IND U19 vs PAK U19 Highlights: India has defeated Pakistan by 58 runs. With this, Team India has entered the semi-finals of the Under-19 World Cup 2026. In this match, Pakistan won the toss and chose to bowl first. The Indian team, which came to bat first, could not even play the full 50 overs and was all out for 252 runs. In reply, Pakistan team could score only 194 runs.

England, Australia and Afghanistan had already entered the semi-finals of the World Cup. In such a situation, everyone’s eyes were fixed on the India vs Pakistan match, because the result of this match would decide which would be the fourth team going to the semi-finals.

India proudly in the semi-finals

The Indian team had given a target of 252 runs to Pakistan. Since Pakistan was far behind in net run-rate, they had to achieve this target in 33.3 overs. Usman Khan, captain Farhan Yusuf and opener Hamza Zahoor had at one time increased the heartbeat of Team India, but Pakistan’s lower middle order and tail batsmen flopped badly.

Match winning performance of captain Ayush Mhatre

At one time, Pakistan team had scored 151 runs at the loss of only 2 wickets in the 30th over. Pakistan’s scoreboard was moving at a run rate of more than 5. The Pakistani team was headed towards an easy victory, but then RS Ambris dismissed captain Farhan Yusuf on the score of 38. The trend of the match had changed from here.

Meanwhile, the dangerous spell of captain Ayush Mhatre also started, who did not give the Pakistan team a chance to recover by dismissing Ahmed Hussain after some time. Even after this, Usman Khan was left, but Mhatre dismissed him on the score of 66 and sent him to the pavilion. Mhatre’s dismissal of two consecutive sets of batsmen meant that the match seemed to be in India’s lap. Pakistan’s last 6 wickets fell within just 43 runs.

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 Group 6 of the Under-19 Cricket World Cup 2026 is today between India and Pakistan. Although every match between the teams of the two countries is exciting, but today it is about the semi-finals. Australia and Afghanistan have reached the semi-finals from Group 1. England has confirmed its place in Group 2, now only India and Pakistan are in the race for the last spot. ICC explained that Pakistan will have to win by how many runs or with how many balls remaining, so that it can reach the semi-finals.

In the Under-19 Cricket World Cup, Australia secured the top position from Group 1, Afghanistan remained at second position. England have played their 4 matches from Group 1, after which they have 8 points and a net run rate of +1.757. England is on top. India is at second place, which has played 3 matches and has a net run rate of +3.337 with 6 points. Pakistan is in third place with 4 points, the team’s net run rate is +1.484.

India needs victory to reach semi-finals

If the Indian Under-19 team beats Pakistan today, the team will have 8 points equal to England and will also come first in the points table. In this situation, India will face Afghanistan in the semi-finals. Therefore, India just has to win to reach the semi-finals. However, even after losing, Team India can enter the semi-finals.

Pakistan’s equation

ICC told in its report that Pakistan will have to win by how many runs or with how many balls remaining to reach the semi-finals. If Pakistan bats first then the team will have to win by a margin of 105 or more runs to reach the semi-finals.

If Pakistan team fields first then it will have to achieve the target at a very fast pace. Suppose if Pakistan gets the target of 251 then they will have to achieve it before 29.4 overs.

In the final of Asia Cup held in December last year, Pakistan Under-19 team had defeated Indian Under-19 team by a huge margin of 191 runs.

The last match of Super-6 in Under-19 World Cup 2026 (ICC Under 19 World Cup 2026) will be played between India and Pakistan on 01 February, Sunday. This will be a virtual semi-final for both the teams, but before this match, Pakistan has suffered a big setback. Actually, the team’s star wicketkeeper batsman Mohammad Shayan is out of the tournament due to injury.

Let us tell you that 18 year old Shayan was hit on the nose by a ball while keeping wickets in practice. After this he was immediately taken to the hospital, where a fracture in his nose was confirmed. Now Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has included another player in the squad in place of Shayan. ICC said in a release that permission has been given to add another player to the team in place of Shayan.

