India captain Prithvi Shaw and Australia captain Jason Sangha.[/caption] Preview: An unanticipated consequence of Australia’s decision not to send a team to the 2016 ICC Under 19 Cricket World Cup in Bangladesh is that, without placing at that tournament, they were at the mercy of fate when it came to who they would share a group with. From a neutral’s point of view, it could hardly have turned out better, with India v Australia set to be one of the clashes of the entire group stages. They are the two most successful teams in U19 CWC history, having each won the tournament three times apiece, and both have brought sides stacked full of top-class players, many of whom have already had success against high-class opposition. We may well look back on this fixture, and the names of those who took part, and be amazed at how many have gone on to have significant careers. Don’t miss it. Form guide For both teams, it’s a case of which one decides to show up. Both have veered between excellent and poor in the last 12 months, with little middle ground. India stormed through two five-match series against England, losing just once and winning eight, with one tie. But the Under 19 Asia Cup was a huge disappointment, as the lost to Nepal and Bangladesh and crashed out at the group stages. Australia similarly had a 4-1 series victory set against a 2-0 reverse against Pakistan. Both teams had notable absentees when they struggled – the likes of Jason Sangha for Australia, and Prithvi Shaw and Shubman Gill for India – but they will still both be desperate to put those memories behind them with a strong opening performance. Players to watch Lloyd Pope (Aus)You don’t often associate legspinners with consistency, with purveyors of the mysterious art normally capable of taking bags of wickets one day and going the distance the next. But in Australia U19s’ series against Sri Lanka U19s, Lloyd Pope bucked the trend, picking up three wickets in each of his four appearances during the series. India traditionally play spin well, but if they underestimate the wild-haired wristspinner, it could be their undoing. Prihtvi Shaw (Ind)The player some are hailing as Sachin Tendulkar’s heir loves a debut; he marked both his first Ranji Trophy and Duleep Trophy – India’s zonal first class competition – appearances with hundreds, although with five hundreds from nine first-class games, it’s almost more notable from him to fail than for him to ton up. With this game marking his Under 19 World Cup debut, the odds must be short on him making yet another three-figure score. World Cup history Australia won the first-ever ICC U19 Cricket World Cup in 1988, and have since added the 2002 and 2010 titles to their collection. Featuring among the teams were future international cricketers Stuart Law, George Bailey, Shaun Marsh, and Josh Hazlewood. Australia chose not to compete at the 2016 edition of the tournament due to the threat of terrorism. India won their first title in 2000, with Yuvraj Singh claiming the player of the tournament award, a feat he would emulate for the senior side in 2011 as India won the World Cup proper. The 2004 player of the tournament also came from India, though the Shikhar Dhawan-inspired side lost to Pakistan in the final. The 2008 side, captained by one Virat Kohli, also claimed the title, and India added a third triumph in 2012. In 2016 they came desperately close to securing a record-breaking fourth trophy, but were beaten by West Indies in a last-over thriller. Head to head Australia and India have clashed 33 times at this level, with the ledger currently reading 19-14 in favour of the latter. In World Cups however, the teams are tied at two wins apiece. Their most recent World Cup clash came in 2012, when, thanks to an Unmukt Chand century, India triumphed in the final. Forecast There is a chance of showers throughout the day, although rain is by no means a certainty. Frustratingly, since play is set to start at 2pm, the rain is most likely to stay away during the morning.

Australia were outplayed in all departments. Indian openers –Shaw and Kalra – setting up the platform with Shubnam Gill coming and striking a timely half-century to take India to 328. Australia started off well, but losing Bryant and Merlo at crucial junctures pegged them back. With Edwards not been able to find the fence regularly and nobody really stuck around with him. Indian fast bowlers were breathtaking to watch. Porel missed out due to an unfortunate slip and twisting his ankle but Mavi and Nagarkoti clocking high on the speed gun produced a sight to be remembered for a long time
)
ALL OUT! Slower full toss that dips on Holt. Missed the pull and the ball hit him high on the pads, almost on his thighs. Umpire thinks it would have gone onto hit the leg stump. India finish the game with more than seven overs to go.
Baxter J Holt lbw b Shivam Mavi 39(30)
After 42 overs, Australia 221/8 (Baxter Holt 33, Jason Ralston 2)
Five runs come off Shiva’s over.
After 41 overs, Australia 215/8 (Baxter Holt 29, Jason Ralston 0)
A fortuitous four that went over the keeper’s head off the top edge and a six helped Australia take 16 runs off the over, but it displayed Mavi’s ability to bowl the short ball to good effect. With game in the bag he can experiment.
OUT! Malvi replaced Nagarkoti and now he has awicket to his name. What a superbly executed short ball, bowled at 143 clicks that climbed on to Bartlett, he managed a top edge with Aryan taking a simple catch. India two wickets away.
