India is playing its record 10th U19 WC final in what has been an absolute team effort, while England's campaign has been driven by batters Ben Mayes and Thomas Rew, pacer Manny Lumsden and left-arm orthodox spinner Ralphie Albert.
Opting to bat first in the must-win game, England U19 captain Thomas Rew led his team with a big knock of 110 runs. He completed his ton with a single in the 39th over. His knock included 14 fours and one six.
Ben Mayes wrote himself into history books by registering the highest individual score by an England batter at the ICC Under-19 Men's Cricket World Cup after smashing 191 off just 117 balls against Scotland on Wednesday in Harare.
