That ends a pretty one-sided encounter. England play Scotland next on Wednesday, 21st January, 2026 and on Thursday, Zimbabwe meet Pakistan. We are done for this match, but the action from the day is not done yet. USA are involved in a tussle with New Zealand, while Afghanistan are on their way to topple West Indies as well! Wowza! Who expected that? Monday, 19th January, 2026 brings you three matches - Pakistan vs Scotland, Ireland vs Sri Lanka and South Africa vs Tanzania. You can click on our matchcentres and get all the action. Have fun. ADIOS! TAKE CARE!
Oh wow. He comes for a second interview. The captain of England Under-19, Thomas Rew, says that he is very happy to get off to a good start and hopes to carry the momentum forward. Shares that the pitch was better than it was last time and lauds his bowlers for their effort. He adds that when they went out to bat, the focus was on playing strong shots. Rew feels that they can be more consistent. Praises the spinners for doing really well, especially with the shorter boundaries in play. He also says he enjoys the captaincy and likes being involved in the game, and values having other players around him to offer support.
Simbarashe Mudzengerere, the captain of Zimbabwe Under-19, says it is not a good start to the tournament but believes the team will be fine if they improve their execution. He feels they need to give themselves a bit of time, avoid rushing, and stay at the crease. Mentions that the moment you stay at the wicket, you win. Mudzengerere points out that the England batters attacked the cow corner region effectively and picked their shots well. Tells that they are close to doing well and only need slightly better execution to turn things around.
England's skipper, Thomas Rew, has been adjudged the Player Of The Match, for an unbeaten 86 (66). Rew says the wicket was better than it was the other day against Pakistan and gives credit to Ben Mayes for the way he batted. Adds that it was simply a case of talking to each other and doing the job, and denies that there was any discussion about finishing the chase early. Shares that they just batted, and never looked at the scoreboard. Rew further says that they took their chances, and it came off. Mentions that the smaller part of the ground was a talking point, with a plan to target the spinners on that part, particularly. Concludes by saying that whenever they bat, the aim is to be responsible and stay there till the end.
... The Presentation ...
Tough pill to swallow for Zimbabwe. Their opening match against Scotland was washed out and dare we say, that match would have been a much better chance for them to play as an opener. England were way too powerful and their bowling simply came unstuck. But as a ray of bright light, one has to laud their batting, which showed positive character. They did not back down and were determined to play 50 overs. However, a change in mindset is needed. As many as 4 batters got starts with 3 not converting. Additionally, the batters seemed to be content in avoiding losing wickets and not necessarily trying to change the tempo. Of course, this is at the grassroot level but these are the things they need to keep in mind for further development.
Continuing on the previous paragraph, it is hard to find faults in the batting when you have chased down a 200-plus total in under 30 overs. But a critic and a perfectionist will say that the opposition did not possess the bowling attack of the greatest calibre and even the two wickets lost, were gifted. Waste of opportunities. But, a win is a win. England will be happy by qualifying for the Super Sixes by topping the league and will now aim for a clean sweep. Ben Mayes and Thomas Rew looked in excellent touch and what impressed more was once set, the batters decided to step it on, showing their ruthlessness. Their unbeaten 167-run stand literally crushed any thoughts of a fightback from the hosts, when the Brits were 42/2.
Talking about being better for England, first, with the ball. They had Zimbabwe on the back foot multiple times. First, they struck on the third ball of the match. But took a whole of 57 balls before striking the second time. With bowler-friendly conditions, that was a waste of the new ball. Next, they enforced a collapse in the middle overs, reducing Zimbabwe from 107/3 to 153/7. But could not bowl out their opposition, being made to bowl all the 50 overs. Having bowled so brilliantly against Pakistan, they will feel this as a let down. Manny Lumsden picked up 3 wickets but should have got more, had he landed the ball in the right areas with the new ball.
Our preview read that England SHOULD be the favourites for this clash, but you can never say in Under-19 matches. Seems like Thomas Rew took that up personally and as a challenge. They have come out here and shown their dominance, albeit there are some areas where they will feel they could have done better.
Clinical. Dominant. Use any adjective of your choice. But England have stormed to a chase of 209 in 28 overs. At a run rate of under 7.5. The hosts would feel bruised, not just because of the loss, but because of the manner of the loss. A real hammering.

