Such a shameful defeat would not have been seen in the semi-finals, Team India defeated Pakistan.

IND U19 vs PAK U19: The India-Pakistan match in the ICC Under-19 World Cup 2026 has once again become the center of discussion. Even though this match was not going to change the picture of knockout, but India showed such dominance on the field that this defeat became very embarrassing for Pakistan. In this match played at Queens Sports Club in Zimbabwe, India clearly showed its strength by defeating Pakistan by 58 runs.

Pakistan was already out of the semi-finals

The special thing was that even before this match, Pakistan was out of the race for the semi-finals. Whereas the Indian Under-19 team had already confirmed its place in the last four. Despite this, Pakistan had a chance to save its honour, but the team could not live up to that.

India’s batting

For Pakistan, the decision to bowl first after winning the toss did not prove effective. The start of the Indian team was also not special, but the middle order took the responsibility. Vedant Trivedi played the most important inning of 68 runs. Apart from them, Kanishk Chauhan scored 35 runs and Vaibhav Suryavanshi took the score forward by scoring 30 runs. The entire Indian team was all out for 252 runs in 49.5 overs. For Pakistan, Abdul Subhan took 3 wickets, while Mohammad Syam got 2 wickets.

The target seemed easy, then the match turned upside down

Pakistan had to score 253 runs in 33.3 overs to keep the semi-final hopes alive. Seeing the beginning, it seemed that they could get closer to this goal. Till 151 runs, only three wickets had fallen for Pakistan and the run rate was also under control. However, the story changed from here.

Tremendous comeback by Indian bowlers

Indian bowlers suddenly tightened the noose on the match. Pakistan’s batsmen came under pressure and the process of falling wickets started. The last 7 batsmen of the Pakistan team returned to the pavilion in just 43 runs. The entire Pakistani team was all out on a shameful score of 194 runs in 46.2 overs.
