India Under-19 team will be eyeing a berth in the final of the ICC Under-19 World Cup 2026 against England as they face off against Asian rivals Afghanistan in the second semifinal match at the Harare Sports Club on Wednesday. England have already booked a berth in the title clash with a 27-run win over arch-rivals Australia in the first semifinal.
Ayush Mhatre’s Indian side have been one of the two best teams in the tournament along with England, maintaining an all-win record so far. They will be entering the semifinals full of confidence after a massive 58-run win over arch-rivals Pakistan in their final Super Six Group A match.
Rajasthan Royals star Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who is only 14 years of age, is their second-highest run-scorer in the World Cup so far with 196 runs in 5 matches with 2 fifties and a best of 72 with a strike-rate of 134.24. Abhigyan Kundu has led the run-scoring charts for India with 199 runs in 5 games with 2 fifties and an average of 66.33.
In the bowling department, Henil Patel is their leading wicket-taker with 11 scalps in 5 matches at an excellent average of 10.09. RS Ambrish and Khilan Patel have claimed 8 wickets each.
Afghanistan, on the other hand, had begun their Super Six campaign with a loss at the hands of Sri Lanka but bounced back brilliantly with 191-run win over minnows Ireland. They had topped the Group D in the league stages as well with wins over South Africa, West Indies and Tanzania and cannot be taken lightly in the knockout stages.
The big Semi-Final awaits!
