The two unbeaten teams met at the Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Ground in Antigua and Barbuda, with England looking only for their second title, while India extended the record for most tournament victories. Raj Bawa took 5 for 31 as England lost wickets early in their innings, with James Rev try to revived their hopes for their first trophy after 1998 won the Trophy.


England won the toss and chose to bat with their second-highest run-scorer Jacob Bethell alongside George Thomas who had made a courageous 52 in their semi-final win over Afghanistan.

It was an unstable start for Bethel on appeal after withdrawing the catch in the second over, but three balls later he was dismissed for a leg before wicket by Ravi Kumar. Captain Tom Perst finished third, but he went to England as a duck out in the first four balls of the tournament and failed to add to his 292 runs.

Thomas, along with impressive strokes, lost two key wickets in his squad and was relieved to fall at 26 runs. But he too got out before any impact and Yash Dhul got caught in the bowling. Raj Bawa on 27.

James Rew. Raising his hand as England's potential defender and persevering with wickets falling around him, no one in the Young Lions' middle order added more than ten in total as they fell to 91 for seven. With James Sales adding a total of 93 before Sales lost his century badly, it was England's responsibility to work with Reves to keep the innings in the lead.

 

Kaushal Tambe hit 11 sixes off 116 balls with 12 sixes to give England an almost lone battle. Sales stalled at 34 - Bawa took five for 31, England were all out for 189 in 44.5 overs, with Kumar impressing with 34 for almost four.

 

Angkrish Raghuvanshi was ducked for the second ball, failing to become the third highest run scorer in the competition, surpassing Wright Hander Perst.

At the Men in Blue sedate rate, Harnoor Singh managed 21 off 46 balls, which he also trailed. Sheikh Rasheed and Dhul looked to repeat their 204-run partnership against Australia in the semi-finals, with Rasheed scoring fifty off 83 balls.

However, Sales and Rew together again fired the right-handed player with the next delivery. England spotted a tangle in the Indian armor and learned that he had two new batsmen at the crease and gave the catch to George Bell in the next over after the sale.

However, Nishant Sandhu, the highest individual scorer in the tournament with 162 not out, smashed India for 164 for the fifth wicket. The required runs were reduced to 14 off 23 balls and further specialization was needed to beat India.

And with one exception, Rehan Ahmed came forward to stop India at a certain maximum level and ducked Tambe to leave India at 176 for six. But as he was at the crease, England's work always seemed difficult, with he scoring four runs to ease the growing pressure on England before taking a single to bring his first half century in international cricket.

Dinesh Bana is excited to crack a six from his toes to bring the trophy level and bring the trophy into his hands as quickly as possible. Winning and knowing the trophy was theirs, the next ball got another six as Bana's teammates jumped on the pitch before the ball crossed the rope.
