Liam Hatcher took 6 for 27 to demolish England U-19s for 99 as Australia took a 2-1 lead in the one-day series with one match remaining.
Hatcher ran through England's middle order at Grace Road with Jack Burnham's 21 being the top score in a paltry effort. They were 76 for 9 before a last-wicket stand of 23 nearly pushed them to three figures.
Australia lost Caleb Jewell to a run out off the first ball of the chase and slipped to 9 for 2 Will Pucovski was lbw, but Matt Renshaw's unbeaten 39 ensured there were few other worries as they cantered to the target in the 21st over.
Australia had chosen to bowl first and were soon marking inroads as Jhye Richardson removed England's openers, including the in-from Dan Lawrence, inside the first seven overs.
It was then over to Hatcher who had Haseeb Hameed caught behind then bowled captain Aneurin Donald for 4 third ball. Burham's 21 included five boundaries before he was also bowled. Nine of the England batsmen were dismissed with barely half the overs used when Hatcher claimed George Garton and Mason Crane in consecutive deliveries.
