India will lock horns with Afghanistan in the second semi-final of the ICC U19 World Cup 2026 on Wednesday (February 4). The Ayush Mhatre-led Indian team has been unbeaten in the tournament and will look to continue their dominance while Afghanistan made it through at the expense of the Lankan Lions with a stronger NRR.
India opener Vaibhav Suryavanshi has been getting decent starts but a big score hasn’t come yet. Captain Ayush Mhatre has been struggling with his batting form but has been handy with the ball. He has picked 6 wickets in his last two outings. He would look to get back into the groove.

The fixture will be televised live in India on the Star Sports Network channels.
