England vs Scotland Live Score, U19 World Cup 2026: England U19 win by 252 runs

England vs Scotland Live Score, U19 World Cup 2026: Group C action at the ICC Under 19 World Cup 2026 continues as England U19 face Scotland U19 at Takashinga Sports Club in Harare. The match began at 9:30 AM local time, with Scotland winning the toss and opting to field, banking on early assistance from cloud cover and the possibility of spin coming into play later in the innings.

England arrive with confidence, having already secured qualification to the next round through two convincing victories.


Captain Thomas Rew stressed the importance of momentum heading into the Super Sixes, noting squad depth and rotation as key strengths.

With Ben Dawkins, Joseph Moores and Ben Mayes at the top, England boast a powerful batting lineup, supported by all-round options and a varied bowling attack.

Scotland, meanwhile, find themselves under pressure after a heavy defeat to Pakistan, making this encounter a must-win to stay alive in the tournament. Captain Thomas Knight highlighted positives despite recent setbacks, pointing to fighting spirit in the field and encouraging starts with the bat.

Scotland have made a change, bringing in Ram Sharma, and will rely on disciplined bowling and sharper batting execution.

Farhan Ahmed to Max Chaplin, Tossed up, into the batter on middle and leg. Max Chaplin pushes this back to the bowler.

18:28 (IST) Jan 21

DRINKS BREAK. Sadly, this game is going nowhere. Understandably, Scotland do not want to lose wickets in trying to play big shots. But by not playing shots at all, they are just digging a hole so deep, that even if they do manage to play out their 50 overs, it is not going to help their net run rate at all. England have been excellent, not trying too hard and not being desperate. They have understood that patience is the mother of all virtues and are sticking to it. They took a whole of 11 overs for the first wicket, but then got the next 2 in the span of around 3 overs. Someone will have to do something from the batting side to enliven this contest.
