India captain, Ayush Mhatre: "I can't express my feelings but it's a memorable night for us. The boys have played really well. What goals we set, they executed very well. They played their natural game so I am very happy. [On Sooryavanshi] We have no words for his innings. We know he is a fabulous batsman and he's shown in this match what he can do. We just wanted to carry forward the legacy. Rohit Sharma won the World Cup, Harmanpreet also and now we have won it. No words for the support staff, they way they have hustled for the last many months." Caps off the speech by thanking the fans watching at home, and a message that "keep supporting us like this, we'll keep winning you trophies."

England’s 311 all-out is the joint-highest total while batting second in U19 WC, alongside India’s 311/3 in their successful run-chase against Afghanistan in the semifinal on Wednesday.
