Mere proceedings remain in the match and India are near another final. Aaron George should be able to get to his 100.
India U19 vs Afghanistan U19 LIVE
04/02/2026 19:16
Vihaan Malhotra has shown positive intent. India are well ahead of the game and will want to keep their foot on the gas. There's no point in slowing or batting carefully and give Afghanistan an outside chance.

04/02/2026 19:03
Ayush Mhatre falls finally. He is out for 62 from 59 as Osman takes a brilliant catch running backwards.

Ashwin back Mhatre
Volume of runs may be low, but Ayush Mhatre looks in fine touch.

Intent monster, another confident start, and batting like he has been fine form all along.
Quality talent, no doubt. 👌#under19worldcup pic.twitter.com/JfNyLdvn2G

India U19 vs Afghanistan U19 LIVE score: 50 for Aaron
04/02/2026 18:43
Aaron has played beautifully here and has slammed his maiden 50 of the tournament. Needs to stay there till the very end.

04/02/2026 18:35
This partnership is growing in a solid fashion. It is over 50 and looks good for more. No troubles for Mhatre and Aaron George for now.
India U19 vs Afghanistan U19 LIVE score: George solid
04/02/2026 18:27
Aaron George looks like a solid player. He didn't have a great tournament until now, but if he can stay here till the very end, he could be in some kind of reckoning.
India U19 vs Afghanistan U19 LIVE score: Wickets needed
04/02/2026 18:15
This is not great bowling, or let us just say, it is a graveyard wicket for the bowlers. Nothing seems to be coming for the team.
India U19 vs Afghanistan U19 LIVE score: Wickets needed
04/02/2026 18:08
The only way Afghanistan can hope of winning is, by picking up wickets. India has a long line up and if they add another 50-60 by the 20th over, it will be all over.
India U19 vs Afghanistan U19 LIVE score: IND in command
04/02/2026 17:56
Even though Sooryavanshi has deparated, but he has given the platform to others to capitalise. India can take their time in the chase now.
India U19 vs Afghanistan U19 LIVE score: No mercy
04/02/2026 17:35
Sooryavanshi and George are unstopplable at the moment. If these two stay around for 10 overs now, they would take the team close to 150. That would be point of no return. 50 for Sooryanshi in 24 deliveries.
India U19 vs Afghanistan U19 LIVE score: Dropped
04/02/2026 17:28
Uzair has dropped Sooryavanshi. And that is going to be costly miss here. That is the only wicket AFG needed here. A good over from Aziz comes to an end.

04/02/2026 17:20
Team India need to target one of the two bowlers, or else it will get really difficult for them. Another four to Aaron.

04/02/2026 17:17
Wahidullah comes into the attack with his off spinners. Sooryavanshi is away now.
India U19 vs Afghanistan U19 LIVE score: Good start
04/02/2026 17:13
Even though Aziz conceded a boundary on the first ball, but the bowler comes up with a decent over overall. Just six runs from it.
India U19 vs Afghanistan U19 LIVE score: All eyes on Sooryavanshi
04/02/2026 17:09
Aaron George and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi start the proceedings for India, and it will be hard task. The pitch is good for batting though.
India U19 vs Afghanistan U19 LIVE score: Innings over
04/02/2026 16:41
That is it. It is an excellent innings that comes to an end as they score over 300. After 40 overs it looked unlikely that they would reach that mark, but all the credit goes to Faisal and Uzair. He too gets to his 100.
India U19 vs Afghanistan U19 LIVE score: Approaching 300
04/02/2026 16:27
Uzair has reached his 90s here. India really now need to bat out of their skin to get to the target.

04/02/2026 16:13

04/02/2026 16:11
Runs are coming thick and fast here. Uzairullah is also reaching his ton now, and the run-rate is coming close to 6.
India U19 vs Afghanistan U19 LIVE score: 100 for Faisal
04/02/2026 15:54
Excellent ton for batter Shinozada. He is already the highest run-getter in the touranament, and it is his 2nd in as many games. Well done.
India U19 vs Afghanistan U19 LIVE score: Aggression needed
04/02/2026 15:45
Another over gone and Afghanistan really need to up the ante. Faisal has been doing bulk of the scoring here, but they need sixes and fours.
India U19 vs Afghanistan U19 LIVE score: Henil Patel now
04/02/2026 15:38
Strike bowler Henil is back into the attack. Can he produce just one wicket here? 270 should be good enough on this wicket.
India U19 vs Afghanistan U19 LIVE score: India need wickets
04/02/2026 15:29
This is turning out to be an excellent partnership for the Afghanistanis. Added 59 runs already. A wicket needs to come from somewhere.
India U19 vs Afghanistan U19 LIVE score: Mhatre now
04/02/2026 15:23
Ayush Mhatre comes into the attack now. He has a knack of picking wickets. 7 runs come from the over here.
India U19 vs Afghanistan U19 LIVE score: Faisal dangerous
04/02/2026 15:15
Team India cannot get complacent here. Once the total touches 250, they will start to feel the pinch. India need wickets.
India U19 vs Afghanistan U19 LIVE score: 300?
04/02/2026 15:10
Can Afghanistan get to 300 here? If yes, then they can put some pressure on the Indian team. The top order has looked fragile and the form of Ayush Mhatre is a big concern.
India U19 vs Afghanistan U19 LIVE score: Fifty for Faisal
04/02/2026 14:54
Faisal Shinozada reaches his half-century off 49 deliveries as he continues on his red-hot form and torments the India U19 bowlers. He is the 2nd leading run-getter in U19 World Cup 2026 with over 380 runs to his name

India U19 vs Afghanistan U19 LIVE: India head coach speaks
04/02/2026 12:58
"The boys are really talented, they come prepared and stuff like that, but they're not really used to this bigger stage (playing in the WC). It's a step up, international cricket. (on the coaching philosophy) It's something where people like me can contribute very well. So it's all about the process and what process works for them, being aware of what works for them and they need to continue that because as they go higher up, there are many more distractions, doubts that many more people talking to you about the game, about everything else. So they need to stick to the process, be focused on what works for them. (on the team management) They totally do because both of these guys (Sunil Joshi and VVS Laxman) are very approachable and they are open to anybody who wants to talk anything about cricket. We all make it easy for the boys to just come over and talk to us," Hrishikesh Kanitkar said.
