Australian players to watch out in U19 World Cup final
Australia’s skipper, Hugh Weibgen, has been their anchor in the tournament. He began the tournament with a brisk 39* from 43, which helped close out a risky chase against Namibia.
A solid 68 from 69 balls assisted Harry Dixon in the second game versus Zimbabwe. He failed to get going in the third game but opened the Super Six with a stroke-filled 120 against England. He hit 15 fours in a knock that saw him bat for over three hours. This hundred laid the foundation for a massive Australian win.
Besides impressing with the bat, Weibgen has been an active captain on the field. He has been smart with his bowling changes and overall leadership.

Musheer Khan has been a revelation for India in the tournament so far. With 334 runs at an impressive strike rate of 103.72, he is the second-highest run-getter in the U19 World Cup 2024. Beyond his batting prowess, Khan has also proved handy with the ball, scalping four wickets at an economy rate of 3.01.
India's charismatic captain, Uday Saharan, has been phenomenal with the bat as well. With his 124-ball 81, Saharan not only piped his countryman Musheer to become the highest run-getter in the tournament but also helped India seal a spot in the final for the 9th time.
It has been hard to keep Saumy Pandey out of any game in the tournament, with the left-arm spinner bagging at least three wickets in four of the five games so far.
