India Under-19 are set to lock horns with arch-rivals Pakistan Under-19 in a high-stakes Super Six encounter of the ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup 2026 on Sunday (February 1). The match will be played at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, with a semi-final spot firmly on the line.
India enter the contest as unbeaten favourites in Group 2 and are just one win away from officially sealing qualification to the semi-finals. Pakistan, meanwhile, face a must-win scenario and may also need a significant boost to their Net Run Rate to stay alive in the tournament.
This clash is another chapter in one of cricket's fiercest rivalries and comes with added context after Pakistan defeated India in the recent U19 Asia Cup final. With tournament momentum,
pride, and progression all at stake, Sunday's game promises intense competition.
India, led by Ayush Mhatre, have looked balanced and composed throughout the tournament. Their campaign has been powered by consistent batting from Abhigyan Kundu and impactful spells from Henil Patel, giving the five-time champions a commanding edge. A win here would not only confirm their semi-final berth but also put them in a strong position to top the Super Six group.
Pakistan, on the other hand, are under pressure following a loss to England earlier in the Super Six stage. While victory against India is non-negotiable, the Boys in Green will also be mindful of margins. They will take confidence from past encounters and aim to deliver a complete performance in a do-or-die situation.
The conditions in Bulawayo are expected to be ideal for a full 50-over contest. The pitch at Queens Sports Club has offered early assistance to seamers but generally settles into a good batting surface as the match progresses.
