Having seen some of the future stars cutting their teeth in this tournament and also With better broadcast and 'coverage', thanks to social media sharing and instant reactions, the ICC U-19 Cricket World Cup has now become a popular tournament for fans, players, organisers and even for talent scouts. Add an India vs Pakistan fixture, and it becomes a bigger spectacle. Any India-Pakistan match is the marquee game for every cricket tournament. Now, ICC has got one, irrespective of the stage. Like their senior pros, these future stars also know what to do when they meet in the field. So, expect an intense clash.
Reigning champions India are vying to join Pakistan as the only teams defend the title successfully. The Priyam Garg-led side should start as the favourites against Pakistan. But Pakistan lead the head-to-head record 5-4, thanks to their head-start. Though, just like the seniors, Indian colts are in a course-correction mode, having won their last three meetings, including a 203-run hammering in 2018. Both sides are unbeaten so far.
India are the most successful side in the tournament, winning the title a record four times. Pakistan have been crowned champions twice. They defeated India by 38 runs in the 2006 final in Colombo.