What was that? Just for a second, I thought the umpire was signalling for the covers! Okay, he has signalled towards the physio. On the previous ball, the ball had lobbed off the gloves onto the helmet. The mandatory concussion test is being done. All in readiness now. Leeroy Chiwaula has been given the ball now.

DRINKS BREAK. Time for some refreshments. It would be interesting to understand how do teams plan at this level. Do they already look towards the future? I mean, if this had been at the senior level, England would have already started thinking about the knockouts. Do these units also do that? It is pretty safe to assume that England will move into the Super Sixes. However, given that they will meet 'better' teams in that group, could this performance be a sort of sending a warning to those?

However, the fielder at first slip is quick to react. He starts to run the moment he sees the batter look to flick, dives full stretch and with his left hand, stops the ball! Simply brilliant attitude.

Powerplay 1 comparison - (30/1 for Zimbabwe) | (65/2 for England). While England bowled really well with the new ball, cannot be said that the hosts have matched that. However, they have got two wickets because of some poor shots by the batters, gifting their wickets away. Having said that, the 20th century champions are firmly in control in this new-age game. Brendon Senzere comes onto bowl some off spin now.

FOUR OVERTHROWS, FIVE RUNS IN TOTAL! Mayhem. Full, outside off, Mayes drives it to the left of mid off. The fielder gets to the ball and without looking up, fires a throw at the bowler's end. Had he hit, Mayes might have been gone but he misses. Unfortunately for the fielder, there is no one backing up and the ball races all the way to the mid-wicket fence! A wicket from the over, but 13 runs from it as well.

Shelton Mazvitorera To Joe Moores OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! And now, I am reminded of Michael Atherton. Not because of the shot, but because of something said by the great man. This is an incident somewhere in 2024, when Australia had toured England for a white-ball series. Athers had just finished praising Bethell and on the next ball, the youngster threw his wicket away, to a pretty innocuous ball by Glenn Maxwell. 'Kiss of death', was his comment on air at that moment. Moores reminds me of that. We just praised him and on the next ball, he gifts it away. On a length, wide outside off, Moores slaps it uppishly, but straight to Nathaniel Hlabangana at deep point who does not have to move an inch! Excellent homework by Zimbabwe who saw England play against Pakistan. Great field settings. Moores departs for 19 (20) and England Under-19 are 42/2, needing another 167 runs from 260 balls.

Shelton Mazvitorera To Joe Moores
SIX! WHAM! On a length, around middle, angling away, Joe Moores gets on top of the bounce, picking the length early and with brilliant use of his bottom hand, whips it over wide long on! Might be only me, but Moores does remind me of Jacob Bethell.

Shelton Mazvitorera To Ben Dawkins OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Now, that is a real gift. The trap was set and Dawkins has jumped right into it. After his first six, the fielder at point was pushed back. Mazvitorera bowled it short and wide outside off, challenging Dawkins' ego to take him on. Dawkins accepts the challenge and slaps it real hard. But he hits it straight to Dhruv Patel at deep point who makes no mistake! The home side is overjoyed to see its plan come to fruition while Dawkins walks back, cutting a sorry figure. He departs for 11 (10) and Zimbabwe have the early wicket they needed. England Under-19 are 22/1 and need another 187 runs from 282 balls.

Is that put down? Chimugoro begins with a shortish ball down the leg side. Moores looks to glance it and there is a noise as the ball goes through to the keeper. Muradzi dives across to his right but cannot cling on. Hard to tell where the sound came from, but it certainly did not sound woody. They cross and it has been given as a leg bye.
No swing, no seam movement, nothing. We saw plenty happening with the new ball in the first innings but the conditions seem to have totally changed now. Tatenda Chimugoro will share the new ball.
