Pakistan are going to go down here. They have lost their ninth and have still not brought up their 200.

Pakistan are losing their way further now. They have lost two more wickets and are now six down. Ayush Mhatre had dismissed the set Usman Khan and then Vihaan Malhotra comes and gets rid of Ali Hassan. Pakistan 172/6 after 37, need 81 from 78 balls.

India have officially qualified for the semifinals as Pakistan have failed to chase it down in 33.3 overs. They did not looked willing to chase it down in these many overs. So, we have out four semifinalists. They are India, England, Australia and Afghanistan.

India captain Ayush Mhatre is in and he strikes on his first ball. Mhatre dismisses Ahmed Hussain as Pakistan now go four down. They are in some trouble now.

Pakistan are not going anywhere in the race for the semis, and they have been hit with another blow as captain Farhan Yousuf has been dismissed by RS Ambrish. Pakistan are at 151/3 after 29.4.

It seems Pakistan are not looking to push their case for the semifinal qualification. They have made only 135/2 in 27 overs and need to chase this down in 6.3 overs now.

Pakistan are not doing themselves any favour as they are not able to take on the Indian spinners. Boundaries are not freely flowing and they need a miracle to qualify for the semis now.

Pakistan are 98/2 after 20 overs. They are struggling to get runs off the spinners and need 155 runs off 80 balls now. India are slowly but surely confirming their qualification.

Hamza is GONE!! Pakistan have lost their second wicket, and they are 88/2 as Kanishk strikes for India. Pressure building up on Pakistan now. Can India pick more wickets?

India are in desperate search for wickets now as Hamza and Usman are looking comfortable in the middle. At the end of 16 overs, Pakistan are 87/1 and need 166 more runs in 105 balls.

A partnership is building up at the moment between Hamza and Usman. Pakistan are 64/1 after 11 overs and Khilan Patel, spinner, is introduced into the attack. With only 22.3 overs to go for Pakistan to chase the score, something is got to give here. Can India breakthrough?

Pakistan have reached 50 runs in the 10th over of the innings. Time is slowly running out for them and the batters will have to calculate this chase smartly. Can they do it?

Pakistan are 42/1 after 7 overs. They need to chase the target of 253 runs in 33.3 overs to qualify for the semifinal and knock India out of the U19 World Cup 2026. If they finish with a six and reach 258 runs, then they can do so in 34.3 overs as well. 

And that's the first wicket for India. Henil Patel strikes as he removes Sameer Minhas in the fourth over. This stayed a bit low as he trapped Minhas in front. Pakistan 23/1 after 4 overs.

And the chase is underway here in Bulawayo. Sameer Minhas and Hamza Zahoor are out in the middle as they look to provide the Pakistani team with a strong start. RS Ambrish has the new ball in his hand.

India have been bowled out here for 252. They lost their way a bit in the last couple of overs as they lose their last three wickets in the final over. 

Kanishk is playing a very crucial knock here. He has struck three boundaries in the 47th over as India get 14 from that. India 227/7 after 47.

Not what India would have wanted. RS Ambrish gets a poke at this slower ball as the wicketkeeper grabs it behind. India 200/7 after 44 overs.

India go past 200 with six wickets down in the 44th over. RS Ambrish and Kanishk Chouhan are holding the fort for the Indian team. Can they get another 50-60?

Sixth wicket down for India and it is the set batter Vedant Trivedi, who has been dismissed. This was a high full-toss from Momin Qamar as Trivedi charged down but miscues it to deep mid-wicket.

At the end of 40 overs, India are 181/5. Vedant and Ambrish are in the middle of a decent partnership. India can certainly aim for 250 runs now, as they need around 70-odd runs in the last 10 overs in that case. 

India are 161/5 after 36 overs and Vedant continues to play cautiously. He is batting on 58 and has so far got a calming support from RS Ambrish. Can these two continue scoring runs for India?

