The ICC Under-19 World Cup Super Six match between India and Zimbabwe showed that Vaibhav Sooryavanshi had advanced his status as a rising cricket player through his aggressive batting performance which included multiple boundary hits. 

The 14-year-old southpaw started his opening batting when he attacked Zimbabwe bowlers during their Powerplay overs. Sooryavanshi scored most of his runs through clean hitting and intelligent shot selection as India reached 99 runs for 1 wicket after their first ten overs. The batsman reached his half-century mark after facing only 24 balls, which tied him with his captain Ayush Mhatre for the second-fastest fifty record in the tournament.

Sooryavanshi shines with quick fifty as India stay in control

Sooryavanshi executed his innings through a combination of aggressive play and controlled batting. He hit every delivery which he saw as overpitching while he controlled all short balls through powerful hits and he achieved successful batting through controlled movement during fielding break periods. His 52 came off 30 deliveries and included eight boundaries - four fours and four sixes - which showed his capacity to defeat bowlers through skillful hits instead of dangerous swinging techniques.

Ayush Mhatre supported his partner by helping India keep their momentum during the match as Zimbabwe attempted to regain control after they gained permission to position four players outside the fielding circle. The pair maintained enough scoring speed for India to remain above the necessary run rate.

Sooryavanshi left the match during the 12th over when he tried to hit the ball over mid-off but instead threw the ball to the fielder who caught it to give Tatenda Chimugoro his wicket. The opposing team had already sustained major damage from his actions before they managed to dismiss him.

This represents Sooryavanshi's second tournament half-century after he scored 72 runs against Bangladesh. He has scored 166 runs this season with a batting average of 41.50 and a strike rate of 133.87 which currently makes him India's top run scorer while he remains one of the best players in the Under-19 World Cup.

Zimbabwe Under-19 will take on India Under-19 in Super Six Match 6 of the U19 World Cup 2026 at the Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo, on Tuesday, January 27.

Zimbabwe U19 had a difficult group stage, where they failed to register a win, with two losses and one abandoned match. The hosts will now look to start fresh in the Super Six stage and put up a stronger fight against a confident Indian side. Playing at home, Zimbabwe will hope their young players step up and deliver a competitive performance.

India U19, meanwhile, have enjoyed a perfect run so far in the tournament. They won all their group matches against the USA, Bangladesh, and New Zealand. Looking ahead to the Super Six, the Indian team will look to carry on the momentum of winning and increase their chances of going deep into the tournament with another all-round performance.

ZIM U19 vs IND U19: Pitch Report

The surface at Queens Sports Club usually offers good help to fast bowlers, especially early in the innings. Batters have to be careful in the beginning because the ball tends to move around. Once they get a settled position, it becomes easier to score, and those players who get a chance to spend time in the middle can develop good partnerships.

India U19 take on New Zealand U19 in Match 24 of the U19 World Cup 2026 at the Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo, on Saturday, January 24. India have already sealed their place in the next round and look to keep up the good run in this tournament.

The Ayush Mhatre-led Indian side has looked confident so far in this tournament. They got their campaign underway with a solid six-wicket win over USA U19 using the DLS method and then added another solid 18-run DLS victory against Bangladesh U19 too. The Ayush Mhatre-led Indian side will hope to keep their winning momentum going to end their campaign in style.

On the other hand, New Zealand had a disappointing start. Both of their matches so far, against USA U19 and Bangladesh U19, were abandoned due to rain. Currently placed second in Group B, the young Black Caps will be hoping for a full game and a chance to post their first win of the tournament.

In a close encounter between India and Bangladesh at the Under-19 World Cup 2026 at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo, India’s upcoming star, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, impressed with a sensational catch to dismiss Samiun Basir Ratul on two runs in the bowling of Vihaan Malhotra, which pushed the momentum in India’s favor after rain curtailed the encounter.

It was a well-timed chip drive from the batter as it nearly soared over the long run region where the Indian opening batter, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, was just in front of the ropes and took the catch sideways, but the question was whether his left leg then touched the advertisement board. He realized it as well and locked the ball up before going out and coming back to claim the rebound.

This was a massive decision from the 3rd umpire, who took several looks at it and finally gave the decision in India’s favor. The Indian side was up in joy as a celebration told the story of how the big wicked nearly took them over the line in the game.

