India are on the verge of history as they face England in the final of the ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup 2026 at the Harare Sports Club on Friday, February 6, 2026. The Boys in Blue are chasing an unprecedented sixth title, with England looking for their second win in the tournament after almost three decades.
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.