This player got a chance

ICC said in its release that the technical committee of the event has approved the inclusion of Abdul Qadir in place of Mohammad Shayan in the Pakistan team. It was further written that after Shayan was out due to a nasal bone fracture during the team’s practice session, Qadir has been included in the team in his place.

ICC permission required

Replacement of a player requires the approval of the Event Technical Committee, only after which the replacement player can be officially included in the team.

Pakistan’s journey so far in the tournament

It is noteworthy that Pakistan has played 4 league matches so far, out of which one match was of Super-6. Pakistan had to start the tournament with a defeat. Pakistan lost the first match by 36 runs. After this, Pakistan registered victories against Scotland, Zimbabwe and New Zealand. Now it will be interesting to see how the Pakistan team performs in the match against India.

In the Under-19 World Cup being played these days, the 12th and last match of Super-6 will be played between India and Pakistan on Sunday, February 01. It is a league match to say the least, but do not consider it less than a final. We are saying this because through this match the tournament will get its fourth semi-finalist team.

So far Australia, England and Afghanistan have qualified for the semi-finals. Now the fourth semi-finalist team will be either India or Pakistan. So let us know how one of the two teams can reach the semi-finals from this match. Team India has a chance to reach the semi-finals even after the defeat, whereas Pakistan will have to register a big win at any cost.

Team India in direct semi-finals with victory

Team India will make it to the semi-finals as soon as it wins the last league match against Pakistan. So far, Men in Blue have won all three out of three matches in Super-6. In this sense, Team India will directly reach the semi-finals after winning the fourth match.

Difficult path for Pakistan

The path to the semi-finals looks very difficult for Pakistan because the team will have to achieve a big win. The net score of the Indian team is +3.337. Whereas Pakistan’s net run rate is +1.484. In this sense, to enter the semi-finals, Pakistan will have to defeat Team India by about 200 runs, which does not seem possible.

It is also worth noting that while Team India has won all three matches in Super-6 so far, Pakistan had to face defeat by 36 runs in one match against England. This was the first match of the Men in Green in Super-6. Now it will be interesting to see who will be the fourth team to reach the semi-finals.

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.”

Pakistan is at third place with 4 points and net run rate of +1.484. By defeating Pakistan on Sunday, Team India will secure its place in the semi-finals, whereas along with winning, Pakistan will also have to make its net run rate higher than India, otherwise even after winning, Pakistan will be out of the tournament.

When and where to watch India vs Pakistan match live

The India vs Pakistan Under-19 World Cup match will be played on Sunday, February 1 at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo. The match will start at 1 pm Indian time. The match will be telecast live on Star Sports and live streaming will be on JioHotstar app and website.

Australia has confirmed its place in the semi-finals of the Under-19 Cricket World Cup 2026. For the other 3 spots, the hopes of 6 teams from both the groups are alive while the journey of 5 teams is officially over. The India vs Pakistan match in Group 2 is very important, which will clear the semi-final situation. Know the equations of both the groups.

The India Under-19 vs Pakistan Under-19 match will be played on Sunday, February 1 at the Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo. Both the teams last faced each other in the final of the Asia Cup, in which Pakistan won. Before this match to be held on 1st February, Pakistan would like New Zealand to defeat England, however, even if this does not happen, Pakistan’s hopes will remain intact.

Group 1 equation

South Africa and Ireland are officially out of the race for the semi-finals. There is only Australia, which has confirmed the ticket for the semi-finals. Australia won all four of its matches and has 8 points. West Indies’ chances are there, but slim. West Indies won 2 out of 4 matches and lost 2, the team has 4 points but the net run rate is in minus (-0.421). He wants Afghanistan and England to lose their matches, even then if the difference of runs is not too big then West Indies will be out.

Sri Lanka vs South Africa match is going on, if Sri Lanka wins then it will get 6 points but if it does not win then it will have to depend on other matches. Afghanistan also has 4 points, it can secure the semi-final ticket by scoring 6 points by defeating Ireland. Afghanistan’s net run rate (+1.020) is better than Sri Lanka (-0.181), so Afghanistan’s chances are higher.

