The high-stakes rivalry between India and Pakistan ignited the ICC Men's Under-19 Cricket World Cup in Zimbabwe earlier today. India’s youth squad secured a dominant 58-run victory over Pakistan at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo, keeping their unbeaten streak in the tournament alive.

India’s middle order anchored the innings, setting a challenging target that the Pakistani batting line-up struggled to chase under the pressure of a disciplined Indian spin attack. The Indian bowlers took key wickets in the powerplay, never allowing Pakistan to gain the required momentum.

This win is a significant morale booster for the defending champions as they head into the knockout stages. For Pakistan, the loss means they must win their remaining group matches with a high net run rate to ensure a safe passage to the semi-finals.
