The stage is set for a mega clash between the India U19 and England U19 teams for the U19 World Cup 2026 Final. The mega fixture is scheduled for February 6 at the Harare Sports Club in Harare and is set to begin at 1:00 PM IST.
The Super Sixes Group 2 form from the India team, led by Ayush Mhatre, was scintillating. The boys in Blue didn't let down as they remained on an unbeaten streak and qualified for the Final with an Afghanistan U19 victory in the semi-final.
England, meanwhile, has also been at their top form with an unbeaten streak. Ben Mayes is their top scorer of the tournament with 399 runs from 6 matches. Manny Lumsden is the top wicket-taker with England, having all-around strength ready to challenge India.
With the battle of high stakes ready to go down, England face the five-time champions with a strong unit as they themselves aim for their second win of the trophy.

IND vs ENG: Key player battles
Vaibhav Suryavanshi vs Farhan Ahmed
Vaibhav Suryavanshi played a breathtaking innings of 68 off just 33 balls against Afghanistan. His ultra-aggressive approach will be tested by Farhan Ahmed, who bowled a full, disciplined 10 overs against Australia. Farhan’s ability to control the middle overs could be England’s best chance to quieten Vaibhav’s explosive intent.
Ayush Mhatre vs Sebastian Morgan
India’s captain Ayush Mhatre anchored the middle period with a mature 62 off 59 balls after Vaibhav’s departure, building crucial partnerships. He will likely face Sebastian Morgan, England’s most economical and threatening seamer in the semi-final. Morgan’s tight lines and wicket-taking ability in the middle overs make this a key contest for control of the innings.
Thomas Rew vs Deepesh Devendran
England captain and wicket-keeper Thomas Rew carried his team with a high-quality 110 off 107 balls against Australia. Deepesh Devendran was India’s most effective bowler in the semi-final and he could be vital in dislodging the well-set Rew if England bat first or need stability in a chase.

India U19 vs England U19 toss prediction
The Harare Sports Club has produced moderate totals in the ICC Men’s Under-19 World Cup 2026, with average scores hovering between 245 and 250, suggesting a surface that favours bowlers. However, the IND vs AFG semi-final saw 300+ scores.
Nevertheless, as the match progresses, the pitch offers more assistance to spinners, making stroke play increasingly difficult. As a result, captains winning the toss are likely to bat first to make the most of the better batting conditions early on.

IND vs ENG Match Winner Prediction: Who Will Win The Final?
In the head-to-head segment, the India U19 team dominated England by a huge margin, where the Boys in Blue have defeated the Lions 41 times out of 55 ODI matches. Hence, the confidence is rooted with Mhatre & Co.
While England will be looking to give a tough challenge, with Indian players in solid form with an unbeaten streak in the tournament, they remain the favourites to win the Final and lift the U19 World Cup 2026.