Vaibhav Suyavanshi grabs special catch in India vs Bangladesh U19 WC 2026

Earlier in the game, Vaibhav Surya Manchi smashed a fine knockoff 72 runs in 67 deliveries at a strike rate of more than 100 with the help of six boundaries and three sixes as his knock set the platform for the Blue Brigade as he put up a partnership 62 runs for the 4th wicket with a weekend Kundu who drilled 80 shouldering on four boundaries and three sixes.

However, apart from those two, the other Indian batters struggled to get their hitting as they got bundled out for 238 runs in 48.4 overs, with Al Fahad celebrating his five-wicket haul in 9.2 overs at an economic rate of just over four.

The rain brought down the target to 165 for Bangladesh in 29 overs before they got bundled out for 146 with their number three batter, Hakim Tamim, smashing 51 runs in 72 balls, but that was not enough to chase down the target, as Malhotra ended with 4/14.

Brief Scores: India U19 238 (Abigyan Kundu 80, Vaibhav Suryavanshi 72, Al Fahad 5/38) beat Bangaldesh U19 146 (Hakim Tamim 51, Vihaan Malhotra 4/14) by 18 runs (DLS). 

A bad in the field for the young explosive batter Vaibhav Suryavanshi. Today (January 15), India was up against the USA for the opening match of the U-19 World Cup 2026 tournament. Suryavanshi walked onto the pitch with a lot of expectations but ended up being bowled out. USA pacer Ritvik Reddy Appidi shattered all three stumps of the Indian opener. Suryavanshi marched off the field after facing 4 balls and scoring 2 runs only.

In the ongoing U-19 World Cup 2026, Team India is one of the front runners on paper in the title race as the team have a bunch of immensly talented batters and bowlers. At the Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo, in Zimbabwe, the U-19 Indian team started the first innings full of confidence, as the pace bowlers were thriving on the field with the new ball.

Keeping an eye on the weather, India U-19 captain Ayush Mhatre decided to field first after winning the toss. Mhatre's decision to bowl first was on point. The Indian pacers did a splendid job with the new ball, restricting the USA Under-19 cricket team to only 107 runs for 10 wickets in 35.2 overs. Henil Patel, who claimed a 5-wicket figure, was the best bowler of the match. Patel, with his well-controlled bowling, cleaned up half of the USA batting order single-handedly in his 7-over spell for an economy rate of 2.29.

The target of 108 for India in 50 overs was within the grip of the Indian batting order, especially when the team had two explosive batters, Ayush Mhatre and Vaibhav Suryavanshi, as the opening pair. In this match, Suryavanshi had the opportunity to break Virat Kohli's record in the age group cricket. But he missed the opportunity.

It was an upset moment for India when the umpires declared the match suspended. The match paused when India was batting on 21 for 1 after first 4 overs of the second innings. Continuous rain did not allow the match to proceed further.

India’s rising star Vaibhav Suryavanshi is close to a major milestone in the Under-19 World Cup 2026. The 14-year-old needs just six runs to go past former India captain Virat Kohli in the list of India’s highest run-scorers in Youth ODIs. Kohli had scored 978 runs in 28 matches at an average of 46.57, with one century and six half-centuries.

Vaibhav has already scored 973 runs in just 18 Youth ODI matches at an impressive average of 54.05. He has hit three centuries and four half-centuries, with a strike rate of 164.08. He also needs only 27 more runs to complete 1,000 runs in Youth ODI cricket and could become the seventh Indian batter to reach the mark.

Over the last year, Vaibhav has made headlines with his attacking batting in age-group cricket. He has impressed in the IPL, India A, and the India Under-19 team. With the Under-19 World Cup starting today in Zimbabwe and Namibia, he has a big chance on the opening day to break another important record.

Sooryavanshi’s recent form

The 14-year-old has been in good form in recent matches. He scored a massive 190 in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025–26 game against Arunachal Pradesh. He then led India in the warm-up series against South Africa. After scoring 11 in the first match, he made 68 in the second game and followed it up with a brilliant 127 in the final. In the World Cup warm-up match against Scotland, he hit a quick 96 but was dismissed for one run against England.

India to face the USA in the opening game of the U19 World Cup

India are placed in Group A along with the USA, Bangladesh and New Zealand. All matches will be played at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo. India will begin their campaign on January 15, face Bangladesh on January 17, and play New Zealand a week later.

The U19 World Cup 2026 will kick off with an interesting contest between the USA U19 and India U19 teams in Match 1, which will take place at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo on Thursday, 15 January. Both teams would be looking to begin the tournament on a positive note.

