2018 Under-19 World Cup Finals: India vs Australia, 5 talking points 

#2 A brilliant spell of bowling by India in the middle overs

After pacer Ishan Porel sent back Jack Edwards and Max Bryant within the first ten overs, the middle order came together in the hope of gluing the innings. When Captain Jason Sangha fell for a 24-ball 13, Uppal and Merlo raised hopes of a fighting total.

However, once Uppal was dismissed off the bowling of Anukul Roy, the opponents were unable to fight through and eventually succumbed to the Indian bowlers. They lost their last 5 wickets for 33 runs, with Shiva Singh and Roy scalping two wickets each.

The collapse swayed the momentum of the match in India’s favour and the Kangaroos could never really recover after this.
