India U19 (IND U19) will square off against Pakistan U19 (PAK U19) in Match No. 12 of the Super Six at the ICC U19 World Cup 2026 at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo on Sunday, February 1. With England already in a strong position to seal a semi-final berth, this clash is likely to decide the final spot in the last four.

India has had a brilliant campaign so far. They topped their group with three straight wins, beating USA, Bangladesh, and New Zealand despite rain interruptions, and carried that momentum into the Super Six with a dominant 204-run victory over hosts Zimbabwe. Sitting on six points with a positive net run rate of 3.337, India will look to play in the same manner.

Meanwhile, Pakistan’s stint has been impressive. After losing to England in the group stage, they bounced back strongly with wins over Scotland and Zimbabwe, before beating New Zealand convincingly in the Super Six. With four points and a lower net run rate, Pakistan need a big win to keep their campaign alive. Notably, Pakistan defeated India in the U19 Asia Cup final last month.

The surface at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo is preferred by the pacers. With a past pitch, the batters would look to stay wary in the early stages of the clash. Opting to bowl first after winning the toss could be a wise decision.

Sameer Minhas, Hamza Zahoor(w), Usman Khan, Ahmed Hussain, Farhan Yousaf(c), Huzaifa Ahsan, Mohammad Shayan, Abdul Subhan, Momin Qamar, Mohammad Sayyam, Ali Raza

India U19 batter Abhigyan Kundu could be the best batter in the upcoming game against Pakistan U19. In the three innings, the southpaw has scored 183 runs at an average of 91.50 and a strike rate of 85.11. Kundu is coming off a match-winning 61 against Zimbabwe U19. He will be running high on confidence and will look to play in the same manner as he has been.

Pakistan U19's pacer Ali Raza is currently the second-highest wicket-taker of the tournament, with 12 wickets in four innings. Raza's 10-over spell will be extremely crucial for Pakistan, and they will be hoping that he picks wickets at regular intervals against arch-rivals India.
