2018 final is a great opportunity for India to bag its fourth Under-19 World Cup. With three titles, Australia is also tied with India as the most successful team and eye the prized fourth trophy. If Prithvi Shaw manages to win the current edition, he will join the illustrious list of Indian captains who won under-19 World Cups. They are Mohammad Kaif (2000), Virat Kohli (2008) and Unmukt Chand (2012). Not just as captain, Shaw has proved himself as a fine player in the tournament. He would be keen to continue the winning run at the last stage of the prestigious tournament.

As an unbeaten side in the competition, India will definitely begin the match as favourites. Their thumping victory against Pakistan in the semi-final showcased their hunger for success. With Shubham Gill leading batsmen and a lethal bowling attack, Rahul Dravid and Prithvi Shaw would hope the side to put on another terrific performance in the finals. After all, their opponents are no new side on the block.

Australia who after facing a crushing defeat against India in the first match of ICC World Cup 2018 regrouped themselves to win four matches on a trot and make to finals. They brushed aside challenge from Afghanistan, a relatively inexperienced side comfortably in their semi-finals outing. Skipper Sangha will hope his boys would put their foot on peddle when facing India and cross the final hurdle. Despite India enjoying a slight advantage, the match can go either way and this is what makes India vs Australia a mouth-watering clash.
