India U-19 will lock horns with South Africa U-19 in the first Youth ODI of the three-match series at the Willowmoore Park in Benoni on January 3, 2026.
Just before the ICC U-19 World Cup, starting from January 15, this series serves as perfect preparation for both teams. Vaibhav Suryavashi will lead India in the series as Ayush Mhatre will miss the series due to a wrist injury.
Muhammad Bulbulia led South Africa, which also possesses a strong squad and will also enter the series to fine-tune their combination before the marquee tournament.
The U-19 World Cup will be played in Zimbabwe and Namibia, and these conditions are the closest India could get to prepare for the tournament.
