IND vs AFG U19 Live Score Today: Big wicket for Afghanistan | India 208/2 in 27 overs
Nooristani Omarzai removes India captain Ayush Mhatre for 62. It’s a huge leading edge, and Sadat pulls off a stunner — sprinting back from mid-wicket, keeping his eyes on the ball and holding on despite sliding onto the turf.
The delivery was full on the pads, Mhatre went early on the flick and paid the price. Afghanistan have been sloppy in the field for much of the day, but they’ve nailed a blinder here. India U19 208/2 in 27 overs vs Afghanistan U19 (310/4) in Harare

IND vs AFG U19 Live Cricket Score: Fifty for Indian skipper!
Fifty for Ayush Mhatre! His second of the tournament. Short of a good length and wide outside off, he opens the face and guides it past cover-point for a single to bring up a well-paced half-century. IND U19 185/1 in 22.2 overs vs AFG (310/4) in Harare

IND vs AFG U19 Live Cricket Score: India are cruising!
13 off the over! Another maximum for skipper Ayush Mhatre — huge hit! There’s a man in the deep, but he’s only a spectator. Tossed up, right in the slot, Mhatre clears his front leg and launches it high and deep over mid-wicket. Pure authority! India U19 163/1 in 20 overs vs Afghanistan U19 (310/4) in Harare

IND vs AFG U19 Live Score Today: Mhatre Shows His Class!
India captain Ayush Mhatre is carrying on from where Vaibhav Sooryavanshi left off — a classy little gem unfolding in Harare. India are on top, and the Afghan bowlers are feeling it.
FOUR! Third time lucky on the pull. The first went too straight to long-on, the second found mid-wicket in the ring. This time, Ayush gets it spot on — picks mid-wicket and lifts it clean over the infield. Short ball sits up, and he makes no mistake. IND U19 128/1 in 15 overs vs AFG (310/4) in Harare
