India vs Bangladesh Highlights, U19 World Cup 2026: Vihaan Malhotra’s four-wicket burst powers India to 18-run win
India vs Bangladesh Highlights, U19 World Cup 2026: India staged a dramatic comeback to defeat Bangladesh by 18 runs via the DLS method in a rain-hit Under-19 World Cup clash on Saturday, thanks to a brilliant spell of off-spin by Vihaan Malhotra. India had set a competitive total of 238 in 48.4 overs, with Abhigyan Kundu contributing a patient 80 off 112 balls and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi striking a composed 72 off 67 balls. Both batters played crucial roles in stabilising the innings after early setbacks, including the quick dismissals of captain Ayush Mhatre and Vedant Trivedi by Bangladesh’s pacer Al Fahad, who had earlier taken 5 for 38.
Chasing a revised target of 165 in 29 overs following a second rain delay, Bangladesh seemed in complete control at 102 for 2 after 20 overs, comfortably ahead on the DLS par score. However, the match swung dramatically in India’s favour as Malhotra produced a stunning 4 for 14, taking key middle-order wickets—Kalam Siddiki, Sheikh Parvez Jibon, Rizan Hossan, and Samiun Basir—within just 33 balls. Panic set in as Bangladesh lost five wickets in rapid succession, with Khilan Patel delivering the final blow by dismissing captain Azizul Hakim, who top-scored with 51 off 72 balls. Henil Patel then wrapped up the tail as Bangladesh were bowled out for 146 in 28.3 overs.
The match also had tense moments off the field, as the captains had avoided the customary handshake at the toss but later exchanged pleasantries after the game. With this win, India moved to the top of Group B standings with four points from two matches, while Bangladesh and the USA remain yet to score. The contest highlighted the thrill and unpredictability of youth cricket, with Malhotra’s spell proving decisive and India’s composure under pressure allowing them to snatch victory from a seemingly comfortable chase.

IND vs BAN Live Score: Vihaan Malhotra shines with four as India clinch dramatic 18-run victory
Bangladesh looked in control after 17.2 overs when rain interrupted play. At that point, they were ahead on DLS, but 20 overs were needed for a result. Once the match resumed, the target came down to 75 runs off 70 balls with eight wickets in hand — a position that would normally favour the batting side.
They managed to hold onto their wickets initially, but a few quiet overs created pressure. India sensed the moment and captain Ayush Mhatre’s gamble to hand the ball to part-timer Vihaan Malhotra paid off brilliantly. Malhotra not only stemmed the flow of runs but also picked key wickets. On the other end, Khilan Patel allowed a few loose deliveries, but the pair’s tight bowling soon rattled the Bangladeshi line-up.
What looked like a steady chase at 106 for 2 quickly turned into a collapse, with batters throwing away their wickets. Azizul Hakim’s well-made fifty went in vain, and although Rizan Hossan tried to spark a late revival with 15 runs off 9 balls, India held their nerve to wrap up a comfortable win.Vihaan Malhotra shines with four as India clinch dramatic 18-run victory

India vs Bangladesh Highlights, U19 World Cup 2026: In a thrilling rain-affected Under-19 World Cup clash on Saturday, India secured an 18-run victory over Bangladesh via the DLS method, thanks to a sensational bowling display by off-spinner Vihaan Malhotra. Chasing a revised target of 165 from 29 overs, Bangladesh appeared firmly in control at 102 for 2 after 20 overs, comfortably ahead on the DLS par score. However, Malhotra’s disciplined off-spin triggered a stunning collapse, as he dismantled the middle order with figures of 4 for 14, removing Kalam Siddiki, Sheikh Parvez Jibon, Rizan Hossan, and Samiun Basir in a decisive spell. Bangladesh lost five wickets in just 33 balls, with panic setting in as the target slipped from reach. Left-arm spinner Khilan Patel then dismissed Bangladesh captain Azizul Hakim (51 off 72 balls), effectively ending the chase, while Henil Patel wrapped up the tail.
India’s innings had been built around fighting half-centuries from Abhigyan Kundu (80 off 112 balls) and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi (72 off 67 balls), who steadied the innings after early top-order setbacks. Bangladesh pacer Al Fahad had earlier starred with 5 for 38, but India’s resilience ensured a competitive total of 238 in 48.4 overs. This marked India’s second consecutive win in the tournament and took them to the top of Group B with four points from two matches, leaving Bangladesh and the USA yet to open their accounts. The match showcased the drama, tension, and skill of youth cricket, with Malhotra’s spell turning the game in India’s favour despite challenging rain-affected conditions.
