ICC Under-19 World Cup, Final: Hits and Misses

#2 Miss: Australian opening pair

After Australia won the toss and chose to bat first, it was imperative for Jack Edwards and Max Bryant to provide a solid start to their innings. However, it was not to be.

Bryant, who suffered the first dismissal of the day, was dismissed in the sixth over of the game by Ishan Porel. Edwards has been in good form in the tournament and got off to a decent start, but could not convert it into a big score. He scored 28 off 29 deliveries before he, too, sent back to the pavilion by the medium pace of Porel.

The failure to get off to a flyer of a start forced Australia to rebuild in the middle overs of the innings, which cost eventually cost them a dominating total in the match.
