India Under-19 beat Pakistan Under-19 by 58 runs
Locked and loaded for the semifinals - And with that, the semifinal line up for this ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup, 2026 is locked in. England, Australia, India, and Afghanistan are the final four still standing. The first semifinal will see England take on Australia at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo on Tuesday, 3rd February. India, meanwhile, will head to Harare to face a spirited Afghanistan side that has made remarkable strides in a short span. The second semifinal will be played on Wednesday, 4th February, with the first ball scheduled for 7.30 am GMT. The stakes could not be higher. Do join us for all the pre-match buzz and buildup in advance. Until then, goodbye, cheers!
The victorious captain of India - AYUSH MHATRE highlights that the innings began well through Vaibhav and George, although there was some assistance for the bowlers with the ball gripping and turning. He heaps praise on Kanishk Chouhan, calling his knock brilliant, and adds that Chouhan had been batting exceptionally well in the nets. Mhatre says the team was confident he would deliver when it mattered. He mentions that contributions came from across the side, in every department, with the bowlers also stepping up at the right time. While the Pakistani batters batted well in the first 25 overs, Mhatre notes that once the ball started to spin, the Indian bowlers executed their plans effectively. Looking ahead, he stresses that the team is taking one game at a time, with the focus firmly on winning the semifinal before thinking about the final or the trophy.
The captain of Pakistan - FARHAN YOUSAF reflects on the defeat. He says that they began well with the ball and were able to pick up three early wickets. However, he admits that slightly wayward bowling allowed the opposition batters to settle, and the slow over-rate penalty that forced them to bring an extra fielder inside the circle also played a role. Despite the outcome, Yousaf says he is proud of his team’s effort and believes they will come back stronger in the future. He details that the initial aim was to win the game and secure qualification for the semifinal, but after losing a few wickets in the chase, the focus shifted to simply trying to win the match. Yousaf describes the wicket as challenging in the second innings and reiterates that the result does not take away from his pride in the team, especially praising the bowling and fielding efforts.
PLAYER OF THE MATCH - KANISHK CHOUHAN gets the award for playing a rescuer knock of 35 runs and returning with bowling figures of 10-1-30-1. He shares that he was advised to take his time at the crease. He explains that the plan was to bat deep, believing a total in the range of 230 to 240 would be competitive. Chouhan adds that the approach was to go for the boundary only when the ball was there to be hit and otherwise keep the scoreboard moving with singles. He describes the wicket as fairly normal and says it feels good to perform with such strong support around him.
... THE PRESENTATION CEREMONY ...
A mammoth challenge for Pakistan - The task in front of Pakistan was enormous, almost like trying to scale Mount Everest, with qualification hinging on chasing the target inside 33.3 overs or fewer. They lost Sameer Minhas, their batting spearhead, early, but Hamza Zahoor and Usman Khan came together to steady the innings. Their 65-run alliance was followed by a sluggish 63-run partnership between Yousaf and Usman, but as the game progressed, the surface began to grip and turn, making stroke-making increasingly difficult for the batters. Pakistan's run rate kept dipping and their chances diminished with every passing over. Just like the spinners of Pakistan, the Indian spin quartet came in unison and choked the scoring completely, combining for 8 wickets. Pakistan were out of the qualification race as they needed around 100 runs when the 34th over approached. And after that, the wheels just came off for them.
A long grind with the bat - India were rocked early, losing their top three inside the Powerplay as Pakistan were sharp in the field and spot on with their plans. Apart from the 62-run stand between Vihaan and Vedant that kept the men in blue afloat in that middle phase, India struggled to stitch together any meaningful alliances, with Pakistan constantly picking up wickets at regular intervals. A lot of the credit goes to Farhan Yousaf’s captaincy, as his bowling changes proved timely and effective. There were also moments where a few dismissals for India, particularly of Kundu and Sooryavanshi, appeared more self-inflicted than forced by the bowling. The turning point arrived in the 47th over, when Pakistan were penalised for a slow over rate and had to bring an extra fielder inside the ring. That shift proved costly. Timely cameos from Kanishk Chouhan and Khilan A. Patel at the death took full advantage, giving India the late surge they needed to push past the 250-run mark.
A clinical win for the Men in Blue - India had already qualified for the semis way before the result, but capping it off by winning it in such a fashion is just like a chef's kiss. With that, they not only top Group 2 of the Super Sixes, but also continue their unbeaten run against Pakistan in the Under-19 World Cup since 2012. It is now confirmed that India will face Afghanistan in the second semifinal in Harare. On the other hand, Bulawayo will be treated to a mini Ashes as Australia will go up against England in the first semifinal.

OUT! BOWLED 'EM! Khilan has hammered the final nail into the coffin. Touch fuller on off, Huzaifa Ahsan hangs back and looks to carve the cut, but finds himself cramped for room. The ball whistles past the edge of the willow and clatters into the crown of off stump. Curtains. INDIA BEAT PAKISTAN BY 58 RUNS!

