in November, the Australian senior team defeated the Rohit Sharma-led team in the final of the ODI World Cup 2023. While the Australians show their absolute dominance in the game, they also aspire to be young talents of their country.
Recently, a video went viral on social media showing a three-year-old Australian boy showing off his batting prowess. The cute boy showed off his variety of shots and hit some sixes, while imitating the style of professional cricket.
He even celebrated his half-century by flaunting his bat and taking off his cute little hat. This adorable video went viral and left fans in awe.
“Mini Steve Smith,” one user wrote on the video.
“25.7 cr CSK right-handed batsman,” wrote another.
“The reason Australia wins the most trophies… practice from there, childhood and parental support,” wrote another.
Talking about the final Under-19 match, Australia made 253 for seven in their 50 overs after winning the toss and deciding to bat. Strongly built left-hander Harjas Singh scored a thumping 55 to highlight a solid batting performance.
India’s batting had been their strong point before the final, but they fell to 122 for eight against Australia’s fast bowling attack.
Opening batsman Adarsh Singh (47) was the only top-order batsman to shine.
Murugan Abhishek (42) led a lower-order resistance before the five-time champions were bowled out for 174.
Fast bowler Mahli Beardman took three for 15 and was named man of the match. Raf MacMillan, who did not play, took three for 41.
