Overview
- India defended a revised target to win by 18 runs via DLS in Bulawayo, bowling Bangladesh out for 146 after posting 238 in a rain‑reduced 49‑over innings.
- Vaibhav Suryavanshi, aged 14 years and 296 days, struck 72 off 67 to become the youngest half‑centurion in U19 World Cup history.
- Suryavanshi also crossed 1,000 Youth ODI runs during the innings and moved past Virat Kohli on India’s all‑time Youth ODI run list.
- Abhigyan Kundu’s 80 and a 62‑run stand with Suryavanshi rebuilt India before Bangladesh pacer Al Fahad claimed 5 for 38 to limit the total.
- Chasing a DLS target of 165 in 29 overs, Bangladesh reached 102 for 2 before collapsing, with off‑spinner Vihaan Malhotra taking 4 for 14 as India sealed a second straight win to top Group B; the captains skipped a pre‑match handshake but teams exchanged handshakes after the game.
