Panashe Mazai To Vihaan Malhotra
FOUR! CENTURY FOR VIHAAN MALHOTRA! He is admired by his teammates as they give a standing ovation. An innings full of control, barring this delivery. But all in all, it is a well-earned century for the youngster. Very full, around off, Vihaan swings hard and only manages a thick inside edge. The ball skims past the stumps and races away to the deep fine leg fence.

Panashe Mazai To Khilan A. Patel
A wide off cutter, on a length, Khilan throws his bat at it and spanks it to the cover fielder. The man there fails to pick it up and lobs the ball to his right for a single.

Panashe Mazai To Khilan A. Patel

Panashe Mazai To Vihaan Malhotra

Dhruv Patel To Khilan A. Patel
High in the air... lands safe! Dhruv bowls a slower one, full and on middle. Khilan mistimes his lofted shot off the top edge, a slight widish to the mid on region. Three fielders, from long on, mid-wicket and long off converge, but the ball lands between them for a single.

Panashe Mazai To R.S. Ambrish OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Ambrish holes out off a massive mishit. Mazai spears it wide outside off, on a fuller length. Ambrish tries to drag that over mid on, but does not get his bat underneath cleanly. Goes through his shot across, but mistimes it straight to Tatenda Chimugoro at mid on. He backtracks a bit and takes the catch over his head with a reverse cup at the edge of the inner ring. R.S. Ambrish departs on a handy 21 (28) and India are 303/7 after 46.2 overs.

Tatenda Chimugoro To Vihaan Malhotra
FOUR! Up and over! An outstanding effort from Michael Blignaut in the deep, it goes in vain. 10/10 for the effort there. Short of a length, outside off, Vihaan hits it over cover. Blignaut covers a lot of ground from deep square leg, to his left, dives to flick the ball in, but fails to do so cleanly. In fact, even before he tries to flick it back with his left hand, the ball kisses the boundary cushions. Vihaan moves to 90!

On a nagging length, around the fifth stump. Ambrish carves it to backward point for a single.
Tatenda Chimugoro (6-0-33-3) returns for another spell. He replaces Dhruv Patel. Meanwhile, in Harare, after bowling out New Zealand just 110 runs, Pakistan are on course for a huge victory, already chalking off almost half the runs in the Powerplay itself. If Pakistan wins that game, which looks quite possible, the points table will get a lot more spiced up.

Drinks! India Under-19 cruising at 193/4 after 28 overs. Zimbabwe have clawed back some control in the last few overs, but they are still playing catch-up and desperately need a cluster of wickets to restrict the damage below 250. The Indian camp, however, will be looking to shift gears now, using this solid platform to launch an assault and push the final total well beyond the 300-run mark. Tatenda Chimugoro (5-0-26-3) is back on. He replaces Michael Blignaut.

Tatenda Chimugoro To Vihaan Malhotra
FOUR! Oh, that was not far away. Tatenda Chimugoro steams in and hammers it on the hard length, outside off, Malhotra is stuck in his crease as he tries to push it away from his body but gets a thick outside edge, past the diving keeper and to third man. The fielder runs to his right and dives, but fails to cleanly keep it away. A boundary.

Halt! What happened there? Right after delivering the first ball, Senzere felt something in his fingers. It seems he may have already been nursing a minor issue, with the repeated impact and grip of the hard ball worsening the problem. The physio is out at the moment. And for now, Brendon is okay to continue. But he still looks in some pain.

Tatenda Chimugoro To Vihaan Malhotra
Hard length delivery on top of middle. Vihaan Malhotra gets behind the line and blocks it. Two wickets and two runs off the over.
DRINKS BREAK! Wow! What a turnaround from the hosts. After the beating from Mhatre and Sooryavanshi, they have removed both of them in quick succession. The duo, who have scored the bulk of the runs in the tournament so far and with Zimbabwe's tail up, they'll hope to bank on the middle phase by keeping it very tight. From India's point of view, they are in a good position but need someone to put their hands up as they look for a big partnership. Also, Vihaan Malhotra walks in to bat.

