India will lock horns with Pakistan in their last Super Six encounter of the U19 World Cup 2026 at the Queen Sports Club in Bulawayo. That clash will perhaps decide whether two teams or one of them could qualify for the semifinal of the competition. The Indian side, under the leadership of Ayush Mahtre, sits at the top with three wins at a net run rate of +3.337. 

Meanwhile, Pakistan is in third position with two wins in three clashes and one defeat that they faced against England by 37 runs in their opening clash of the campaign. New Zealand, who faced a massive defeat against the Pakistan side, is expected to lose to England, who will the get promoted to the third stage of the round.

That brings the excitement of the clash. For Pakistan, they need a massive win and perhaps will need to put up another strong win just after the recent final victory in the Asia Cup 2025. If India bats first, then the opposition needs to chase down the 200-run target in 28 overs or less.

Know Pakistan’s qualifying scenarios for U19 WC 2026 semifinal

If India sets a target of 250 runs, then Pakistan will be required to complete the run chase within 25 overs. The pressure will be massive when the target goes up to 300, because then they would need to get the runs in 22 overs or less. In terms of putting 350 runs by Mhatre’s side, it will be impossible for the Pakistan team to complete the chase by 19 overs or less.

If Pakistan bats first, then putting 200 runs on the board won’t be enough. They need to win by 118 runs by setting a target of 250. If they add another 50 runs to the total, the cushion will drop by 22 runs. In putting 350 runs, they need to win by 72 or more runs.

The semifinals will take place on February 03 and 04 with the final being scheduled on February 06 at the Harar Sports Club in Harare. The ground will also host the second semifinal while Bulawayo is arranging the first semifinal.

The 2026 ICC Under-19 World Cup began on January 15 with a match between India and USA. A total of 16 teams are taking part in the tournament, which is being played in Zimbabwe and Namibia. The event features some of the best young cricket talents from around the world.

India are the most successful team in Under-19 World Cup history, having won the title five times. Many fans will remember Prithvi Shaw, who led India to victory in the 2018 Under-19 World Cup. Before that, in 2008, a young Indian team led by Virat Kohli won the trophy in Malaysia.

Several current Indian stars first made their mark at the Under-19 World Cup. Players like Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Ravindra Jadeja, Abhishek Sharma, Rishabh Pant, and Kuldeep Yadav announced their arrival on the big stage through this tournament.

While most fans remember these well-known names, here is a list of five Indian players you may not know who also once represented India in the Under-19 World Cup.

1. Arshdeep Singh

India’s highest wicket-taker in T20I cricket, Arshdeep Singh, was part of India’s Under-19 World Cup–winning team in 2018. The team was led by Prithvi Shaw, and the tournament was held in New Zealand.

Arshdeep played two matches in the competition and took three wickets. He bowled with great control and had an economy rate of just two runs per over. At the time, most of the attention was on fast bowlers Kamlesh Nagarkoti and Shivam Mavi, who regularly touched 140 kmph, but Arshdeep was also part of the same strong pace group.

2. Shreyas Iyer

Shreyas Iyer represented India in the ICC Under-19 World Cup 2014, which was hosted by the UAE. India finished fifth, while South Africa won the tournament.

Iyer played three matches and scored 161 runs at a strike rate of 105.22. The spotlight was mainly on players like Sanju Samson, Kuldeep Yadav, Sarfaraz Khan, and Deepak Hooda, but Iyer made good use of his chances. He is now the vice-captain of India’s ODI team.

3. KL Rahul

KL Rahul, who is now known for handling pressure at the senior level, played in the Under-19 World Cup 2010. He batted at number three for India.

The team was led by Ashok Menaria, with Akshath Reddy and Mayank Agarwal opening the batting. India finished sixth after losing to South Africa in the fifth-place play-off. Rahul scored 143 runs in six innings at a strike rate of under 70.

4. Cheteshwar Pujara

Former India batter Cheteshwar Pujara was the backbone of the Test team for many years. While he is known as a red-ball specialist, not many fans know that he was the top scorer in the Under-19 World Cup 2006.

Pujara scored 349 runs in six matches, averaging 116.33 with a strike rate of 82.11. Despite such a strong record at the youth level, he played only five ODIs for India in his senior career.

5. Stuart Binny

Stuart Binny, who once held the record for the best bowling figures by an Indian in ODIs, played in the Under-19 World Cup 2002.

