U19 World Cup 2026 Semifinal: AUS vs ENG preview, toss time, live streaming

The ICC U19 World Cup 2026 enters its knockout stage today, with defending champions Australia U19 taking on arch-rivals England U19 in the first semifinal match of the tournament at Queens Park Stadium in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. England skipper Thomas Rew won the toss for the match and opted to bat first.

 

Both teams have been undefeated so far in the competition, which means whoever loses their first match will be knocked out, while the winner will walk into the final still unbeaten.

Australia U19 team news

England U19 have quietly built momentum in the ICC Under-19 World Cup 2026 and remain firmly in contention for a semifinal spot. Their campaign began with a setback against England U19, but the young Pakistan side responded strongly, registering emphatic victories over Scotland, Zimbabwe and New Zealand to revive their knockout hopes.

 

 

Despite the impressive turnaround, Pakistan head into Sunday’s high-stakes clash knowing the margin for error is slim. The equation is clear: they must beat Australia U19, and do so by a significant margin, to overcome their net run-rate deficit compared to both India and England. With semifinal qualification on the line, Pakistan are expected to come out with an aggressive approach as they look to keep their World Cup dream alive.

England U19 team news

The England Under-19 cricket team arrive at the semifinal unbeaten and full of belief after a disciplined campaign at the U19 World Cup 2026. England’s strength has been their balanced attack, with seamers picking up wickets regularly and spinners controlling the middle overs. Their batting unit has shown maturity, with multiple players contributing across matches rather than depending on one individual. England have looked tactically sharp in crunch moments and will be aiming to carry that consistency into Tuesday’s semifinal clash against Australia.
