The Indian team has won the Under-19 World Cup title for the 5th time, creating history. Team India has defeated the England team by four wickets. Eleven years ago, Mahendra Singh Dhoni had won the World Cup for India by hitting a six at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, and in the same fashion, Dinesh Bana scored a six in the Under-19 World Cup final against England and put the title in India's lap.

India, the most successful team in the history of the tournament, dismissed England for 189 runs in 44.5 overs. Bawa took five for 31 in 9.5 overs while left-arm pacer Ravi Kumar took four for 34. In reply, India achieved the target for the loss of six wickets with 14 balls to spare. India's four wickets fell for 97 at one point and captain Yash Dhul, who scored a century in the semi-final against Australia, was dismissed for 17, but Nishant Sindhu (50 not out in 54 balls) and Bawa (35) scored 67 runs. Got the team out of trouble by sharing

Here are the heroes of India's victory

Raj Bawa, who batted well after taking five wickets, was the architect of India's victory, left-arm pacer Ravi Kumar and fighting half-century Nishant Sindhu. On the basis of his performance, India defeated England by four wickets and won the Under-19 World Cup for the record fifth time. Vice-captain Sheikh Rashid scored 50 runs while performing well in the second consecutive match. In the end, Dinesh Bana hit James Sales for two consecutive sixes to take India to the target in the 48th over itself. From Corona to the other six teams, no one could stop India's Ashwamedhi campaign and once again the most successful team of this tournament has stamped its dominance.

Indian bowlers showed amazing

James Rieu (95) saved England from being reduced to an embarrassing score. India took wickets at regular intervals. Indian bowlers bowled tight throughout the match. For England, Riu and James Sales (34 not out) shared a 93-run partnership for the eighth wicket. The Indian team, captained by Yash Dhul, shocked England in the second over when Ravi dismissed Jacob Bethel (two) cheaply. Despite the initial setback, George Thomas took 14 runs in the next over of Rajvardhan Hungergekar, including one six and two fours. Ravi, once again giving success to India, sent England captain Tom Prest to the pavilion. Prest could not even open the account and England's two wickets went out for 18 runs in the fourth over.

England batsmen could not play big innings

At the other end, Thomas continued with his aggressive batting and hit Ravi for two fours, Hungergekar conceded 19 runs in the first spell, after which Indian captain Dhul changed the bowling. He would have also got success but Kaushal Tambe left the catch of Thomas in the slip off Bawa. England needed a big partnership at this point of time, but it was not being made. Bawa forced Thomas to play a bad shot and the ball went into the hands of Dhul at cover.

Bawa showed his strength

George Bell was caught by Bawa behind the wicket at the hands of Dinesh Bana. After this, Rehan Ahmed caught Tambe at first slip off Bawa. Off-spinner Tambe caught Alex Harton at the hands of Dhul.
