Dominance defined India’s batting in the Under-19 World Cup 2026 summit clash, powered by Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s breathtaking 175, as they amassed 411/9 against England in Harare. Captain Ayush Mhatre’s toss win and batting choice sparked a run-fest in pursuit of title number six.
The innings kicked off shakily at 20/1 (Aaron George 9). Suryavanshi and Mhatre then erupted for 142 off 90 balls, propelling to 162. Mhatre departed for 53 (51b, 7×4, 2×6).
Pairing with Vedant Trivedi next, Suryavanshi engineered 89 runs in 39 balls before holing out on 175 (80b, 15×4, 15×6). The middle order, led by Trivedi and Vihaan Malhotra’s 51, crossed 300 comfortably.
Down to 308/5, Abhijnan Kundu unleashed 40 (31b, 6×4, 1×6) in a 51-run stand with RS Ambrish (18). Kanishk Chauhan’s explosive unbeaten 37 (20b, 3×4, 1×6) in the death overs cemented the massive total.
England’s attack was spearheaded by James Minto (3 wkts), with Sebastian Morgan, Alex Green grabbing two apiece, and Manny Lumsden one. India holds the aces now in this high-stakes finale.
