In this, while the team chasing the target has won in 3 matches, the team which bowled later in the match has succeeded in winning the match twice. Although all the matches were definitely very exciting. If we talk about the pitch of this ground, the fast bowlers have been seen getting a lot of help here, due to the grass present on the pitch, due to this, something similar can be seen in the final match also.

In such a situation, the role of toss is going to be very important in the Under-19 World Cup final match between India and Australia, in which the winning team would like to decide to bowl first so that it can take advantage of the initial moisture present on the pitch.
