 put them in to bat. Australia got a wicket in the third over, as Chris Thompson dismissed Ali Murtaza for 1, but three wides and three no-balls saw him taken off after four overs, substituted for Jack McNamara. India lost wickets regularly, but kept up a good run rate until Piyush Chawla was caught and bowled off Patrick Darwen for the top score of the innings, with 55. The next partnership yielded only 31 runs from 7 overs, before Jackson Bird ran through them and had three people caught off his bowling. India U-19s closed on 230 all out, and Australia didn't waste any time chasing it. Their openers, Graeme Skennar and Tom Cooper, took 68 balls to get the 100 partnership up, and added a further 18 before Skennar was caught and bowled by Chawla for 64 - including seven fours and four sixes. Aaron Finch and Tom Cooper slowed down a little, before both were dismissed within six balls with no one adding to the score in the meantime, but 42 from Moises Henriques calmed the nerves and eventually Australia cruised to the target with 15 overs to spare.
