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.

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.
