U19 Cricket World Cup: The Indian men's U19 team maintained its winning run in the 2026 ICC Men’s U19 Cricket World Cup with a seven‑wicket win over New Zealand in a rain‑affected group stage match at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, on Saturday.

Asked to bat first, New Zealand faltered early as pacer R.S. Ambrish struck twice in quick succession on his way to finishing with figures of 4-29. Henil Patel also took three wickets as New Zealand were bowled out for 135.

Despite losing Aaron George for seven, India’s chase was steady. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi made 40 off 23 balls, and captain Ayush Mhatre struck 53 off 27 deliveries to put their side in control, before Vihaan Malhotra (17 not out) and Vedant Trivedi (13 not out) guided them home.
