IND U19 vs ENG U19 LIVE Updates, 3rd ODI: Vaibhav Suryavanshi showed promise in both games
IND U19 vs ENG U19 LIVE Updates, 3rd ODI: India U19’s five-match series against England is all tied up at 1-1, after the hosts won the second match of the series in Northampton in a true thriller at the County Ground. In a 50-over match that went right down to the wire and needed the last over to be settled, it was England U19 captain Thomas Rew who was the hero, scoring 131 off just 89 deliveries, before some late theatrics by Sebastian Morgan ensured that the young hosts levelled the series with an incredibly dramatic one-wicket victory. …Read More
It was a real showcase of cricket, the young stars producing the best of what the ODI format has to offer – and proving to fans in both countries that the future is in secure hands. Nevertheless, there is work to be done for both: the winner of today’s match, once again in Northampton, will hold the advantage as the series heads to Worcester for the last two matches of this series. If the first two matches have proven anything, it is that these teenage stars are hungry to prove a point. They will want to fight to ensure that a win can be jotted back in the books.
India haven’t had a standout batter in their own going so far, but that has a big silver lining: in the second match, more or less the entirety of their batting got very good starts and contributed. If even one or two of those players kick on and show they can score a big one, it will do wonders for the team. The expectations will be highest for the two dashing openers. Vaibhav Suryavanshi has scored a pair of rapid 40s, but will have intentions of translating that to a memorable big score with that famous number 18 on his back. Ayush Mhatre missed out with a golden duck, and with the added responsibility of being captain of this team, the Mumbai batter will know he is the one his teammates will look to for stability in case Suryavanshi’s high-octane, high-risk style doesn’t work out.
With the ball, it is seamer Henil Patel who has been the most impressive prospect this far. The bowling unit around him has chipped in with wickets, but tended to leak runs: they will need to clean up their act a touch against a clearly dangerous English batting unit.
Exciting, exhilarating cricket has already been on display as the future of these two cricket nations lock horns. More of the same, and there will be no complaints – but it is series such as these where the youngsters will develop that cutting edge and that will to win at all costs that all elite athletes must possess. Who will raise their hand and help India get back to winning ways?

IND U19 vs ENG U19 LIVE Updates, 3rd ODI: Does Vihaan Malhotra have your attention?
IND U19 vs ENG U19 LIVE Updates, 3rd ODI: This India Under 19 team isn’t only about Vaibhav Suryavanshi. A few more talented youngsters stand out. Two days ago, Vihaan Malhotra top-scored for India with 49, and although he missed out on a half-century, he was instrumental in taking India close to 300. India’s No. 3, Malhotra, stood his ground, allowing the rest of the batters to find their groove around him. Rahul Kumar and Kanishk Chauhan too scored in the 40s – 47 and 45 respectively, but it wasn’t enough to give India a winning total.

IND U19 vs ENG U19 LIVE Updates, 3rd ODI: After today, two more matches will wind up the ODIs; however, they will be played at a different venue as the action moves to Worcester for the final two games of the series.

IND U19 vs ENG U19 LIVE Updates, 3rd ODI: Sit back, relax, and let Vaibhav Suryavanshi take you on a ride
IND U19 vs ENG U19 LIVE Updates, 3rd ODI: This kid is special. Vaibhav Suryavanshi is not your everyday teenager. He is different, to the extent that people have started comparing him to Sachin Tendulkar, given the similarities in their journeys dating back to their early days. Suryavanshi began the tour of England with a blistering knock of 190, but it wasn’t registered anywhere since it was an unofficial game. But irrespective of the nature and format of the game, 190 is 190. At just 14, Suryavanshi is already toppling records, and while an India call-up may take a few more years, he has what it takes to be the next big superstar of Indian cricket.

IND U19 vs ENG U19 LIVE Updates, 3rd ODI: The Flintoffs – father Andrew and son Rocky are both in their news for respective reasons. Rocky has shown some fine form with the bat, scoring 56 and 39 in the two matches played thus far, while Andrew just revealed yesterday that he turned down an insane amount of money to strike a contract with the WWE. Rocky is one of the most promising young batters going around in the country – he scored 108 against the Cricket Australia XI in January, and the world knows the legend of Andrew and his famous 2005 Ashes. With both father and son making heads turn, these are exciting times for England and its cricket.

IND U19 vs ENG U19 LIVE Updates, 3rd ODI: Pressure on the Indian skipper?
IND U19 vs ENG U19 LIVE Updates, 3rd ODI: Like Suryavanshi, Ayush Mhatre too made headlines through his performances for the Chennai Super Kings in the IPL 2025, but the captain has been through a bit of a lull since. Following his knocks of 94 against RCB, 43 against RR and 34 against GT, Mhatre has scored 1, 21 and a duck in the three matches of the ongoing India Under-19 tour. He was dismissed for 1 in the four-day game, and gave away a good start at Hove. In Northampton two days ago, he was out for a first-ball duck. Could today mark the revival of 17-year-old?

IND U19 vs ENG U19 LIVE Updates, 3rd ODI: The man who extinguished India’s hopes of making it 2-1
IND U19 vs ENG U19 LIVE Updates, 3rd ODI: England surrendered meekly in the first match, getting bowled out for 174 and allowing India to chase down the target comfortably. However, the comeback they showed in the next game was inspiring. Despite conceding 290, the English Colts seemed done and dusted before Thomas Rew took matters into his own hands. The 17-year-old scored 131 not out and, despite wickets tumbling at one end, took England home, winning the match by a narrow margin of one wicket with three balls to spare. Talk about nail-biting stuff.

Suryavanshi blasted 48 in the first Youth ODI, followed by another promising knock of 45, only to throw his wicket away. Today, Suryavanshi would want to make it count.