Xavier Bartlett c Aryan Juyal b Shivam Mavi 7(5)
After 40 overs, Australia 199/7 (Baxter Holt 18, Xavier Bartlett 2)
Chance of run-out at the keeper’s end missed by India a better throw would have meant curtains for Holt. Few things to learn for the colts, but they have unreal promise and talent. Four runs off the over.
After 39 overs, Australia 195/7 (Baxter Holt 15, Xavier Bartlett 1)
Nagarkoti is wrecking havoc in Australian camp. Outfoxed Holt with a slower delivery, displaying his variety, as Holt got an inner half of the bat that almost carried to backward square leg fielder with the ball bouncing just in front and running into the boundary.
After 38 overs, Australia 187/6 (Will Sutherland 10, Baxter Holt 8)
Shiva Singh being brought back. Starts with a full ball on leg. Holt attempt a slog but fails to conect. He tries again th enext ball, same result. The third ball is hit to mid-off where Shaw misfields and concedes a single. Sutherland runs two on the fourth ball. These are long boundaries, so twos are always on if the placement is right. One more run on the next ball and Shiva completes a neat, four-run over.
After 37 overs, Australia 183/6 (Will Sutherland 7, Baxter Holt 7)
Nagarkoti completes his sixth over giving away eight runs of the over. He has looked in control for most of the innings but in the process of getting that extra pace he sprays it wide. Holt looked to pull the short ball and got a top edge that landed in vacant spaces.
After 36 overs, Australia 175/6 (Will Sutherland 7, Baxter Holt 1)
Sutherland gets one to clear the fence and helps Australia collect nine runs off the over. Roy gets his man in Edwards. India are all over the Aussies, almost improbable to get back into the game.
After 35 overs, Australia 166/5 (Jack Edwards 72, )
Nagarkoti bowls a wicket-maiden and we are in the last 15 overs of the match. He has been sensational, constantly hitting the mid 140s. Australian batsman have been completely outdone here.
After 34 overs, Australia 166/4 (Jack Edwards 72, Austin Waugh 6)
Abhishek Sharma has been right on the money since the start today, not allowing the batsmen to break free. Five runs come off the over. Australia need 163 off the last 16.
After 33 overs, Australia 157/4 (Jack Edwards 70, Austin Waugh 2)
Austin Waugh has come out at number six, he gets off the mark with a drive to mid off. Three singles and leg-bye come off the 33rd over.
After 32 overs, Australia 157/4 (Jack Edwards 70, )
Turn on first ball. Another dot. More turn on next ball and Edwards’ wild swing gets the outside edge. No slips means four runs. Next one is fuller, and Edwards creams this convincingly through cover. Sharma comes back next ball, beats him on the outside edge. And what’s happened there? A terrible mix-up between Edwards and Uppal means Uppal is run out. Australia are four down.
After 31 overs, Australia 148/3 (Jack Edwards 62, Param Uppal 3)
Malvi’s return has doused whatever little hope Australia was gathering. Great over for India with a wicket and three runs off it.
After 30 overs, Australia 145/2 (Jack Edwards 62, Jonathan Merlo 38)
Expensive over for India with 13 runs coming off it. Australia getting a much-needed impetus.
After 29 overs, Australia 127/2 (Jack Edwards 59, Jonathan Merlo 23)
Roy completes his fourth over conceding just four runs. Edwards has struggled to get the big hits out.
After 28 overs, Australia 127/2 (Jack Edwards 59, Jonathan Merlo 23)
Rana returns to the bowling crease for his third over conceding five singles and a couple off the six balls. Edwards really need to hit the straps. Cannot leave it too late.
After 27 overs, Australia 120/2 (Jack Edwards 55, Jonathan Merlo 20)
Australia finally getting a move on. 13 runs come off the over with the help of couple of big hits.
After 26 overs, Australia 107/2 (Jack Edwards 48, Jonathan Merlo 14)
Five singles come off Abhishek Sharma’s over. He has given very little away, he finds Merlo’s leading edge that fell in no man’s land. Australia lagging behind here.
After 25 overs, Australia 102/2 (Jack Edwards 46, Jonathan Merlo 11)
With the boundary coming off the over, Australia go past 100. Despite the boundary, Anukul’s over only yeilds only six.
After 24 overs, Australia 93/2 (Jack Edwards 45, Jonathan Merlo 6)
Misfield allows Australia to collect three runs off the penultimate ball of the 24th over and a single off the last ball means Edwards to take strike off the next over. Four off Abhishek’s fourth over.
After 23 overs, Australia 89/2 (Jack Edwards 44, Jonathan Merlo 3)
Anukul Roy, another bowler given a chance to roll his arm. He too begins with a three-run over.
