The ICC Under-19 Men’s Cricket World Cup 2026 gets underway on Thursday, with the opening clash featuring India U19 against USA U19 at Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo. The 16-team tournament, running until early February and hosted jointly by Zimbabwe and Namibia, will showcase the next generation of international cricketers and set the tone for a highly anticipated global event.

India, who are the most successful team ever in the history of the tournament with five titles, arrive as one of the pre-tournament favourites, buoyed by strong recent form.

In their lead-up to the World Cup, the Ayush Mhatre-led side recorded commanding results, including a comprehensive 3-0 Youth ODI series sweep against South Africa U19. In that series, star opening batter Vaibhav Suryavanshi was the leading run scorer with 206 runs from three innings. Meanwhile, left-arm seamer Kishan Kumar Singh was the highest wicket-taker with seven scalps. The series also helped young Indian players acclimatize to conditions as pitches in South Africa and Zimbabwe are quite similar.

The side had a wonderful campaign at the ACC Men's U19 Asia Cup 2025. The side won all their group games as well as the semi-final game against Sri Lanka. However, in the final against Pakistan, the law of averages came to haunt them and the Indian boys lost the final by 191 runs. Notably, India U19 had earlier defeated Pakistan U19 in the group stages. It is worth mentioning that in one of the group games against UAE U19, India scored a mammoth 433-6 in 50 overs.

Historically, India U19 have lifted the World Cup trophy in 2000, 2008, 2012, 2018 and 2022. In the last edition in 2024 in South Africa, the side was the runner-up as they lost in the final to Australia. Ahead of this edition of the World Cup, India played two warm-up games. The side won their first game against Scotland U19, however, they lost the other one against England U19.

Their preparation highlights depth across departments, with the batting unit posting consistent totals and the bowlers maintaining pressure through disciplined spells. India’s squad for the World Cup features a balanced mix of technically sound top-order batters, adaptable middle-order players and a varied bowling attack that combines pace, swing and spin. Strong fielding and game awareness have traditionally been hallmarks of Indian U19 sides, and those traits will again be central to their campaign.

For USA U19, the opening match represents a significant milestone. They qualified for the World Cup after winning the Americas regional Qualifier held in Atlanta in August 2025. This is the fourth time that USA have qualified for the U19 CWC. They made their debut in the 2006 edition in Sri Lanka, then in 2010 in New Zealand and after that, they had to wait for 14 years before returning in the 2024 edition in South Africa.

The Utkarsh Srivastava-led side will be aiming to keep the contest tight in the early stages, focusing on controlled batting and accurate bowling against a powerful Indian line-up. For many of their players, the match offers invaluable exposure to elite-level opposition and the pressures of a global tournament.

Apart from Utkarsh, the side has some more talented players like keeper-batter Arjun Mahesh and opening batter Amrinder Gill, who scored a ton in a warm-up game against Zimbabwe U19 ahead of this World Cup.
