India beat South Africa by eight wickets in second Youth ODI
Vaibhav Suryavanshi hit a 24-ball 68 in previous game
Match not to be streamed on Star Sports, but on Cricket South Africa's YouTube channel
Having already clinched the series, India Colts will eye a 3-0 sweep when they take the field against South Africa in the third and final Youth ODI at Willowmoore Park, Benoni on Wednesday (January 7, 2026). Watch the 50-over cricket match live.
On Monday, skipper Vaibhav Suryavanshi had struck a blazing 24-ball 68, studded with 10 sixes, as the Blue Colts thrashed the Proteas by eight wickets in the rain-hit second Youth ODI. The visitors thus took an unassailable 2-0 lead.
For a second time in the series, the contest was hit by bad weather as the game was delayed for a considerable time due to lightning, and the target for the Indian side was revised to 174 off 27 overs. India U-19 were 115 for two in 12.5 overs when a lightning threat halted play. The match resumed, and India U-19 eventually reached 176 for two in 23.3 overs.
India had earlier won the first Youth ODI by 25 runs via DLS Method.
While weather in South Africa has been rainy overall, the forecast for Wednesday in Benoni is fairly encouraging, and we could possibly have an uninterrupted game, the last one in the Blue Colts' white-ball tour.
