Locked and loaded for the semifinals - And with that, the semifinal line up for this ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup, 2026 is locked in. England, Australia, India, and Afghanistan are the final four still standing. The first semifinal will see England take on Australia at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo on Tuesday, 3rd February. India, meanwhile, will head to Harare to face a spirited Afghanistan side that has made remarkable strides in a short span. The second semifinal will be played on Wednesday, 4th February, with the first ball scheduled for 7.30 am GMT. The stakes could not be higher. Do join us for all the pre-match buzz and buildup in advance. Until then, goodbye, cheers! 
21:19 IST:
The victorious captain of India - AYUSH MHATRE highlights that the innings began well through Vaibhav and George, although there was some assistance for the bowlers with the ball gripping and turning. He heaps praise on Kanishk Chouhan, calling his knock brilliant, and adds that Chouhan had been batting exceptionally well in the nets. Mhatre says the team was confident he would deliver when it mattered. He mentions that contributions came from across the side, in every department, with the bowlers also stepping up at the right time. While the Pakistani batters batted well in the first 25 overs, Mhatre notes that once the ball started to spin, the Indian bowlers executed their plans effectively. Looking ahead, he stresses that the team is taking one game at a time, with the focus firmly on winning the semifinal before thinking about the final or the trophy.
21:15 IST:
The captain of Pakistan - FARHAN YOUSAF reflects on the defeat. He says that they began well with the ball and were able to pick up three early wickets. However, he admits that slightly wayward bowling allowed the opposition batters to settle, and the slow over-rate penalty that forced them to bring an extra fielder inside the circle also played a role. Despite the outcome, Yousaf says he is proud of his team’s effort and believes they will come back stronger in the future. He details that the initial aim was to win the game and secure qualification for the semifinal, but after losing a few wickets in the chase, the focus shifted to simply trying to win the match. Yousaf describes the wicket as challenging in the second innings and reiterates that the result does not take away from his pride in the team, especially praising the bowling and fielding efforts.
21:12 IST:
KANISHK CHOUHAN is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH - He shares that he was advised to take his time at the crease. He explains that the plan was to bat deep, believing a total in the range of 230 to 240 would be competitive. Chouhan adds that the approach was to go for the boundary only when the ball was there to be hit and otherwise keep the scoreboard moving with singles. He describes the wicket as fairly normal and says it feels good to perform with such strong support around him.

... THE PRESENTATION CEREMONY ...
21:17 IST:
A mammoth challenge for Pakistan - The task in front of Pakistan was enormous, almost like trying to scale Mount Everest, with qualification hinging on chasing the target inside 33.3 overs or fewer. They lost Sameer Minhas, their batting spearhead, early, but Hamza Zahoor and Usman Khan came together to steady the innings. Their 65-run alliance was followed by a sluggish 63-run partnership between Yousaf and Usman, but as the game progressed, the surface began to grip and turn, making stroke-making increasingly difficult for the batters. Pakistan's run rate kept dipping and their chances diminished with every passing over. Just like the spinners of Pakistan, the Indian spin quartet came in unison and choked the scoring completely, combining for 8 wickets. Pakistan were out of the qualification race as they needed around 100 runs when the 34th over approached. And after that, the wheels just came off for them. 
21:13 IST:
A long grind with the bat - India were rocked early, losing their top three inside the Powerplay as Pakistan were sharp in the field and spot on with their plans. Apart from the 62-run stand between Vihaan and Vedant that kept the men in blue afloat in that middle phase, India struggled to stitch together any meaningful alliances, with Pakistan constantly picking up wickets at regular intervals. A lot of the credit goes to Farhan Yousaf’s captaincy, as his bowling changes proved timely and effective. There were also moments where a few dismissals for India, particularly of Kundu and Sooryavanshi, appeared more self-inflicted than forced by the bowling. The turning point arrived in the 47th over, when Pakistan were penalised for a slow over rate and had to bring an extra fielder inside the ring. That shift proved costly. Timely cameos from Kanishk Chouhan and Khilan A. Patel at the death took full advantage, giving India the late surge they needed to push past the 250-run mark.
21:19 IST:
A clinical win for the Men in Blue - India had already qualified for the semis way before the result, but capping it off by winning it in such a fashion is just like a chef's kiss. With that, they not only top Group 2 of the Super Sixes, but also continue their unbeaten run against Pakistan in the Under-19 World Cup since 2012. It is now confirmed that India will face Afghanistan in the second semifinal in Harare. On the other hand, Bulawayo will be treated to a mini Ashes as Australia will go up against England in the first semifinal. 
20:45 IST:
46.2: Khilan A. Patel to Huzaifa Ahsan, OUT! BOWLED 'EM! Khilan has hammered the final nail into the coffin.

