Australia wins under-19 World Cup by beating Pakistan by 25 runs
Melbourne: Australia beat Pakistan by 25 runs to lift the under-19
World Cup in New Zealand. The star for Australia was fast bowler Josh Hazelwood
who took 4-30, including the final wicket of Raza Hasan. Josh was declared
man-of-the-match
after his side was forced to defend a lowly 207. Luke Doran contributed 3-32 as
Pakistan was dismissed for 182 with 20 balls remaining, FOX Sports reports. Earlier
in the day, Australia had suffered an early collapse to find themselves at 3-23
after captain Mitchell Marsh was dismissed. A solid middle-order effort, including
44 from Kane Richardson, allowed Australia to set a competitive target for Pakistan
and one they were ultimately able to defend.
