Cricket World cup Under 19

Tomorrow sees the final of the cricket under 19 World Cup in Christchurch. To of the form teams in the tournament will play in the final at Lincoln Uni Oval. Australia will take on Pakistan. Both sides have had a strong showing at this tournament.
Australia made the final on the back of some brilliant batting of Mitchell Marsh and some fine bowling of Josh Hazelwood. Pakistan will rely heavily on their spinners Usman Qadir and Razza Hassan.
Pakistan are the only country to have won back to back titles, 2004 and 2006. Australia have also won it twice in 1988 (v Pakistan) and 2002 (v South Africa).
The tournament last played here in New Zealand in 2002, has been a huge success.
The match starts at 1030 local time.
