Good Morning Folks. Welcome to our dedicated live coverage of the ICC U-19 Cricket World Cup 2026 from Namibia and Zimbabwe. In this blog, we will be covering the Super 6 - match number 35 between Afghanistan and Ireland at the Harare Sports Club. This is a must win game for the Asian outfit, who are currently sitting third in Group 1 with 4 points. They are 2 points behind 2nd placed Sri Lanka, who are also effectively in the race for a spot in the semis. Afghanistan have no choice but to win this game at any cost and hope for the net run-rate to remain positive. The Afghans have +1.020 while the Lankans have a much poorer rate of -0.113 with 6 points. Not much for Ireland to do as they are already out of the tournament. Follow along for the real-time updates, live scores and more.
