They have reached their second final riding on some dominating performance, barring the semi-final match against Afghanistan where they had to hold on to their nerves to earn a hard-fought victory. Nonetheless, the English boys are unbeaten in the tournament so far.

On the other hand, for India, it is more about preserving the legacy than looking at the final just as an opportunity to bag a title. They have record four U-19 World Cup titles to their name with the upcoming game against England being their 8th appearance in final of the event, which is also the most by any team. Meanwhile, they play a U-19 World Cup final for the fourth consecutive time.
Angkrish Raghuvanshi is the leading run-scorer for the Indian team with 278 runs, while the likes of Raj Bawa and captain Yash Dhull have been equally impressive. Vicky Ostwal has picked up 12 wickets with an economy of 3.39.
