India's cricket team won the Under-19 Men's Cricket World Cup after beating England by a significant margin. The team, led by captain Ayush Mhatre, batted first and posted a score of 411 runs in their innings.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi, an Indian player who turns 15 next month, was the star of the match. He scored 175 runs off just 80 balls, including 30 boundaries, which is a new record for the highest score made in an Under-19 Cricket World Cup final. His impressive strike rate of 218.75 left England's bowlers stunned.
England's batting lineup struggled to cope with Suryavanshi's aggressive playing style and was eventually bowled out for 311 runs in 41 overs. The team's highest scorer, Caleb Falconer, managed a century off 67 balls but it wasn't enough to overcome India's strong total.
Suryavanshi, who previously hit the second-fastest century in IPL history with 101 off 38 balls, blazed a trail for himself as one of the most exciting young players in cricket. His performance was even more impressive given that he was just 14 years old when he scored that century against England last summer.
With this win, India has claimed their sixth U19 World Cup title and Suryavanshi became just the sixth player to score a century in an Under-19 World Cup final, clearing the previous highest score of 111.
