There will be a lot of expectations from opener Harnoor Singh, Delhi batsman and captain Yash, Sheikh Rashid, and fast bowler Rajvardhan Hungergekar. Harnoor has even scored a hundred in the practice match.
Australia
Three-time champion Australia is the second strong contender. She has reached the last-4 eight times. The last time Australia won the Under 19 World Cup title was in 2010 when the team had Mitchell Marsh, Japa, Hazlewood.
Bangladesh
Bangladesh created history by winning the Under 19 Cricket World Cup title last year and they would like to repeat it. Captain Rakibul Hasan was a member of the team that won the title in South Africa.
Pakistan
Having reached the final five times, Pakistan last won the title in 2006 when Sarfaraz Ahmed, Wahab Riaz, and Imad Wasim were part of the team. Shaheen Afridi shone from the 2018 World Cup itself.
