U19 World Cup 2026: India vs USA Playing 11, match timings, live streaming

Five-time champions India U19 are starting their ICC Under-19 World Cup 2026 campaign against USA U19 at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe today. The toss for the opening fixture went in India's way. Skipper Ayush Mhatre invited USA to bat first.  India enters the tournament as the most successful team in the history of the competition and will be aiming for a record-extending sixth title.

 

The squad appears balanced on paper, with a mix of top-order batting strength and a varied pace attack. Teenage batter Vaibhav Suryavanshi will be one of the key players to watch, while Aaron George provides stability after a productive Under-19 Asia Cup.

 

 

Captain Ayush Mhatre and vice-captain Vihaan Malhotra have returned after injury concerns, adding depth and leadership to the line-up. In the bowling department, Deepesh Devendran’s awkward action could prove effective in local conditions.

 

USA, led by Utkarsh Srivastava, are expected to play without pressure, but India start the contest as clear favourites.
