Vaibhav Suryavanshi got out after a good start after scoring 30 runs against Pakistan in the Under-19 World Cup. He got two lives together on the last ball from the wicket. His easy catch was missed by the Pakistani fielder, then he was also run out on the same ball. But Vaibhav could not take advantage of this, he got out after playing an irresponsible shot on the very next ball.

Two lives were given on the same ball

Vaibhav Suryavanshi was playing after scoring 30 runs in 20 balls. Mohammad Sayam bowled a short pitch on the third ball of the 8th over, on which Vaibhav hit a pull shot but the ball hit the upper part of the bat and went only high. Huzaifa, standing at short mid-wicket, came under the ball, it was an easy catch for him but he missed it.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi ran to score runs on this ball, but when non-striker Aaron George refused, Vaibhav had to return. After dropping the catch, the fielder hit the ball on the wicket, but there was no wicketkeeper there and the fielder could not even hit the throw directly. In this way Vaibhav got life twice on the same ball. But on the very next ball, he was out while trying to hit a similar shot.

Hell this is!!!

Lost 3 wickets at the score of 47

Vaibhav Suryavanshi went to hit a similar shot on the fourth ball of the 8th over, but the ball hit the bat and went to the wicketkeeper. Vaibhav Suryavanshi scored 30 runs in 22 balls with the help of 1 six and 5 fours. On the last ball of the same over, Syam also sent Indian captain Ayush Mhatre to the pavilion.

On the first ball of the next over, Abdul Subhan bowled Aaron George and took India’s third wicket. While on one hand India had no wickets at 47, on the other hand the third wicket also fell at the score of 47. If India wins today, they will reach the semi-finals of the Under-19 World Cup, where they will have a match with Afghanistan. However, just winning will not be enough for Pakistan, they need to win by a big margin to make the net run rate better than India.

An important match is being played between India and Pakistan today in the Under-19 Cricket World Cup. Australia, Afghanistan and England have confirmed their places in the semi-finals, now India and Pakistan are in the race for the fourth spot. Pakistan captain Farhan Yusuf has won the toss and decided to bowl first.

If Team India, captained by Ayush Mhatre, defeats Pakistan today, then it will come at number-1 in the points table of Group 2 of Super-6. In this situation, India vs Afghanistan match will be held in the semi-finals of Under-19 World Cup. The second semi-final will be between England and Australia.

However, even if Team India does not lose by a big margin, it will reach the semi-finals but then the team will have to face Australia in the semi-finals.

Ayush Mhatre did not shake hands with Pakistani captain

‘No handshake’ continued in this match of Under-19 World Cup also. Indian captain Ayush Mhatre did not shake hands with Pakistani captain Farhan Yusuf during the toss. Earlier, when the teams faced each other in the Under-19 Asia Cup, the same thing had happened.

‘No handshake’ started from the international match, when Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav did not shake hands with the Pakistani captain during the Asia Cup 2025. In that edition, the teams faced each other three times, but there was no handshake between the two all three times. Even after the match, Indian players did not shake hands with Pakistani players. Actually this was a way of protesting against the Pahalgam attack.

How can Pakistan reach the semi-finals?

Of course, Pakistan team can reach the semi-finals of Under-19 World Cup, but it is very difficult. Team India is batting first, in such a situation Pakistan team should stop the Indian team within 250. Even then Pakistan would need to achieve the target of 250 in 25 overs.

The last match of Super-6 in Under-19 World Cup 2026 is between India and Pakistan. This match is also important because the hopes of both the teams to reach the semi-finals are alive. Australia and Afghanistan teams from Group 1 have confirmed their places in the semi-finals. England has reached the semi-finals from Group 2, now there is a competition between India and Pakistan from this group. Before this match, Sachin Tendulkar, known as the God of Cricket, spoke to the Indian Under-19 players on video call.

BCCI gave this information by sharing photos. Sachin Tendulkar spoke to all the players through video call, telling them how to keep themselves prepared in this high pressure game. Of course, the Indian Under-19 team has Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Ayush Mhatre, who can destroy any bowling with their explosive batting, but one mistake can cost the team dearly. Just about a month ago, Pakistan had defeated India in the Under-19 Asia Cup final, so now the team would like to avoid any kind of carelessness.

Sachin Tendulkar gave Gurumantra to young players

It was told by BCCI that Sachin Tendulkar shared his experiences with the young players. Sachin told the players about the things necessary for success and long-term survival in the ever-changing game. BCCI wrote in its post, “It was not just about technical skills and staying fit, but also about the importance of being focused, disciplined, humble and down to earth to be successful.”
