India U19 Vs Australia U19, 3rd Youth ODI: All-Round IND Humble AUS By 167 Runs, Sweep Series 3-0

Middle-order batters Vedant Trivedi and Rahul Kumar hit fifties while left-arm spinner Khilan Patel scalped four wickets as the India Under-19 men's cricket team thrashed Australia Under-19 by a massive 167 runs to complete a clean sweep of the three-match Youth ODI series, in Brisbane on Friday (September 26, 2025).

Vedant (86 off 92 balls) and Rahul's (62 off 84 balls) 99-run partnership for the fourth wicket set the platform for a challenging total of 280 for 9.

Australia were in early trouble, losing three wickets with just 39 runs on the board. With relentless pressure from left-arm pacer Udhav Mohan (3/26) and spinner Khilan Patel (4/26), the home side were bowled out for just 113 runs in 28.3 overs, handing India their biggest win in the three-match series.

They had defeated the hosts by seven wickets and 51 runs in the last two matches.

India did not have a great start with the bat, losing captain Ayush Mhatre for 4 -- his third single-digit score in the series, and the previous game's half-centurion Vaibhav Suryavanshi for 16.

At 36 for two, it was the left-handed Vihaan Malhotra, who batted with caution to score a 52-ball 40 and shared a 69-run partnership with Vedant, who has been one of the standout batters in the series, scoring two half-centuries.

Vedant ensured a healthy run-rate while his partner played circumspectly to guide India through the crucial middle overs. Wicketkeeper-batter Harvansh Pangalia (23) and tail-ender Khilan Patel's unbeaten 19 runs gave India U19 a fighting total.

It turned out to be more than sufficient as the home side went into self-destructive mode, losing wickets at regular intervals with just three batters scoring in double digits.

India's 19-year-old left-arm pacer Udhav Mohan (3/26) demolished the top-order getting rid of opener Alex Lee Young, Steven Hogan and skipper Will Malajczuk in quick succession. Left-arm spinner Khilan then wiped out the middle-order and tail to leave the hosts with their worst defeat in the series.