USA U19 comes into this match having lost their warm-up game against Pakistan U19. Though the result did not go in their favour, it would be a good enough experience for the team to put up a better performance in their opening match of the World Cup. Certainly, a good start is what they need to gain confidence early in the tournament.

India U19 are considered one of the favourites to win the title. Even though they lost their final warm-up match against England U19, their overall form has been impressive. They have lost only one of their last ten matches and have a strong batting unit. India also beat USA U19 comfortably in their only previous meeting and will aim to repeat a similar performance.

The two teams have met only once before. In that match, India U19 won by 201 runs.

USA U19 vs IND U19: Pitch Report

The pitch at Queens Sports Club is expected to help fast bowlers, especially early in the match. The ball can move around, so batters will need to be careful at the start. As the match progresses, scoring becomes easier. Teams winning the toss may prefer to bowl first.

U19 World Cup 2026: Schedule

The upcoming superstar opening batter of the Indian side, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, started 2026 with a bang as he smashed a cracking half-century during the second youth ODI of the three-match series against South Africa Under-19 at the Willowmoore Park in Benoni. In the absence of Captain Ayush Matre, the Bihar-born has been leading the site in the three games.

Suryavanshi celebrated his half-century in just 15 balls, blowing the wind out of South Africa’s bowling attack and recording the fastest-ever fifty in a youth ODI. India’s left-handed opening batter was eventually dismissed on 68 runs in 24 balls, which saw nailing one boundary and ten sixes. He hopes to continue the attacking betting in the upcoming Under-19 World Cup 2026.

With this knock, Suryavanshi broke Rishabh Pant’s record of the fastest fifty in a U-19 Youth ODI, as the Delhi batter had the record in his name of just 18 balls in the 2016 season of the Under-19 World Cup against Nepal in Dhaka. It’s quite surprising that it took so many games for the aggressive Suryavanshi to break Pant’s record.

Vaibhav Suryvanshi breaks Rishabh Pant’s record of most sixes

The ongoing series presents a fine opportunity for both India and South Africa to prepare for the upcoming Under-19 World Cup, which is set to begin on January 15, as India is placed in Group B alongside the United States of America (USA), Bangladesh, and New Zealand. They will open their campaign against the USA at the Queen’s Sports Club in Bulawayo.

South Africa posted 245 runs to get bundled out ahead of their 50 overs as their number four batter, Jason Rowles, cracked a fine knock of 114 runs at a strike rate of 100.88, thanks to seven boundaries and three sixes, before India completed the successful chase by eight wickets in the DLS method and claimed the series victory.

Brief Scores: India U-19 176/2 (Vaibhav Suryavanshi 68, Abhigyan Kundu 48*, Micheal Kruiskamp 2/23) beat South Africa U-19 245 (Jason Rowles 114, Kishan Singh 4/46) by eight wickets (DLS method).  

Visitors India U19 secure the three-match Youth ODI series against the hosts South Africa U19 on Monday (January 5), after claiming an eight-wicket win in the revised target chase in the second game of the series. India U19 have produced some strong performances just ahead of the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup 2026, which Zimbabwe and Namibia will host between January 15 and February 6, 2026. 

Trailing the series by 1-0, the hosts chose to bat first. While South Africa U19 scored 245 all out in 49.3 overs, India U19 chased down the final revised target of 174 runs after losing two wickets with 21 balls remaining. 

Kishan Singh shone with the ball for India U19

The no.4 batter Jason Rowles slammed a century in the first innings, which played a huge role for South Africa U19 to manage a good total, as only two more home batters managed to score 20+ runs in that innings. While Rowles scored 114 off 113 balls with seven fours and three sixes, opener Adnaan Lagadien (25) and Daniel Bosman (31) managed to score some crucial runs. 

Among the Indian bowlers, the left-arm pacer Kishan Singh got four wickets with the bowling figures of 8.3-1-46-4, the right-arm medium pacer RS Ambrish picked up two wickets (8-0-47-2). 

Skipper Vaibhav Suryavanshi slammed 10 sixes to score 68 runs

In chase, captain Vaibhav Suryavanshi recorded a 19-ball half-century, as the southpaw scored 68 runs off 24 balls with the help of one four and 10 sixes. Later, India U19 got the revised target of 230 runs in 42 overs, which was once again reduced to 174 runs target in 27 overs. 

While the other Indian opener Aaron George scored 20 runs, Vedant Trivedi and Abhigyan Kundu remained not out with 31 runs and 48 runs, respectively. India U19 comfortably won the game by eight wickets to secure the series with one match yet to be played.
