An impressive Australian team delivered a stellar display in all facets of the game to clinch their fourth ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup title, triumphing over a strong Indian team in an electrifying final showdown at Willowmoore Park in Benoni on Sunday.

Hugh Weibgen lead from the front, shouldering the responsibility of skipper whilst hitting 48 runs, including 5 fours, as Australia were crowned champions.

Australian skipper Hugh Weibgen was proud of the effort from his team, especially the quicks, and also had a few words of encouragement for India.

“Our plan was to bat first and try and get runs on the board. We backed ourselves. A quality innings from Harjas [Singh]. Full credit to the coaches for sticking with him. They [pacers] can go far as a unit, they know their roles so well. I’ll be surprised if the four of them don’t go a long way in their careers. India are a class side, they dominated the whole tournament, just came out on the wrong side.”
