India U19 Vs USA U19 Live Streaming: When and where to watch ICC U19 World Cup 2026 on TV and online

NEW DELHI: India will begin their ICC U19 World Cup 2026 campaign with a Group A clash against the United States of America at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo on Thursday, January 15.

Considered one of the strongest sides in the tournament, the Indian U19 team will look to make a confident start against a relatively inexperienced USA outfit on Zimbabwean soil.



Led by Ayush Mhatre, India enter the competition as title contenders and will be keen to set the tone early.

The opening fixture also gives the team management a chance to assess combinations before tougher group matches against Bangladesh and New Zealand.

Mhatre, who has already made a mark at the domestic level and earned recognition with Chennai Super Kings, will be a key figure at the top of the order.

Another player under the spotlight is Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, the teenage batter from Bihar who is part of the Rajasthan Royals setup. Known for his attacking approach, Sooryavanshi will be eager to make an impact after mixed returns in the warm-up games.

India’s depth will also be tested through promising names such as Vihaan Malhotra, Aaron George, and Deepesh Dependran, who add balance across departments.

The USA U19 side, captained by Utkarsh Srivastava, will see the match as a valuable learning opportunity.

Facing India provides crucial exposure for the American youngsters as they continue to develop on the global stage.

While the USA lack experience at this level, they will aim to compete with discipline and confidence.

India arrive in Bulawayo on the back of strong recent performances. They dominated South Africa in a U19 50-over series and followed it up with an emphatic warm-up win over Scotland. A narrow loss to England, however, stressed areas to fine-tune before the main tournament.