Tatenda Chimugoro To Vaibhav Sooryavanshi OUT!
OUT! GONE! Soft dismissal! What an inspiring over from Zimbabwe's point of view. Two pillars of Indian cricket go in the space of three balls. Grimace on the face of Sooryavanshi. Bowls it very full, around off, in the blockhole. Sooryavanshi is late to get underneath and mistimes his lofted drive to mid off. Simbarashe Mudzengerere takes a couple of steps back and holds onto it. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi goes for 52 (30). From 100/1, India have slipped down to 101/3.

Tatenda Chimugoro To Ayush Mhatre OUT!
OUT! EDGED AND GONE! A wicket against the run of play but a much-needed one for the home team. A nothing delivery from Chimugoro, pushes it too full and too wide, flirts with the tramline and Mhatre has a wild swing over it, manages only a faint edge on his shot to the keeper, Nathaniel Hlabangana, who takes it to his right. The 56-run partnership is broken. Ayush Mhatre departs on 21 off 19. India are 100/2.

Halt in play. The physio rushes out as Ayush Mhatre needs some medical attention on the bruised forearm. Trust me, that stings a lot, especially if it hits the bone. The magic spray does the job once again, and after getting his forearm a bit strapped up with some compression, Ayush looks fine to continue.

All set for Match 6 of the Super 6 phase to get underway at the Queens Sports Club of Bulawayo. Finally, after frustrating spells of rain in the last week, the conditions are bright and sunny with not a single cloud in sight. Now then, the two umpires make their way out. Zimbabwe players spread out of the team huddle and take their respective fielding spots. Out walk the two Indian openers - Aaron George and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. India are sporting black armbands as a mark of respect in tribute to former BCCI President IS Bindra, who passed away a couple of days back. Panashe Mazai will bowl the first over. Aaron to face. Here we go...
Just a few moments away from the first ball, but before that, it is time for the national anthems. Both teams line up as it will the Indian national anthem, followed by that of Zimbabwe's.
PITCH REPORT - Ed Rainsford and Andy Flower are pitchside. Ed begins by saying that the weather here is good and there are no clouds. Andy joins and reiterates that the weather is warm and it has made the pitch nice and flat. Observes that it is a dry pitch and reckons that the seamers will get bounce and spinners will get some assistance as well.
The captain of India - Ayush Mhatre says that India were keen to bat first with the sun out and the pitch looking good for batting. He confirms one change to the playing XI, with Udhav Mohan replacing Mohammd Enaan as a purely tactical move, and adds that the team has come off a series of high-quality practice sessions leading into the game.
The captain of Zimbabwe - Simbarashe Mudzengerere says that they will bowl first. Mentions that there will be a bit of movement in the morning and adds that there is a bit of moisture as well. Looking at the conditions, he stresses that they must bowl well to get early wickets. Mentions that there are a couple of changes in their side.
Zimbabwe Under-19 (Playing XI) - Nathaniel Hlabangana (WK), Dhruv Patel, Kian Blignaut, Brendon Senzere, Leeroy Chiwaula, Michael Blignaut, Simbarashe Mudzengerere (C), Takudzwa Makoni (In for Shelton Mazvitorera), Tatenda Chimugoro, Panashe Mazai, and Webster Madhidhi (In for Kupakwashe Muradzi).
India Under-19 (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 Udhav Mohan (In for Mohamed Enaan).
TOSS - The coin flip lands in favor of Zimbabwe and they opt to BOWL first.
Semifinals in sight, slip-ups not allowed - A victory here would almost seal India’s chances into the semifinals, allowing them some breathing room ahead of a blockbuster clash against Pakistan on Sunday. A slip-up, however, would turn that encounter into a virtual knockout with no safety net left. For Zimbabwe, this is about cohesion, clarity, and pushing a heavyweight opponent out of their comfort zone. The weather in Bulawayo is bright and clear and let's hope it stays that way. Stay tuned, as toss and teams are up next very shortly.
Hanging by grit, searching for substance - The Young Chevrons have embodied survival mode throughout this tournament, finding a way through a demanding group stage to keep their campaign breathing on home soil. Captain Simbarashe Mudzengerere has stood tall as the anchor, but the challenge for Zimbabwe is the brittle batting core that has been inconsistent to convert starts into substance. Partnerships have been fleeting and collapses have followed promise. Even if the hosts find the discipline to post a competitive total and allow their spinners to draw some bite from this surface, there is another question to answer, as the bowling unit itself has yet to truly fire, managing only four wickets across two completed matches. For Zimbabwe, this contest is not just about belief anymore, it is about delivering across all fronts.
