India vs Zimbabwe Highlights, U-19 World Cup 2026: Bowlers, Vihaan Malhotra's Ton Help India Beat Zimbabwe By 204 Runs

India U19 steamroll to the top of the points table, crushing opponents by a whopping 204 runs in a dominant display.

A spinning delivery by Khilan Patel finds its way through Blignaut's defence, knocking over the stumps. The Zimbabwe batter's patient 37 (73) comes to an end.

20 overs in, Zimbabwe's chase inches along. Chiwaula and Blignaut are near a 50-run stand, slowing the loss of wickets.

Ambrish strikes early! A superb inswinger traps Zimbabwe opener Nathaniel Hlabangana LBW, and the umpire doesn't hesitate.

A hundred to savour for the young and bright Vihaan Malhotra, who rescued the Indian innings along with Abhigyan Kundu. Both achieved significant milestones as India finished on 352 for 8 after 50 overs.

A stellar hundred from the young Vihaan Malhotra has taken India past 330. Last over left in the innings.

Abhigyan Kundu falls on 61. Important knock in the context of the match. A 113-run stand between Abhigyan and Vihaan comes to an end. IND 245/5 (36)

After encountering back to back blows, Vihaan and Abhigyan are taking the game forward with a healthy partnership. Not many boundaries are coming but the scorecard is moving effectively with singles and doubles.

Zimbabwe strikes twice in an eventful over! Tatenda Chimugoro's clever bowling gets Vaibhav Sooryavanshi out, and it's a soft dismissal! Tatenda Chimugoro ends the crucial partnership. Ayush Mhatre (52) tries to hit big but ends up edging it straight to the wicketkeeper.

Panashe Mazai strikes for Zimbabwe. Aaron George, who was looking class apart in this innings so far, loses his patience and throws away his wicket. 

It is interesting to note that Aaron George is not looking to anchor the innings alongside Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. He is taking the Zimbabwe bowlers head on with his knock.

Exactly the kind of start expected by the two young Indian batters. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi looked a bit tentative on the first delivery but has made his intentions clear.
