Harare, Feb. 6 -- Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's blistering knock of 175 runs off just 80 balls propelled India U19 to a massive total of 411/9, setting a daunting target of 412 for England U19 in the title clash of the ICC Under-19 Men's Cricket World Cup 2026 held at the Harare Sports Club in Zimbabwe on Friday.

Opting to bat first, India U19 opened with the in-form pair of Aaron George and Sooryavanshi. Centurion in the semi-final, George got off the mark with a boundary in the first over against Sebastian Morgan.

The 14-year-old Sooryavanshi targeted Alex Green in the next over and hit his first boundary. Green got the first breakthrough when he dismissed George for just nine runs in the fourth over of the innings.