Khilan A. Patel To Abdul Subhan OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! That's a sensational take from Kanishk Chouhan and Pakistan Under-19 are seven down. This is flat and a touch fuller, on middle. Abdul Subhan puts on his dancing shows and charges down the deck to hoist it downtown, but miscues the shot. He gets the height more than the distance on the shot and Kanishk Chouhan, from the long on region, runs across the turf to his left, puts a dive and pouches the catch safely into his hands. That is not at all an easy catch.

POWERPLAY 3! India have their foot on the opposition's throat now. They have already confirmed their berth in the semifinal. But they are inching closer to a win. Just 28/3 for Pakistan in that 31-40 over phase. The men in blue can have a maximum of five players outside the inner ring for the remainder of the match.

OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Ayush Mhatre brings himself into the attack and makes an impact on the very first ball. This is a touch fuller, pitching just outside off and turning away from the left-hander. Ahmed Hussain lunges forward to block it, but the ball grips and just kisses the outside edge to get into the gloves of Abhigyan Kundu standing behind the stumps. Pakistan are 159 for 4 now.
Ayush Mhatre, the Indian captain, to roll his arm over.

Kanishk Chouhan To Ahmed Hussain
A sigh of relief for Usman! A flighted delivery outside off, it's pushed to the off side. This is for a tight single to the right of cover. Malhotra does brilliantly, scooping it up one-handed and throwing it to the keeper, who whips the stumps. Initially, it looked close, but the replays show the wicketkeeper’s gloves had begun dislodging the bails just as Khan was out of his ground. The next frame shows him back in, and the third umpire decides there isn’t conclusive evidence that the bail was completely removed while he was out of the crease. He’s deemed NOT OUT.
Is Usman run out? He tries to drag the bat in to complete the single, as the keeper collects the ball and whips the bails off. The leg side replay does not provide conclusive evidence. So the third umpire asks for another angle from the opposite side. Even that angle fails to provide certainty. Usman’s bat appears to be just short, but with no definitive evidence, the benefit of the doubt goes to the batter. NOT OUT flashes on the big screen.

R.S. Ambrish To Farhan Yousaf OUT!
OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! That's the end of the Pakistani skipper and Ambrish lets out an aggressive celebration. He bowls a back-of-a-length delivery just outside the off stump. Yousaf goes for a big hoick over long on but fails to get the height and a good connection. Khilan is perfectly positioned at the long on region and takes a tidy catch. Farhan Yousaf departs on a steady 38 (39) and Pakistan are 151/3.

After a promising start, Pakistan's scoring rate has dipped dramatically. They managed to add just 42-1 in that 11-20 over period. While they are clearly pushing for a win, the chase for qualification is slipping away, with almost five overs since their last boundary. India have done well to keep the dot-ball percentage high, tightening the screws with disciplined bowling. Pakistan need 155 runs off 81 balls or fewer to leapfrog India for the semis.

Arm ball now, fuller, on middle and angling it down the leg side. Usman Khan lunges forward to push it back to the bowler but it gets past the inside edge and he wears it on the front pad. Stiffled appeal from India, but turned down immediately.

POWERPLAY 2! India will be allowed to field a maximum of four fielders outside the 30-yard circle in this 11-40 over phase. A pretty mixed bag first ten overs for India. They did manage to get rid of the dangerous Sameer Minhas, but these two have steadied the ship nicely for Pakistan. Also, a couple of dropped chances haven't helped India's cause either. But to qualify for the semis, Pakistan need 197 runs off 141 balls or fewer.

IN THE AIR... DROPPED! Aaron George is the guilty party. Deepesh bangs it into the pitch, short and outside off. Usman Khan tries to pull, but the ball gets big on him and ends up getting a top edge behind towards deep fine leg. Aaron George rushes in off the ropes, but seemingly, he is a bit slow to get off the blocks. Does not get into a comfortable position and the ball just bursts out of his palms and rolls around him.

A full ball that nips away from middle, Khan slices it wide of Vaibhav at cover who chases it with a slide. Just a single. Full marks for commitment, looks fine now despite the slide.
Halt! Dear me, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is down on the ground and needs medical attention. Seems to be an issue with his left hamstring. The physio rushes out to tend to him and a few concerned Indian players also converge to check on him. After some stretching exercises and getting hydrated, Vaibhav is fine to continue.

Henil Patel To Sameer Minhas OUT!
OUT! LBW! HENIL PATEL STRIKES BIG. A big, big blow for Pakistan early doors. Patel lands it in thereabouts of the off pole, and it keeps low while nipping back in sharply. Sameer Minhas plays all over it as his bat comes down at an angle and is beaten by the lack of bounce. Gets pinged on the back pad. India go up in appeal as one and the finger is raised instantly. The in-form Sameer Minhas departs for just 9 (11) and Pakistan are 23/1, chasing 253.
