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.

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.

Good Beginning of the Tournament
It was held in Malaysia, and India played within Group A. Their matches were against West Indies, Malaysia, and Sri Lanka.
The first match for India was very successful. They defeated West Indies on January 19, 2025.
Second Match: Against Malaysia on January 21, left-arm spinner Vaishnavi Sharma was a star with 5 wickets for just 5 runs, which included a hat-trick. This helped India to dismiss Malaysia for 31 runs and win by 10 wickets.
Third Match: India played against Sri Lanka on 23rd January. Opener Gongadi Trisha made a sparkling knock of 49 runs and India reached a total of 118/9. Then the bowlers enforced a total restriction over Sri Lanka, bringing down them to 58/9; so in fact, India won by 60 runs. Also, they ended that as group topper in Group A

Their middle-order batsmen have struggled, and the team will need a strong performance from both them and the new ball bowlers to win. The Indians have been on a roll, and their batting order has annihilated opponents. With the bowlers playing a complementary role, they will begin favorites here. Considering the team combination, India U19 is expected to win this match.

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.
