India vs Bangladesh, U19 World Cup LIVE Score: Abhigyan Kundu registered a half-century.

Earlier, Al Fahad struck twice, removing India captain Ayush Mhatre for 6 and Vedant Trivedi for a duck in back-to-back deliveries, giving Bangladesh control and putting India under pressure. Earlier, after a brief delay, Bangladesh won the toss and opted to bowl, with the two captains choosing not to shake hands. Expect tensions to rise, sparks to flow, and some exchanges as the two Asian teams collide in this renewed rivalry. In 2020, Bangladesh beat India – the team starring Yashasvi Jaiswal – in the final to win their first-ever World Cup in any form of cricket. During and after the game, players from both teams had a verbal go at each other, with scenes that quickly turned ugly. And with relations between the two nations – cricket and otherwise – going south, only a miracle can make this contest ‘just another game’. (Follow FULL SCORECARD here)

IND vs BAN U19 World Cup LIVE: Has Vaibhav Suryavanshi outgrown Under-19?
IND vs BAN U19 World Cup LIVE: After a breakout year in 2025 that saw him shatter multiple batting records, Vaibhav Suryavanshi has headed into the 2026 World Cup with almost a guarantee that it’s only a matter of time before an India call-up graces him. Of course, he is still only 14, and turns 15 in the middle of the next IPL, and a lot can happen between now and the next couple of years. But a refreshing take from WV Raman – the former India batter and head coach of the women’s team, suggests that Suryavanshi playing Under-19 is ‘detrimental to his growth’. Is it so? Would it not be a good idea to try the youngster more in domestic cricket? He has already played scintillating knocks in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, Ranji Trophy and the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Hence, Under-19, let alone a World Cup, has divided opinions.

IND vs BAN U19 World Cup LIVE: India DOMINATES Bangladesh
While India’s domination of Bangladesh in senior men’s cricket is no surprise, with the Men in Blue leading 69-9 across ODIs, Tests and T20Is combined, the youngsters aren’t far behind. In Under-19 cricket, India and Bangladesh have squared off 21 times, with India winning 14 and one match ending in a no-result. India beat Bangladesh by 84 runs at the 2024 Under-19 World Cup and, before that, by five wickets to reach the semi-final.

IND vs BAN U19 World Cup LIVE: Meet the other stars of India’s Under-19 World Cup campaign
Move over Vaibhav Suryavanshi! This Indian team isn’t a one-player wonder. But if Suryavanshi is the butcher, his captain, Ayush Mhatre, is the surgeon. Has no fear, bats with control. Abhigyan Kundu is India’s version of Yuvraj Singh, who can be steady in case of a collapse and switch gears when quick runs are needed. Kanishk Chauhan is another exciting prospect with the bat, while D Deepesh and Henil Patel have already shown what they’re capable of with the new ball. If you want to know more about them, read on.

IND vs BAN U19 World Cup LIVE: Vaibhav Suryavanshi has yet to fire against Bangladesh
You heard it! Vaibhav Suryavanshi has faced Bangladesh twice in his young career – once in the Youth Asia Cup semifinal and then in the Under-19 Asia Cup final. And in both games, Suryavanshi couldn’t really explode, scoring 38 and 9, respectively. Suryavanshi loves facing pace early on. Once he gets his eye in, spinners become a cakewalk. If it’s the other way around, however, the opposition has found a way to keep him quieter. Having bludgeoned bowling attacks in Australia, England and most recently, South Africa, is Bangladesh next on Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s hitlist.
