India Dominate New Zealand to Stay Unbeaten at U-19 World Cup
India’s march through the Under-19 Cricket World Cup continues with authority, confidence and a clear message to the rest of the tournament. Against New Zealand, a side known for discipline and resilience at youth level, India delivered another controlled performance, cruising to a seven-wicket victory and keeping their unbeaten run firmly intact.
This was not just a win. It was a statement of intent.
The match itself was shaped early by India’s bowlers. On a surface that offered just enough movement, the Indian attack stayed patient and precise. New Zealand were never allowed to settle. Partnerships were broken quickly, singles were squeezed and pressure kept building. Wickets fell at regular intervals and New Zealand were eventually restricted to a modest total. It was the kind of bowling effort that reflects planning, clarity of roles and confidence within the group.
Then came the chase and with it, calm assurance. A rain interruption shortened the contest, but India adapted instantly. There was no panic, no rush. Skipper Ayush Mhatre set the tone with a brisk and fearless knock, attacking the bowlers early and removing any doubt about the direction of the chase. His innings was short, sharp and decisive, exactly what the situation demanded.

Around him, the batting unit played with maturity beyond their years. They rotated strike, punished loose deliveries and made smart decisions under the DLS pressure. The target was reeled in comfortably, with wickets in hand and momentum clearly on India’s side.
Why does this result matter? Because tournaments like the Under-19 World Cup are not only about talent, they are about temperament. India have now shown both. They have won convincingly in different conditions, adjusted to interruptions and delivered as a unit rather than relying on one or two standout performances.
For New Zealand, this defeat is a setback, but not a disaster. There were moments of fight and lessons to take forward. But they were outplayed by a team that currently looks sharper, deeper and more settled.
For India, the bigger picture is becoming clearer. This squad is not just chasing wins. It is building belief. Each match strengthens their claim as serious title contenders and showcases the next generation of Indian cricket stepping confidently into the spotlight.
As the tournament moves forward, challenges will grow tougher and pressure will rise. But if this performance is any indication, India look ready for what lies ahead.