Men in Blue aim for a clean slate - India is operating like a well oiled machine where every part is clicking at the perfect moment. Captain Ayush Mhatre has officially silenced the noise around his form with a brutal 27-ball 53, while 14-year-old sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is making bowling look like a light practice session. Bowling-wise, R.S. Ambrish and Henil Patel have been essentially a wrecking crew. Yet even a machine this smooth has a checkpoint ahead. The middle and lower order remain largely untested, sheltered by a top order that has been finishing contests at breakneck speed. Should early wickets fall, that lack of time in the middle could suddenly come into focus. For now, it is a footnote. But in tournaments like this, footnotes have a habit of becoming headlines.
Dominance vs Survival - India enters the fray with the massive confidence of a side that has steamrolled everyone in their path. Currently occupying the second spot in Group 2, they possess a net run rate so healthy it practically glows. A win today pushes them past the high-flying England to the very top of the pile. Meanwhile, Zimbabwe is the tournament’s ultimate survivor. This clash has a fascinating backstory because Zimbabwe actually landed in this Super 6 slot after a bit of a slow chase by Pakistan in their previous game, effectively knocking Scotland out on math alone.
Super 6 trail continues - The Super Six journey rolls on at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo as India cross paths with hosts Zimbabwe in Match 6 of this phase in the ICC Under 19 Cricket World Cup 2026. With the tournament entering a decisive stretch, every fixture now carries weight and consequence. Settle in as two sides with contrasting momentum take the field, knowing that the road ahead only gets narrower and the climb only steeper from here.
... MATCH DAY ...
A crucial Super 6 encounter - The Super 6 stage of the ICC Under-19 World Cup 2026 is beginning to find its edge. Momentum matters, confidence counts, and the margins grow thinner with each outing. Match number six brings together two sides arriving with very different energies but the same ambition. The high-flying Indian team steps into the arena brimming with authority and intent, while a spirited Zimbabwe outfit looks to channel home conditions into an inspiring performance. At the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo, as this encounter has the potential to test both control and character. Unbeaten India carry depth and balance - India went unbeaten in the league phase, winning three of three, but they are yet to play a full game of cricket as all their fixtures have been truncated ones due to rain. Even so, the cricket they have managed has been commanding and very much along expected lines, topping Group B. However, the challenge is only going to elevate with every match they play from here. With the bat, Abhigyan Kundu and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi have been the pillars of the lineup, each scoring a half-century and lending stability through the order. Captain Ayush Mhatre has added to that solidity as well, coming off a composed 53 against a stronger New Zealand side. With the ball, India have been just as incisive. Henil Patel, the second leading wicket-taker of the tournament so far, has picked up nine wickets in three games, highlighted by a superb 5 for 16 against the USA. Support has come from all corners, with Vihaan Malhotra’s four-for against Bangladesh and RS Ambrish’s four-wicket haul versus the Kiwis, as India have bowled out every opposition they have faced, and haven’t conceded 150 even once. Notably, they have found different match-winners in each of their three outings, underlining the depth and balance that has defined their campaign so far. Zimbabwe seek collective lift - ‘Every opportunity, whatever situation you get into, it takes one person to start the fight, and everyone joins the fight. If you go alone, you can go fast, but for going far, you have to go together.’ Stirring words from former Zimbabwe great Tatenda Taibu as he rallied the home side ahead of the World Cup. After their opening game against Scotland was washed out by rain, they responded with a much stronger showing against heavyweights England, putting together an impressive batting effort with the lineup firing collectively. Simbarashe Mudzengerere, Nathaniel Hlbangana, Tatenda Chimugoro, and Dhruv Patel have stood out with the bat so far. However, concerns have surfaced with the ball. Across the two completed matches, they have managed just four wickets, an area they will be keen to address as the tournament progresses. India favorites, Zimbabwe back home advantage - India will step into this contest as clear favorites, driven by an unbeaten league phase and a well-rounded unit that has delivered across conditions so far. Their depth with both bat and ball gives them a distinct edge as the Super 6 stage tightens. Zimbabwe, though, will look to lean heavily on home conditions at Bulawayo, where familiarity with the surface and surroundings could help bridge the gap. With nothing to lose and support firmly behind them, the hosts will aim to turn comfort into confidence and test a tough opponent in India.
