U19 World Cup 2026: Match 7, India U19 vs Bangladesh U19 Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match between IND U19 vs BAN U19?

India U19 will square off against Bangladesh U19 in match No. 7 of the U19 World Cup 2026 at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo on Saturday, January 17.

The Ayush Mhatre-led team had a good start to their campaign as they registered a six-wicket win via the DLS method in their season opener against USA U19. Having elected to bowl first, India’s bowling attack ran through the opposition’s lineup, bowling them out for 107 runs. Henil Patel was the pick of the bowlers, bagging a five-wicket haul. After repeated rain delays, the revised target was set to 96, which India chased down in 17.2 overs and opened their account in the points tally.

Meanwhile, Bangladesh U19 will be playing their first game of the competition. In the warm-up fixtures, unfortunately, both their games ended without a result. However, in the Asia Cup U19 tournament, the team managed to reach the semis of the event, but were eventually kicked out by the Pakistan U19 team.

IND U19 vs BAN U19 Probable Top Performers

Probable Best Batter: Abhigyan Kundu

India U19 batter Abhigyan Kundu has been the best batter of his team of late and would look to continue the form. In the opening game, despite India facing a mini-collapse, the wicketkeeper-batter held one end and remained unbeaten to guide the team to their first win of the season. Kundu will look to play the same brand of cricket in the next contest.

Probable Best Bowler: Henil Patel

India U19’s Henil Patel took five wickets in the curtain raiser against USA U19 and is riding high on confidence. His spell will be crucial in the upcoming game against Bangladesh, and he will be looking to return to the field and bowl yet another exceptional spell for his team.
