India sealed a place in the final with a dominant seven-wicket win over Afghanistan in the previous match. Led by Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s rapid 68, before Aaron George’s wonderful century (115 off 104), India chased down a target of 311 – the highest successful chase in the tournament’s history.

As a result, the junior side led by Ayush Mhatre sealed a place in the decider for a record 10th time. India won the U19 World Cup five times – in 2000, 2008, 2012, 2018, and 2022 – and will be looking to add to that tally.

England, like their opponents India, have also been undefeated in the tournament. They edged Australia by 27 runs in the semi-final, with captain Thomas Rew standing out with a hundred (110 off 107). The Three Lions have won this tournament only once, back in 1998, and will be looking for their second title.

India vs England, ICC U19 Cricket World Cup 2026 Final: Captains Said

Ayush Mhatre (IND U19): “We will bat first. It looks like a very good pitch, little bit hard and we will try to put up a good target. It (semifinal pitch) was a really batting pitch, so the boys also played really well and they showed good batsmanship, so that was nice for us. We’ll just play our natural game and keep it simple. Not to complicate things, just play our cricket.”

Thomas Rew (ENG U19): “We were looking to bowl first, actually. We know it’s a good wicket and it’s going to stay pretty good throughout the day. So, yeah, we feel like it’s a good chasing around… It all looks nice and fresh and, yeah, we’re ready to go. But I think it’s just how quickly we can adapt to these conditions. Obviously, slightly different, but we think it’s going to be a good surface… We’ve just taken all the pressure off the boys and said just go and play with freedom. Do what we’ve done so well this tournament, play our game and, yeah, go and enjoy it.”
