All done with the pre-match rituals and it is time for the Grand Finale to get underway in Harare. Thomas Rew leads his boys out to the middle as the English players spread to the field and take their spots. Aaron George and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi are the two Indian openers. Sebastian Morgan to open the attack for England. George to face the first ball with a couple of slips in position. Here we go!
The flags are unfurled in the middle and the glittering trophy has been placed on the podium as well. Both sets of players and the match officials make their way out for the national anthems. It will be India's first, followed by the English national anthem.
India Under-19 (Unchanged Playing XI) - Aaron George, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Ayush Mhatre (C), Vihaan Malhotra, Abhigyan Kundu (WK), Vedant Trivedi, R.S. Ambrish, Kanishk Chouhan, Khilan A. Patel, Henil Patel and D. Deepesh.
England Under-19 (Playing XI) - Ben Dawkins, Joe Moores, Ben Mayes, Thomas Rew (C/WK), Caleb Falconer, Ralphie Albert, Farhan Ahmed, Sebastian Morgan, James Minto, Manny Lumsden and Alex Green (In for Alex French).
The skipper of England Under-19 - Thomas Rew says they were looking to bowl first as he feels the pitch will remain the same throughout the game. Expresses that the boys are nice and fresh, and they want to adapt to the conditions quickly. Mentions that they have taken the pressure off the boys by asking them to enjoy the game. Informs that they have made one change with Alex Green coming in for Alex French.
The captain of India Under-19 - Ayush Mhatre says it looks like a good pitch. Adds that it is a bit hard, and they will try to put on a big score on the board. On the conditions, Mhatre reiterates that the surface in Harare has been a good one for batting and highlights that the batters have shown good batsmanship, which has been a huge positive for them. Stresses on playing their natural game and not complicating things by keeping it simple. Informs that they are going unchanged.
TOSS - Ayush Mhatre and Thomas Rew are out in the middle. Mhatre calls it correctly. India Under-19 elect to BAT first.
PITCH REPORT - Ed Rainsford is near the deck and shares that the humidity is around 75 per cent. Mentions that there is a slight breeze in the air, and the outfield is in superb condition. He adds that with the venue sitting nearly 1500 metres above sea level, the ball is expected to travel nicely through the air. Andy Flower echoes that view from a batter's perspective, mentioning that these are the kind of conditions batters will thoroughly enjoy once they get in. Andy believes that the first half hour could offer some movement for the seamers. He points out that there is more moisture in the surface compared to the semifinal pitch, which played flat.
The final showdown - For the Boys in Blue, the podium is familiar territory. Having been here nine times before, they carry the weight of a legacy and the confidence of a side that knows how to find a way out of the abyss. But for the Young Lions, this isn't just a game, it’s a mission to shatter a 28-year-old glass ceiling and write a new chapter in English cricket history. One thing is absolutely certain, with two lineups this explosive, we are strapped in for an absolute thriller. As the sun beats down on the Harare Sports Club, you forget the stats and the history books for a moment. Once the first ball is bowled, it’s about 11 players vs. 11 players and who wants it more. Stay tuned for the toss and pitch update from Harare.
Will the wait end today? Standing in their way is an England side that many experts consider the most balanced outfit of the decade. Under the steady captaincy of Thomas Rew, England has played a dominant brand of cricket, highlighted by their thrilling heist against Australia in the semifinals. With Rew leading from the front with the bat and the likes of James Minto delivering under pressure with the ball, the Young Lions look poised to finally replicate the glory of their 1998 predecessors.
Dominance is in the DNA - India enters this final as the tournament's most resilient side, having navigated a rollercoaster path to their 6th consecutive final and record-extending 10th final. Led by Ayush Mhatre, the Indian squad has proven they can win from any situation, whether it’s Vedant Trivedi rescuing the middle order under immense pressure against Pakistan or Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Aaron George chasing down a daunting 311-run target in the semifinals. Their ability to find a new hero in every crisis makes them a formidable opponent that refuses to back down.
Drumrolls - Welcome to the grand finale of the ICC Under-19 World Cup 2026! Today, the Harare Sports Club sets the stage for a historic clash as two cricketing powerhouses, India Under-19 and England Under-19, face off for the ultimate prize. With the Boys in Blue eyeing their sixth title and England looking to end a 28-year drought, the atmosphere in Zimbabwe is nothing short of electric. This is more than just a match, it is a showcase of the world’s brightest emerging talents at the pinnacle of junior cricket.
