India U19 faces Bangladesh U19 in a high-stakes Group B clash of the ICC U19 Men's Cricket World Cup 2026 at Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. The match, scheduled for today, January 17, 2026, starts at 1:00 PM IST, with toss at 12:30 PM IST.
India kicked off their campaign with a convincing 6-wicket win over USA on January 15 at the same venue, chasing down a rain-affected target led by disciplined bowling from Henil Patel. Next up is Bangladesh today, followed by New Zealand on January 24.
Five-time champions India, captained by Ayush Mhatre with vice-captain Vihaan Malhotra, boast a star-studded lineup including teenage sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi at the top. They hold a dominant head-to-head record: 21 wins in 28 matches against Bangladesh's
6. Bangladesh, relying on opener duo Hakim and Zawad Abrar, seeks revenge after past U19 upsets, like the 2020 final, amid seam-friendly Zimbabwean conditions.