Group 2 equation

New Zealand, Zimbabwe and Bangladesh are out of the race for the semi-finals from this group. India is at the top of the points table after winning 3 matches. England (+1.989) have also won 3 matches, but are behind India (+3.337) in terms of net run rate and are in second place. Pakistan (+1.484) is at number three, having won 2 out of 3 matches and lost 1. There are 3 matches left in this group.

• 30 January- New Zealand vs England
• 31 January- bangladesh vs zimbabwe
• 1 February- india vs pakistan

If New Zealand beats England

In this situation, India’s semi-final ticket will be confirmed, but Pakistan’s expectations will also increase. Pakistan can score 6 points by defeating India, then India, England and Pakistan will have 6 points each. India’s net run rate will be better, but Pakistan will have a chance to get a better run rate than England. Although the entire game will be about net run rate, but this is the easiest possibility for Pakistan.

If England beats New Zealand

If England wins the match on Friday, they will secure their place in the semi-finals with 8 points. Then even if Pakistan wins against India, the net run rate will spoil their game. India’s net run rate is +3.337 while Pakistan’s is +1.484. This means that Pakistan will need a miraculous victory, which seems impossible.

If India beats Pakistan

If the Indian Under-19 team defeats Pakistan, then Pakistan will be directly out of the tournament, then there will be no question of net run rate. Then whether England wins or defeats New Zealand, no matter what the difference in runs is, it will not make any difference.

Everyone is eagerly waiting for the T20 World Cup 2026, which is going to start from 7th February. Sri Lanka is also a co-host along with India, where the India vs Pakistan match is to be held on 15 February. But even before this, the teams of both the countries will play cricket matches among themselves, where star young players like Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Ayush Mhatre will be there.

We are not talking about the clash between the national teams of India and Pakistan, but about the Under-19 World Cup. Here India and Pakistan have entered Super-6 and are in the same group. In the group stage, both were in different groups, hence the match was not played between the two.

When will the India vs Pakistan match take place in the Under-19 World Cup?

India and Pakistan are included in Group 2 in the Under-19 Cricket World Cup. Talking about India’s matches, the next match of the Indian Under-19 team under the captaincy of Ayush Mhatre is with the Zimbabwe Under-19 team. This match will be played on Tuesday, 27 January.

There will be a match between Indian Under-19 and Pakistan Under-19 team on 1st February. This match will be played at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo. India will also have a chance to take revenge for the Under-19 Asia Cup final, where Pakistan defeated India to win the trophy. Sameer Ahmed Minhas of Pakistan played an inning of 172 runs in the final. Although Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s bat did not work in that match, he was out after scoring only 26 runs. Vaibhav has another chance to thrash Pakistan’s bowlers.

In this title match held last Sunday, Vaibhav Suryavanshi (26), Ayush Mhatre (2) could not give a good start to the team, middle order batsmen also flopped. There were several altercations between the players of both the teams during the match. A video after the match is also going viral on social media, in which Pakistani fan is trying to tease Vaibhav Suryavanshi.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi also had a fight on the field in the Under-19 Asia Cup final. Actually, after dismissing Vaibhav, Pakistani bowler Ali Raza had a very aggressive celebration. Ali also said something, in response to which Vaibhav pointed towards his shoes.

Attempt to provoke Vaibhav Suryavanshi

Even after the final match, a video is going viral on social media, in which Vaibhav Suryavanshi is going out with some staff. During this time Pakistani fans are trying to tease and provoke Vaibhav. However, 14 year old Vaibhav showed understanding here and left from there without saying anything. Vaibhav did not react, but ignored them and went away from there.

Pakistan’s fans are acting shamelessly and they have no sense of shame whatsoever.

These people are booing 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi just because Pakistan won a ‘cheap’ U19 Asia Cup. They’re acting like Pakistan won the World Cup.

This is why Pakistani people have no… pic.twitter.com/D1X6lgshr0

Indian batsmen flopped in the final

In this final played at ICC Academy Ground, after winning the toss, Ayush Mhatre decided to bowl first, which proved to be a big mistake. Pakistan scored a huge score of 347 runs for 8 wickets in 50 overs, Sameer Minhas played a brilliant inning of 172 runs in 113 balls. This was the second time that Minhas scored more than 170 runs in this tournament.
