England vs Scotland Live Score, U19 World Cup 2026: Group C action at the ICC Under 19 World Cup 2026 continues as England U19 face Scotland U19 at Takashinga Sports Club in Harare. The match began at 9:30 AM local time, with Scotland winning the toss and opting to field, banking on early assistance from cloud cover and the possibility of spin coming into play later in the innings.

England arrive with confidence, having already secured qualification to the next round through two convincing victories.


Captain Thomas Rew stressed the importance of momentum heading into the Super Sixes, noting squad depth and rotation as key strengths.

With Ben Dawkins, Joseph Moores and Ben Mayes at the top, England boast a powerful batting lineup, supported by all-round options and a varied bowling attack.

Scotland, meanwhile, find themselves under pressure after a heavy defeat to Pakistan, making this encounter a must-win to stay alive in the tournament. Captain Thomas Knight highlighted positives despite recent setbacks, pointing to fighting spirit in the field and encouraging starts with the bat.

Scotland have made a change, bringing in Ram Sharma, and will rely on disciplined bowling and sharper batting execution.

Full and wide down the leg side, Ben Mayes goes for the reverse sweep but fails to get into a good position to hit this and ends up edging this off the outside edge. Thomas Knight, behind the stumps, does extremely well to glide to his left and take a stunner despite being blinded for most of the ball's trajectory. Ben Mayes departs after scoring 191 (117).

5 overs left. 400 should be a bare minimum, looking at the way England are going. Their highest score in Youth ODIs is 383/7 while there has been only one instance of a batter scoring a double hundred in a Youth ODI - South Africa's Jorich Van Schalwyk, around 5 months back, in Harare itself. But no one has scored a double hundred in an Under-19 World Cup. Can Ben Mayes do the unthinkable?

There is some sort of a delay here. Okay, while trying to take the catch on the previous ball, Manu Saraswat banged his head on the ground. The physio has come out for a concussion check. All good to resume.

10.25 am GMT - Ralphie Albert walks out at number 6, replacing Caleb Falconer, with the drizzle persisting. If we were to walk off now, Falconer will be one angry chappy. In fact, the two umpires are getting towards one another. And just as we feared, THEY ARE GOING OFF. The good thing is that the skies are blue and are almost cleared. In fact, even as we type and the covers have come on, the drizzle has nearly stopped. Should not be too long a delay.
