India have beaten Australia in both U19 World Cup finals:
The two cricketing giants in India and Australia have already met twice in the U19 World Cup finals, with India winning on both occasions. The 2012 edition's final saw Unmukt Chand play a captain's knock to help his team hunt down 226 with 4 wickets to spare.
India and Australia again met in 2018 as a stupendous bowling performance restricted the Men in Yellow to 216.