19:48 IST:
30.5: Kanishk Chouhan to Ahmed Hussain, A sigh of relief for Usman! A flighted delivery outside off, it's pushed to the off side. This is for a tight single to the right of cover. Malhotra does brilliantly, scooping it up one-handed and throwing it to the keeper, who whips the stumps. Initially, it looked close, but the replays show the wicketkeeper’s gloves had begun dislodging the bails just as Khan was out of his ground. The next frame shows him back in, and the third umpire decides there isn’t conclusive evidence that the bail was completely removed while he was out of the crease. He’s deemed NOT OUT.
19:50 IST:
Is Usman run out? He tries to drag the bat in to complete the single, as the keeper collects the ball and whips the bails off. The leg side replay does not provide conclusive evidence. So the third umpire asks for another angle from the opposite side. Even that angle fails to provide certainty. Usman’s bat appears to be just short, but with no definitive evidence, the benefit of the doubt goes to the batter. NOT OUT flashes on the big screen.

India vs Pakistan live: Ambrish strikes for India

RS Ambrish has got the third wicket for India as he gets Pakistan captain Farhan Yousaf caught in the deep. He had added 63 runs for the third wicket off 76 balls. However, the partnership was not taking Pakistan towards a semi-final spot. Meanwile Usman Khan has continued his grinding innings as Pakistan aim to complete the chase in 50 overs.

IND vs PAK Live: Semi-final spot running away from Pakistan

Pakistan have not shown any urgency to chase down their target in 33.3 overs as they've scored at five runs per over so far. It seems as if the Men in Green are not bothered about the semi-final spot and just want to win the match to end their campaign on a high. If Pakistan don't chase down in 33.3 overs, they will get knocked out of the tournament, and India will qualify for semi final.

India vs Pakistan live: How can Pakistan knock out India?

In order to knock out India from the tournament and seal their place in the semi-final, Pakistan need to chase down their target of 253 in 33.3 overs. If they complete the chase any later than that, then India will qualify for the semi-final, even if Pakistan win the match. Hence, Pakistan are in desperate need to score quickly and complete the chase to stay alive in the tournament.

18:32 IST:
POWERPLAY 2! India will be allowed to field a maximum of four fielders outside the 30-yard circle in this 11-40 over phase. A pretty mixed bag first ten overs for India. They did manage to get rid of the dangerous Sameer Minhas, but these two have steadied the ship nicely for Pakistan. Also, a couple of dropped chances haven't helped India's cause either. But to qualify for the semis, Pakistan need 197 runs off 141 balls or fewer.

... THE RUN CHASE ...
17:37 IST:
The chase is on - Pakistan enters the chase with the emotional advantage, while India must now rely on their own bowlers to reclaim the clinical reputation they missed with the bat. However, to keep their semifinal hopes alive, Pakistan need to chase this target down inside 34 overs (33.3 overs or less to be precise). It is a tough task that awaits, but an exciting chase is on. Stay tuned.
17:29 IST:
Pakistan delivered a masterclass - Pakistani bowlers executed their plans with surgical precision, particularly in the death overs. When Khilan Patel and Kanishk Chouhan attempted a late-innings heist, Abdul Subhan returned to dismantle the tail, taking a couple of wickets in the final over to leave India 252 all out with a ball to spare. By restricting a notoriously deep batting lineup and keeping the run rate in check for the majority of the innings, they have effectively blown the game wide open, setting the stage for a dramatic chase.
17:31 IST:
Up for a quick chat - Vedant Trivedi says he tried to keep things simple, focusing on batting deep and rotating the strike rather than overthinking. He feels 252 is a good total, adding that the ball was not coming onto the bat easily on what he described as a slow and low surface. Trivedi also credits the support from VVS Laxman and Hrishikesh Kanitkar, saying he was encouraged to stick to his natural game, and details that he avoided doing anything out of the ordinary and took the innings as deep as possible.
17:26 IST:
Attempt to rescue the innings - The middle overs saw a period of consolidation as Vedant Trivedi attempted to rebuild the innings. Trivedi played a resilient knock, reaching a crucial half-century to anchor the side. However, just as the partnership looked set to accelerate, Ali Hasan Baloch broke through by dismissing Kundu. This wicket once again put the pressure back on India, as they looked to their lower order to push for a competitive total.
17:25 IST:
India struggled - India faced a shaky start to the disciplined Pakistan bowling attack. The opening pair provided a steady start, but the momentum shifted when the dangerous Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was dismissed for a brisk 30. Pakistan's bowlers capitalized on the breakthrough, with Mohammad Sayyam striking twice in quick succession to remove captain Ayush Mhatre for a duck and Aaron George for 16, leaving the Indian top order in a spot of bother.
17:07 IST:
Arch-rivals face off - A classic high-stakes encounter where momentum swung like a pendulum. India managed to post a total of 252, but it was far from the clinical performance they are known for. On the other side of the ball, Pakistan U19 will walk into the interval with their heads held high. Their bowlers executed their plans with precision, consistently hitting the right lengths and asking tough questions of the Indian batters. By restricting a deep batting lineup and keeping the run rate in check for the majority of the innings, they have effectively blown the game wide open.
17:06 IST:
49.5: Abdul Subhan to D. Deepesh, OUT! D. DEEPESH IS RUN OUT! Back of a length and slower outside off. Deepesh has a big swing and misses completely. Henil calls him through for a quick single but Deepesh is late to react. Henil is already more than halfway through, and eventually, Deepesh sets off to skate to the other end. Hamza Zahoor, the keeper, collects the ball by rushing forward and shows good game awareness.

