Pakistan-India clash confirmed in U19 World Cup Super Sixes stage

Pakistan and India will clash on February 1 after Men in Blue defeated New Zealand in the final group-stage match at the Queens Sports Club on Saturday, confirming the Super Sixes lineup of the ICC Men's U19 World Cup 2026.

RS Ambrish's four-wicket haul, followed by captain Ayush Mhatre's half-century, led India to a commanding seven-wicket victory over New Zealand, helping them finish at the top of the Group B standings with an unbeaten record.

With the conclusion of the group stage, the Super Sixers lineup was also confirmed, with three teams each from Group A and D forming Group 1 of the upcoming stage, while Group 2 will feature three top sides from Group B and C.

Consequently, two-time champions Pakistan, who finished second in the Group C standings, will be locking horns with New Zealand on January 27, followed by the high-octane clash against India on February 1.

Pakistan enter the stage with two points, which they carried forward with the victory over Zimbabwe, and would ideally need to win both their Super Sixes matches to qualify for the semi-finals, scheduled to be played on February 3 and 4, respectively.

For the unversed, the top two teams from each Super Sixes group will advance into the knockouts, while the final of the 16-team tournament is slated to be played at the Harare Sports Club in Harare on February 6.
