India vs Afghanistan U19 World Cup Semi-Final Live Streaming: The stage is set at the Harare Sports Club as the Ayush Mhatre-led India U19 side takes on a spirited Afghanistan U19 in the second semi-final of the ICC Under-19 World Cup 2026.
India, the most successful team in the tournament’s history with five titles, enters this knockout clash as the favourites, remaining unbeaten throughout the group stages and Super Sixes. The Boys in Blue recently secured their spot after a clinical 58-run victory over arch-rivals Pakistan, fuelled by the explosive start of Vaibhav Suryavanshi and the consistent middle-order anchor, Abhigyan Kundu.
Standing in their way is an Afghanistan side that has become the “giant-killers” of the 2026 edition. Led by Mahboob Khan, the Afghan colts have stunned the cricketing world by finishing ahead of traditional powerhouses like Sri Lanka in the Super Six table on Net Run Rate.
Their bowling attack, spearheaded by the lethal pace of Nooristani and the disciplined spin of Wahidullah Zadran, has proven difficult to navigate on the abrasive Harare tracks. This match represents a historic opportunity for Afghanistan to reach their first-ever U19 World Cup final, while India seeks to extend their era of dominance.
