India U19 vs Pakistan U19: ICC U19 World Cup 2026 Super Sixes, Match 12 This blockbuster clash pits India U19 against Pakistan U19 in the Super Sixes stage of the ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup 2026. Scheduled for February 1, 2026, at 9:30 AM local time (1:00 PM IST) at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, it’s a do-or-die encounter for semi-final hopes.
The Queens Sports Club pitch has shown bowler-friendly traits lately, offering help to pacers early on and spinners in the middle overs, though India smashed 352 against Zimbabwe here recently. Expect clear skies, sunny conditions, and temperatures around 28°C with no rain interruptions for a full match.
With England already through from Group 2, India (6 points, NRR +3.337) just needs a win to advance, while Pakistan (4 points, NRR +1.484) must chase a big victory to overtake on net run rate. The rivalry adds fire—Pakistan thrashed India by 191 runs in the U19 Asia Cup final last December, but India won their group-stage meeting by 90 runs.
India U19 topped Group A unbeaten and eased past Sri Lanka in semis, carrying momentum into Super Sixes with dominant wins like against Zimbabwe. Pakistan bounced back strongly, beating New Zealand by 8 wickets in their Super Six opener, showing resilience after group stage.

Probable XIs
India U19: Aaron George, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Ayush Mhatre (c), Vihaan Malhotra, Abhigyan Kundu (wk), Vedant Trivedi, Kanishk Chouhan, RS Ambrish, Khilan Patel, Henil Patel, Udhav Mohan.
Pakistan U19: Farhan Yousaf (c), Usman Khan, Sameer Minhas, Ahmed Hussain, Hamza Zahoor (wk), Ali Hasan Baloch, Mohammad Sayyam, Ali Raza, Abdul Subhan, Momin Qamar, Niqab Shafiq.
India U19 Analysis
India’s batting depth shines with openers Vaibhav Sooryavanshi (166 runs, 2 fifties) and Aaron George setting aggressive tones, backed by Vihaan Malhotra’s unbeaten 109 vs Zimbabwe and keeper Abhigyan Kundu’s 183 runs. Bowling relies on Henil Patel (10+ wickets, econ 4.4) and Udhav Mohan for breakthroughs, though middle-order collapses remain a weakness against pace attacks like Pakistan’s.
Pakistan U19 Analysis
Pakistan’s top order, led by Sameer Minhas (720 runs in 10 inns, including 172 vs India), Usman Khan, and Ahmed Hussain, piles pressure with big scores. Their bowling spearhead Ali Raza (16 wickets in 5 matches, econ 4.04) dismantled India recently, supported by Abdul Subhan (econ 3.12), but batting fragility if Minhas fails could hurt on this pitch.
India holds the edge with superior form, higher NRR buffer, and batting firepower suited to chase on this surface, though Pakistan’s bowling threat keeps it close—expect India to edge a tense thriller by 20-30 runs or 5 wickets.
