Till now, both the teams have seen an unbeatable journey in this tournament.Who will get help from the pitch?The final match will be played at Willowmoor Park in Benoni, South Africa, where 5 matches of the tournament have been played so far. In this, while the team chasing the target has won in 3 matches, the team which bowled later in the match has succeeded in winning the match twice. Although all the matches were definitely very exciting. If we talk about the pitch of this ground, the fast bowlers have been seen getting a lot of help here, due to the grass present on the pitch, due to this, something similar can be seen in the final match also. In such a situation, it will definitely be a very difficult task for the batsmen to score runs fast.Till now the team chasing the target has won more matches.If we look at the record of 27 ODI matches played so far at Willowmoor Park, only 8 times the team batting first has won. Apart from this, the team chasing the target in 17 matches has won the match. In such a situation, the role of toss is going to be very important in the Under-19 World Cup final match between India and Australia, in which the winning team would like to decide to bowl first so that it can take advantage of the initial moisture present on the pitch.
