Pakistan produced a spirited bowling performance in their final Super Six encounter of the ICC Under-19 World Cup 2026, restricting five-time champions India Under-19 to a modest 252 all out in 49.5 overs at the Queens Sports Club on Sunday. Having chosen to bowl first, Pakistan Under-19 kept chipping away with wickets and never allowed India to fully take control. Pakistan now face a demanding chase of 253 runs in 33.3 overs to overhaul India on net run rate and book a place in the semifinals.
Early momentum before Sayyam sparks turnaround
India began brightly, racing to 47 runs for the opening wicket, but momentum swung sharply in the eighth over. Mohammad Sayyam triggered Pakistan’s fightback with a double strike, removing Vaibhav Sooryavanshi (30 off 22 balls) and skipper Ayush Mhatre (0 off 2) in the space of three deliveries.
Powerplay pressure leaves India reeling
The pressure intensified immediately as Abdul Subhan struck in the following over to dismiss Aaron George (16 off 25). India limped to the end of the powerplay at 49 for 3, having lost three wickets for just two runs.
Middle-order resistance led by Trivedi
A steady fourth-wicket stand between Vihaan Malhotra and Vendant Trivedi helped India cross the 100-run mark, but Ahmed Hussain broke the partnership just before the halfway stage, dismissing Malhotra (21 off 43). Trivedi continued to anchor the innings, bringing up his first half-century of the tournament, before Ali Hasan Baloch removed Abhigyan Kundu (16 off 27).
Late runs push India past 250
Trivedi’s resistance ended on 68 off 97 balls, bowled by Momin Qamar in the 41st over. RS Ambrish (29 off 38) briefly lifted the scoring before falling to Ali Raza, while a brisk 51-run eighth-wicket stand between Kanisk Chouhan (35 off 29) and Khilan Patel (21 off 15) pushed India beyond 250. Abdul Subhan cleaned up the tail, including a run-out of Deepesh, as India were bowled out for 252 with one ball remaining.

The coin flip of the match went in Pakistan's way who opted to bowl first. Captain's take after toss: Ayush Mhatre (India): We would've batted first. Boys are doing well. We are confident. Sunny day, first three games there was rain. Last two games there was good weather. Udhav Mohan out, Deepesh comes in Farhan Yousaf (Pakistan): Light moisture, our bowling department will do well. It's a new ground, we've prepared well. Not much difference in the two venues. Bowlers and fielders have done well. I believe in my unit. First focus is to play a good game, not worry about margins. One change: Ali Hassan in, Shayan out India vs Pakistan U19 World Cup 2026 Super Six: Playing 11 India playing 11: Aaron George, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Ayush Mhatre(c), Vihaan Malhotra, Abhigyan Kundu(w), Vedant Trivedi, RS Ambrish, Kanishk Chouhan, Khilan Patel, Henil Patel, Deepesh Devendran Pakistan playing 11: Hamza Zahoor (W), Sameer Minhas, Usman Khan, Ahmed Hussain, Farhan Yousaf (C), Huzaifa Ahsan, Ali Hassan Baloch, Abdul Subhan, Momin Qamar, Mohammad Sayyam, Ali Raza
The clash is effectively a shootout for the final semifinal spot, adding extra intensity to an already fierce rivalry.
India enter the contest with momentum on their side, having enjoyed an unbeaten run through the group stage and into the Super Six. Their healthy net run rate gives them breathing space, meaning they can afford a narrow loss and still remain in contention. Pakistan, on the other hand, face a tougher equation. After bouncing back strongly from an early defeat to England with convincing wins over Scotland, Zimbabwe and New Zealand, they must now beat India — and do so by a significant margin — to overturn the net run rate gap.