India have reached 150 in the 34th over of the innings. Can they add 100 more runs to their tally? Vedant is key and Ambrish has joined him and India are in need of a partnership.

Abhigyan Kundu is gone and this time it is not a no-ball. A poor shot in the context of the game from Kundu as he scored only 16 runs off 27 balls. India are in trouble big time at 147/5 in the 33rd over. Vedant is key now for the boys in blue.

Vedant has notched up a fighting fifty in the 30th over and India are 140/4 after 30 overs. The match is hanging in the balance right now, especially after Kundu was reprieved on a no-ball. Will that be a game-changing moment?

After 28 overs, India's score reads 123-4. Kunud is on a score of 5* runs in 9 deliveries, Vedant Trivedi is approaching his half century on a score of 42* runs in 68 deliveries.

India have lost their fourth wicket! Vihaan Malhotra departs on a score of 21 runs. The batter is caught and bowled. India are now 109-4. Hussain takes his first wicket of the game.

100 runs are up for team India, after 21.1 overs. After the first three wickets, the Men in Blue looked to be in trouble. However, Vihaan and Vendant have done a good job so far, and they will hope for more of the same here.

Team India is approaching its 100 here. After 17.3 overs, the score reads 86-3. Vihaan and Vedant are now set on the crease and could prove to cause problems for Pakistan if they stay on the crease for long.

Vihaan and Vedant are still on the crease, and the game seems to have come to a standstill. Vihaan scored 8* runs in 17 deliveries, with Vendant on a score of 15* runs in 25 deliveries. The score reads 75-3 after 15 overs.

Vihaan and Vendat are standing strong here and are taking the game slowly. After 13 overs, the score reads 68-3. Vihaan is on a score of 6* runs in 13 deliveries. Vedant is batting  on a score of 10* runs in 18 deliveries. 

After three wickets, the Indian team has slowed down significantly. After 11 overs, the score reads 51-3. Vihaan Malhotra and Vedant Trivedi are standing on the crease, and are looking to stabilise the innings for the Men in Blue. 

Team India are three down! Aaron George has been beaten all ends up. The batter departs on a score of 16 runs in 25 deliveries. India now 47-3. Pakistan are in complete control of the game!

Back-to-back! Ayush Mhatre has departed on a duck here. Seyam takes his second wicket of the over. Pakistan are flying suddenly! India now 47-2 after eight overs. The side looks to be in trouble.

Team India have lost the first wicket here! Vaibhav Suryavanshi has been caught behind. India now 47-1, Suryavanshi departs on a score of 30 runs in 22 deliveries.

Aaron George and Vaibhav Suryavanshi have gotten comfortable on the crease. The two batters are on a score of 14* and 22*, with the Indian team on a score of 35-0 after 6 overs. Powerplay will soon come to an end, and the Men in Blue will look to accelerate here.

Both George and Suryavanshi are in the double digits. After four overs, the score reads 32/0. Suryavanshi is on a score of 19* runs in 10 deliveries, whereas Aaron is batting on a score of 12* runs in 14 deliveries.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Aaron George are staying patient in the early stages of the clash. After two overs, India's score reads 13-0. The Men in Blue look in no rush and are taking it slow as to not lose wickets here.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Aaron George are out in the middle to open team India's innings. Ali Raza has the new ball in hand, the star pacer will aim for early wickets and their opponents will be looking to stay patient here.

The national anthems have concluded here, and we are very close to the start of the game. India batters will be coming out very soon to open their innings, and taking on a dangerous Pakistan bowling attack, the Men in Blue will look to stay cautious.

"Slight moisture, our bowling department will do well. It's a new ground, we've prepared well. Not much difference in the two venues. Bowlers and fielders have done well. I believe in my unit. First focus is to play a good game, not worry about margins. One change: Ali Hassan in, Shayan out," Pakistan skipper Farhan Yousuf said at the toss.
