Musheer Khan’s dismissal ended his 2024 Under-19 World Cup campaign in South Africa with 360 runs to his name. The 18-year-old star all-rounder tallied his runs in just seven innings while maintaining a splendid average of 60, with two match-winning centuries to his name.

Earlier in the match, Australia amassed 253-7 off their 50 overs off the back of some handy runs in the death from Oliver Peake and some middle-overs dexterity from Hugh Weibgen and Harjas Singh.

In response, India Under-19 lost opener Arshin Kulkarni for just three before young Musheer was left stunned by Beardman in a crunch run-chase.
