Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Smashes Sensational Century in U19 World Cup 2026 Final
The Indian cricket team performed well in their batting during the ICC Under-19 World Cup 2026 final match against England, which took place at Harare Sports Club on Wednesday. India batted first and reached 167 runs for 2 wickets after 20 overs because Vaibhav Sooryavanshi scored a remarkable century and captain Ayush Mhatre provided him with strong assistance.
The final match started with intense stress for both teams, but India's batters maintained their composure while demonstrating their ability to control the match. The match reached its turning point when the Indian team lost its first wicket, but a player delivered an outstanding performance that gained full control of the match for India.
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi made his Dream Century on the Big Stage
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi delivered one of his best performances in the tournament by scoring 100 runs from only 55 pitches.
Vaibhav demonstrated no fear after he established himself at the batting position. He scored runs easily against both types of bowlers because he could find gaps in the field and hit boundaries whenever England bowlers made mistakes in their deliveries. He selected his shots wisely, and he maintained his composure during the entire match while scoring runs at a fast pace.
The century achieved in the World Cup final became a more significant achievement for him. Vaibhav led the batting charge by keeping England’s bowlers under constant pressure, which allowed him to control the match.
Ayush Mhatre Provided Perfect Support
India captain Ayush Mhatre played a key role at the other end with a steady knock of 53 runs from 51 balls. He hit 7 fours and 2 sixes while Vaibhav attacked, which enabled him to have success as the team’s main run scorer.
India's team stabilized their performance through the partnership between Vaibhav and Ayush after Aaron George had his early dismissal for 9 runs. After Ayush left the match, Vedant Trivedi came to play with Vaibhav to avoid any final problems.
England made another attempt to recover from their situation through Alex Green, who took two wickets. India completed their 20 overs with a strong total, which enabled them to achieve a favorable position during the final match.
