Presentations coming up...
19:40 IST:
Earlier in the rain-truncated 37-over contest, New Zealand U-19 struggled to adapt to damp conditions, crumbling to an underwhelming 135 all out despite late resistance from Callum Samson and Selwin Sanjay. The Kiwi top order was dismantled by a disciplined Indian bowling attack, initiated by the probing seam movement of RS Ambrish and Henil Patel and sustained by the stifling spin trio of Khilan Patel, Kanishk Chouhan, and Mohammad Enaan. Backed by committed fielding on a soggy outfield, India U-19 capitalized on the loose shots of their opponents to deliver a commanding performance.
19:39 IST:
It was a tough day at the office for the New Zealand bowling attack, as they struggled to find their rhythm and were put to the sword right from the first ball. While Mason Clarke, Jaskaran Sandhu, and Selwin Sanjay managed to break through with a wicket apiece, they simply couldn't stem the flow of runs. They never truly looked like they could force a result.
19:40 IST:
What a performance to seal the group stage! Three wins from three games. India maintained their perfect record in Group B, securing a dominant victory to finish the group stage unbeaten. The bowlers set the tone early, strangling the opposition to set up a modest DLS target of 130. Despite an early hiccup with the loss of Aaron George, India’s chase was never in doubt. Ayush Mhatre and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi dismantled the attack with a high-octane partnership, both striking at over 150. While Vaibhav Sooryavanshi provided the initial spark, Ayush Mhatre anchored the chase with a commanding half-century, ensuring India crossed the line with ease.
19:32 IST:
13.3: Selwin Sanjay to Vedant Trivedi, That will do! Quicker, on leg, Vedant Trivedi flicks it to backward square leg for a quick single. India Under-19 beat New Zealand Under-19 by 7 wickets!

IND vs NZ Live score: George fails

The move to open with Aaron George hasn’t paid off for India. George managed to clear the ropes once but has now been dismissed. Ayush Mhatre is at the crease at No.3, and he’ll need to forge a solid partnership with Vaibhav Suryavanshi to give India a strong chance of chasing down this target. The onus is on them to steady the innings and build momentum.

...The Chase...
18:03 IST:
India Under-19 were relentless with the ball, never letting the pressure drop. R.S. Ambrish was the pick of the bowlers with a brilliant four-wicket haul, while the rest of the attack chipped in with a wicket each to keep things tight. The target is 136 for India Under-19. Should be an easy chase unless the Kiwis can pick a couple of wickets with the new ball, which could make this game interesting. Stay tuned for the run chase!

Jacob Cotter and Jaskaran Sandhu tried to rebuild with a gritty 37-run stand, but India struck just as they looked settled. Sandhu fell for 18 and Cotter followed shortly, leaving the score at 69/7.

IND vs NZ Live score: Partnership ended by Jaskaran

Just when it looked like New Zealand were on course of a repair job with a small partnership between Jaskaran Sandhu and Jacob Cotter of 37 runs, India managed to nip the stand in the bud as Kanishk Chouhan made Sandhu hole out to long on. New Zealand  have piled on the misery on themselves, with16 more overs still to play having just four wickets in hand. It will be a herculean task for the Kiwis to post a competitive total to challenge India from here onwards.

U-19 World Cup, IND vs NZ Live: India all over New Zealand

India are all over New Zealand in their third fixture of the ICC Under 19 World Cup 2026. The carnage began with RS Ambarish, who scalped two wickets early, followed by the third one through a searing yorker. At the other end, Henil Patel and Khilan Patel have also contributed with one wicket each. As a result, New Zealand have lost half their side with just 22 runs on the board.  It will now take a herculean task for the Blackcaps to script a comeback in this 37 over per side fixture.