The pace-bowling all-rounder featured in six matches, scoring 34 runs and taking four wickets. He made his senior India debut 12 years later and produced a memorable spell of 6/4 against Bangladesh in an ODI in 2014.

Sri Lanka Cricket has officially announced a 15-member squad for the ICC Under-19 Men’s Cricket World Cup 2026, scheduled to be held in Namibia and Zimbabwe from January 15 to February 6. The tournament represents a crucial stage for young cricketers to announce themselves on the global platform and build pathways into senior international cricket.

Royal College, Colombo batter Vimath Dinsara has been entrusted with the captaincy, while Kavija Gamage of Kingswood College will serve as vice-captain. The leadership pairing underlines Sri Lanka Cricket’s emphasis on composure, tactical awareness, and youth-driven responsibility at the age-group level.

The selected squad brings together players from leading schools across the island, forming a well-rounded unit with balance across departments. Promising batters such as Dinsara, Gamage, and Dimantha Mahavithana provide solidity at the top, while versatile all-rounders like Viran Chamuditha and Chamika Heentigala add depth and flexibility. The bowling group offers variety in pace and spin, an important factor given the diverse conditions expected in southern Africa.

Sri Lanka eye strong start in tough Group A as young Lions target historic U19 World Cup breakthrough

Sri Lanka U19 are scheduled to depart for Namibia on January 1, allowing ample time for acclimatisation and focused preparation. Early arrival is expected to help the side adjust to pitches, climate, and playing conditions before competitive action begins.

Placed in Group A, Sri Lanka will open their campaign against Japan on January 17 in Windhoek, followed by matches against Ireland on January 19 and defending champions Australia on January 23, all at the same venue. The group stage will test both skill and temperament, especially against strong opposition.

Sri Lanka reached the Super Six stage in the previous edition held in South Africa and will be eager to go further this time. With lessons learned from a mixed 2025 season and a fresh opportunity ahead, the young Lions will aim to push strongly toward their maiden Under-19 World Cup title.

Sri Lanka squad: Vimath Dinsara, Kavija Gamage, Dimantha Mahavithana, Viran Chamuditha, Dulnith Sigera, Chamika Heentigala, Adam Hilmy, Chamarindu Nethsara, Sethmika Seneviratne, Kugathas Mathulan, Rasith Nimsara, Vigneshwaran Akash, Jeewantha Sriram, Senuja Wekunagoda, Malintha Silva

Zimbabwe’s preparations for the ICC Under-19 Men’s Cricket World Cup 2026 will intensify over the festive period as they host Afghanistan and Pakistan in a Youth One-Day International tri-series in Harare.

The triangular tournament forms a crucial part of Zimbabwe’s build-up to the global event, which the country will co-host alongside Namibia from 15 January to 6 February 2026. With the World Cup being staged on home soil, the series offers valuable match exposure for Zimbabwe’s young cricketers against strong opposition.

U19 tri-series to begin on Christmas Day as Zimbabwe fine-tune World Cup preparations

Zimbabwe Cricket Managing Director Givemore Makoni confirmed the series, describing it as a vital step in the team’s final preparations. “This tri-series is a key part of our final preparations for the ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup,” Makoni said. “Playing against strong Under-19 teams like Afghanistan and Pakistan will give our players the quality match experience they need ahead of a major global event on home soil.”

The action begins on Christmas Day (25 December), with hosts Zimbabwe taking on Afghanistan at Harare Sports Club. Afghanistan will then face Pakistan on 27 December at the same venue.

Under-19 Tri-Series Schedule

PAKU19 vs AUSU19 Match Preview

It is the second semifinal of the ICC Under-19 World Cup 2024. Australia U19 will face Pakistan U19 in this game, to advance to the final against India. Rain hampered Australia’s last game against the West Indies, resulting in a draw. Pakistan defeated Bangladesh in their last game and has gained momentum. Both teams have not lost a game in this tournament, so we anticipate a close game here. The Pakistanis have performed well in most games, but this will be the most difficult challenge for the team. Their batting has been inconsistent. The Australians will enjoy the bowling conditions, and it will be interesting to see if Pakistan can beat them.

The Indians have done well, coming here after an impressive victory over Nepal in their last Super Six match. The South Africans won by a large margin against Sri Lanka, and the team will be confident. The Indians have yet to lose a game in the tournament, and their players are in good form. They’ve made the finals in the last four tournaments, which will boost morale in the camp.