IND vs PAK live score: Another one bites the dust

Another one bites the dust as RS Ambrish also fails to convert his start and gets outfoxed by a slower delivery. India are barely able to hold themselves together in the middle as wickets continue to tumble. India will now aim to bat out the 50 overs without having any specific target in mind.

16:34 IST:
Pakistan keep chipping away at the wickets. Into the tail of this Indian team now. In walks Khilan A. Patel at number 9. Batted very well against Zimbabwe, scoring a cameo of 30 from just 12 balls. Need to show the same kind of aggression to get his team to a sufficient total.

U19 World Cup live: India in deep trouble

India are in deep trouble here as Vendant Trivedi miscues a full toss from Momin Qamar and gets holed out inside the circle. A huge blow for India as Trivedi looked set to take the team to a respectable total. However, it would now be a herculean task for the Men in Blue to reach 250.

16:15 IST:
40.2: Momin Qamar to Vedant Trivedi, OUT! CAUGHT! This is a massive wicket for Pakistan, as they see the back of Trivedi. This is a full toss, on middle, above the waist of the batter. Vedant Trivedi walks down the track and tries to heave it across the line, but gets the connection from the upper part of the bat. The ball lobs and goes straight into the hands of Farhan Yousaf in the mid-wicket region. There's a long check for No Ball as the ball is above the waist of the batter, but also Trivedi is out of the crease. After careful consideration, the third umpire rules that the ball would have dipped below waist height had Trivedi stayed in his normal stance. Fair delivery, it is. Trivedi’s solid innings comes to an end, a well-compiled 68 off 98 balls.
16:16 IST:
Out? Or a No Ball? The third umpire is summoned to check for height. Vedant shimmied down the track to pull it over mid-wicket. He made contact with the ball above waist height, but the key question is whether it would have reached him above the waist in his normal stance or not. The third umpire doesn't think so and it is deemed a fair delivery. A massive wicket for Pakistan in the context of the game as OUT loads on the screen.
16:13 IST:
40.1: Momin Qamar to R.S. Ambrish, Short of a length, outside off, R.S. Ambrish slaps it to deep cover and gets a single. 
16:27 IST:
POWERPLAY 3! Pakistan continue to choke their arch-rivals for runs. India managed to score 132/2 in that 11-40 over phase, with 41/1 coming in the last 10 overs. From here on, Pakistan are allowed a maximum of five fielders outside the inner ring for the remainder of the innings. Pakistan would be too pleased if they manage to restrict India below the 250 mark.

IND vs PAK Live: Impressive from Vedant

Vedant Trivedi has brought up a well-paced fifty off 74 balls, anchoring India’s innings and keeping them in contention.

IND vs PAK live: Huge repreive for Kundu

Abhigyan Kundu has been handed a massive reprieve. Mohammad Sayyam found his outside edge and the keeper completed a straightforward catch, sparking wild celebrations.

However, replays revealed Sayyam had overstepped, turning it into a no-ball. To compound Pakistan’s frustration, Kundu made them pay, cracking a boundary off the ensuing free hit.

15:22 IST:
29.4: Mohammad Sayyam to Abhigyan Kundu, EDGED, TAKEN! But not out! A stroke of brilliance, followed by a slice of luck. Sayyam had the leap of joy as he found the edge, but he has overstepped here and it is called a No Ball. A big, big reprieve for Abhigyan Kundu on a nothing shot, truly. A good length delivery, wide outside off. Kundu pokes half-heartedly away from the body and nicks it, and it carries comfortably to Hamza Zahoor for a straightforward catch. Kundu is walking back to the dugout with his head down in dismay, but he is called back as it is a No Ball for overstepping. The replay shows that no part of Sayyam's boot is behind the crease. The plan nearly worked for Pakistan. What could have been a masterstroke in bringing back Sayyam to the attack turns out to be a huge let-off. A Free Hit to follow.

