ICC World Test Championship Final: Pacers Raj Limbani and Naman Tiwari shared five wickets between them as India U19 restricted their Australian counterparts to 253/7 thanks to a fighting half-century by middle-order batter Harjas Singh in the final of the ICC Men's U19 Cricket World Cup here on Sunday.

Harjas struck a 64-ball 55 and near half-centuries by opener Harry Dixon (42), skipper Hugh Weibgen (48) and Oliver Peake (46 not out) helped Australia U19 reach 253/7 in 50 overs, the highest-ever total in a U19 World Cup final. Raj Limbani starred for India with 3-38 while Naman Tiwari bagged 3-63 as India applied breaks to the Australian innings at appropriate moments.

India went into the match unchanged while Australia U19 brought in Charlie Anderson for Tom Campbell in the lone change since their semifinal win over Pakistan.
