IND vs NZ Under 19 World Cup 2026 Live Score: The first innings resumed at 4:00 PM, and India will look to maintain their control. Earlier, Rain stopped play as New Zealand reached 17/3 in 7.1 overs against India in the U19 World Cup in Bulawayo. R Ambrish struck twice, removing Hugo Bogue (4) and New Zealand skipper Tom Jones (2) early. Meanwhile, Henil Patel got Aryan Mann's wicket. The match was delayed by rain and reduced to 47 overs. India won the toss and opted to field. India have already qualified for the next stage of the U19 World Cup being played in Zimbabwe and Namibia, and head into the last match of the group stage without too much jeopardy on their position in the tournament. The same is true for New Zealand, their opponents on the day, who have seen both their earlier contests rained out – two no-results enough to take them through. For the Kiwi youngsters, time in the middle will be integral. However, Bulawayo seems set up for another day of stop-start action, with plenty of rain on the forecast. Neither team will be too hopeful, but any cricket will be a bonus with the next stage tied up. If we do get some action, will it be time for Vaibhav Suryavanshi to come alive in the tournament?...Read More

IND vs NZ Under 19 World Cup 2026 Live Score: There it is! Good bowling from Ambrish, finds his line and length well. Too close to Bogue for a cut shot, and he's cramped up; edge flies throigh head high for Kundu to collect, having come in a step or two. Nicely taken by the keeper.

5/1.

IND vs NZ Under 19 World Cup 2026 Live Score: Ayush Mhatre needs runs

IND vs NZ Under 19 World Cup 2026 Live Score: Let's preview some crucial aspects of this game. While Vaibhav Suryavanshi got a half-century under his belt against Bangladesh, his opening partner and captain Ayush Mhatre has had a rough time of it, not particularly enjoying life of late as runs seem to have deserted him. If we do get action today, nobody needs runs as much as he does, leading this team.
