India clinched the Under 19 Cricket World Cup title for a record fifth time.
The side defeated England by four wickets.
James Rew hit a magnificent 95 but England’s batting let them down.
Rew’s knock, off 116 balls including 12 fours, helped England recover from an early collapse to post 189 all out as India seamers Raj Bawa and Ravi Kumar wreaked havoc.