...MATCH DAY...
The Grand Finale - Every young lad in his teens has played this tournament in their head long before they ever earn the cap. Name on the back. Flag on the chest. By the time most teenagers are still figuring out who they are, these kids are already being judged by millions. For most teenagers, life is about exams. For them, it is about carrying the weight of a nation before they have even finished growing into themselves. Weeks of cricket, more than a dozen teams, and countless overs have stripped this tournament down to just two sides and one last dance. The stage is set for the Grand Finale of the ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup 2026 as England go up against India at the Harare Sports Club to chase the ultimate glory. Unbeaten, unconquered, and unfazed - It honestly could not have been set up any better. Two teams that have not lost a single game, be it a heavyweight or an underdog. They have won comfortably, scraped through tight ones, and found a way every single time. England’s journey has been just as convincing as the scorecards suggest. Unbeaten in the group stage, unfazed in the Super Sixes. That semifinal against a ruthless Australia was the moment it could have gone wrong. It did not. Instead, England handled the pressure, took the big moments, and took the bull by its horns, beating them by 27 runs. Similarly, for India, they maintained an unblemished record in both the group stage and Super Sixes. Their semifinal against Afghanistan was a different kind of challenge. Pushed to their limits, asked to chase a daunting 311, India stayed calm and clinical, ticking off the target with authority to keep their perfect record intact. England’s championship case - England’s charge to the final has been driven almost entirely by their top order, and they have made a habit of taking games away early. Ben Mayes has been the standout. Just one shy of 400 runs, a brutal 191, a couple of fifties, and the calm of a batter who simply does not blink. If anyone has set the tone for England this tournament, it has been him. Then there is Thomas Rew. A captain who saved his biggest statement. When Australia came hard in the semifinal, Rew answered with a commanding 110, dragging England through a perilous situation. Add two half centuries to that, and the message is clear. And it is not just the batting. With the ball, England have hunted in packs. Manny Lumsden leads the attack with 15 wickets and a nasty 5/17, while Ralphie Albert and Sebastian Morgan have struck whenever momentum threatened to swing. The proof is simple. Barring Zimbabwe, every side England have faced has been bowled out. Depth over dependence - Before their semifinal against Afghanistan, India had been ruthless. No opponent had crossed 200, whether batting first or chasing. Their bowling unit had squeezed sides dry and made control feel routine. At the heart of it was a dangerous trio. Henil Patel, R.S. Ambrish, and Khilan A. Patel shared the bulk of the wickets, with Henil leading the charge with 11. Then came the semifinal, and suddenly there were questions. Afghanistan cracked 310, and for once, the trio went wicketless. It was a rare off day, one that tested India’s depth with the ball. D. Deepesh and Kanishk Chouhan stepped in with two wickets each, limiting the damage to some extent. With the bat, India have shaped games on their own terms, with the damage spread right through the order rather than concentrated at the top. At the centre of it all is Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, India’s chief enforcer, with three fifties, 15 sixes, the most in the tournament, and the highest run tally in the side. At the top, Aaron George has done the quiet, vital work of absorbing pressure, a role he underlined with a phenomenal 115 in the semifinal, whereas the likes of Abhigyan Kundu and Vihaan Malhotra have fortified the middle order with impactful scores. Team form (Last 5 Youth ODIs, latest result first) - INDIA - WWWWW | ENGLAND - WWWWW. History watches, the game decides - India and England have crossed paths nine times at the Under-19 World Cup since the tournament began in 1988. Yet, only once has it come down to a final. That was in 2022. India won. History leans heavily in India’s favour. A 7-2 head-to-head record tells its own story and underlines the control they have enjoyed over their oldest rivals at this level. But finals have a way of ignoring numbers, especially when England arrive buoyed by toppling an Australian side that looked just as unstoppable. India, though, are no stranger to this stage. Reaching their sixth consecutive Under-19 World Cup final, they walk in with the calm of a side that has lived these moments before and understands exactly what it takes when everything is on the line. Neither side has been carried here by luck or timing. They have earned this fixture the hard way, game after game. The only thing left is to see whose methods last one final time. A cracker of a finale is on the cards.