DRINKS BREAK! Despite India losing their top three inside the Powerplay, the pitch looks like a really decent one to bat on. It's just how brilliantly the Pakistani pacers, especially Mohammad Sayyam has bowled on this track. For now, this stand between Vihaan and Vedant has somewhat brought calm and composure. Exactly what India needs right now. Even if there are a few quiet overs, wickets in hand will always help to accelerate later on. For Pakistan, they would aim to dent India further in the middle over phase, which, has been a challenging one in this tournament. And they need to keep the foot pressed on the throats of the batters as they chase a big win. Ali Raza (4-0-31-0) is back on, replacing Mohammad Sayyam.

Without a doubt, Pakistan have raced away ahead in the game with three quick wickets. The opening partnership between Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Aaron George looked settled, but Mohammad Sayyam delivered a dream over to get his side on top. From an Indian perspective, this particular partnership holds a lot of importance to take the game deep. Now then, as the field spreads, Pakistan can have a maximum of 4 fielders outside the ring for the phase of 11-40 overs.

India are in deep trouble now

Three wickets in quick succession and India have suddenly been pushed into the danger zone. A stunning turnaround from Pakistan’s pace attack has flipped the script entirely.

That dismissal, though, was poor from Aaron George. No swing, no extra bounce — a delivery that should never have produced a wicket. Instead, it has handed Pakistan a huge confidence surge.

The sledging is already in full flow, and it tells its own story about how quickly the momentum has shifted.

13:46 IST:
47/0 becomes 47/3 for India. Pakistan have made some serious dent on this Indian top order. The centurion from the previous game, Vihaan Malhotra is in at number 5.
13:44 IST:
8.1: Abdul Subhan to Aaron George, OUT! BOWLED! That's a corker of a first delivery into the spell from Subhan. His joy knows no bounds. The Indian top order has been blown away in a flash. Over the wicket, a good length ball shaping in towards the off stump. George offers a straight bat in defence, but plays the initial line. The ball shapes away a bit and sneaks past the outside edge and clips the top of off. Aaron George falls for 16 (25).
13:43 IST:

But wait, the third umpire is called in to check the front foot No Ball. It is razor close. And yes, there is some part of the boot behind the line at the point of first contact.

IND vs PAK Live: Pure chaos from Pakistan

Pakistan have pulled off a classic Pakistan!

A catch dropped and then a complete mess up of a clear run-out chance. The Pakistan fielders were looking clueless after that mistake, and you can be pretty sure that it is the same reaction that the fans must be having. 

But Vaibhav Suryavanshi needs to be careful now.

13:38 IST:
7.3: Mohammad Sayyam to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, HIGH UP... DROPPED! Chance of a run out, missed! Absolute chaos in the middle. Hard length, on off, climbing on the batter. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi badly miscues the pull shot straight up the chimney off the top edge. The ball hangs up in the air for an eternity over mid-wicket. The fielder circles under it, but never really settles and drops the catch. Vaibhav rushes for the single, but George denies it. Seeing Sooryavanshi halfway down the track, the fielder Huzaifa, shows a good presence of mind and throws it to the batting end. But the keeper is a bit late to rush forward and before he collects the ball, Vaibhav gets home.

IND vs PAK Live: Vaibhav Suryavanshi lets loose

Vaibhav Suryavanshi is finally settling in at the crease.

His game looks easy to map out on paper — attack his body and he goes quiet, miss the length and he makes you pay — yet containing his range is anything but simple.

PITCH REPORT - Rohan Gavaskar and Ed Rainsford are pitchside with their analysis. Gavaskar points the weather conditions are excellent with very little chance of rain. Ed Rainsford joins him and shares that this game will be played on pitch number 6 instead of pitch number 3, a change, he shares, made after the curators had to put in extra work on the surface to keep it fresh. He also points out that runs can be scored and defended here, highlighting England’s successful defence of 234 at the venue. Ed also highlights that the seamers have dominated proceedings so far, picking up close to 75 percent of the wickets. The most challenging phase, he explains, is between overs 11 and 40, where the run rate drops significantly under 5s. Says this makes the new ball period crucial for batters to take their chances early. Further adds that with wickets in hand, the backend of the innings offers an opportunity to accelerate. Rohan details that while there is assistance for the seamers, teams that work hard can score freely, with a touch of spin likely to come into play as the match progresses.

The captain of India - Ayush Mhatre says they would have preferred to bat first. He adds that the boys are doing well and the side is feeling confident heading into the contest.

On the team news, he shares that Udhav Mohan misses out, with D. Deepesh coming into the XI.

The captain of Pakistan - Farhan Yousaf says there is a bit of moisture in the surface and he expects the bowling unit to make the most of it. With this being a new venue, he adds that the team has prepared well and feels there is not a big difference between the two grounds they have played at. He is pleased with the efforts of the bowlers and fielders so far and backs his unit to deliver again. Yousaf stresses that the focus is on playing a good game rather than worrying about margins.
