The country of Zimbabwe has experienced rain in recent days and had played a part in the India vs USA clash in the ongoing ICC U19 World Cup 2026. The Bulawayo weather today is nothing bright as thunderstorms are expected in spots. The skies will be considerably cloudy, with the weather not warm but humid.

According to Accuweather.com, there is 55% probability of rain and 33% probability of thunderstorms. Around three hours of rain is expected on the day.

The last time India met Bangladesh at a Youth ODI was in 2024 in Dubai in the U19 Asia Cup. Batting first, Bangladesh scored 198 all out. In reply, India were bowled out for 139. From that Indian team, Ayush Mhatre, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, and Harvansh Pangalia are playing today. Certainly, India will eye revenge today.

Yesterday, Pakistan were bowled out for 173 in 46.3 overs while chasing England's 210. On the other hand, South Africa were stunned by a spirited Afghanistan side. Today, besides India vs Bangladesh, minnows Japan will take on Sri Lanka.

Interestingly, Ayush Mhatre has better record in senior cricket than his junior stats. He hasn't been among runs for India U19 and fell for just 19 runs against USA. While all his peers are scoring runs here and there, Mhatre is the only missing puzzle in the India U19 batting line up.

While the India and Bangladesh colts face today, things back home aren't good for both countries. Amid the political tensions, Bangladesh have refused to travel to India for the T20 World Cup, starting next month. The decision taken by BCB and the interim government came after Mustafizur Rahman was removed from IPL following orders by the BCCI.

Among the Indian bowlers, Henil Patel will be under spotlight after his five-for against USA. In fact, another Indian pacer Deepesh Devendran will also be raring to go after not performing to the expectations in the last few games.

Here it from the Bangladesh boys as they gear up to start their ICC U19 World Cup 2026 journey. Don't forget, Bangladesh had defeated India in the 2020 final to record their only ICC World Cup title so far.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi has been in tremendous form in 2025. From his maiden IPL hundred, the southpaw excelled in all conditions in Australia, England, Qatar, Dubai, India, and South Africa with three-figure scores. After his cheap dismissal against USA, the Indian opener will be eager to score big against Bangladesh.

Henil Patel was India's chief destroyer against USA. The tall lanky pacer, took three wickets in his first spell before scalping two in his second, thus wiping the USA batting lineup. He gave away just 16 runs in his 7 overs.

Bangladesh: Azizul Hakim Tamim (C), Zawad Abrar, Rizan Hossan, Samiun Basir Ratul, Sheikh Parvez Jibon, Farid Hasan Faysal (WK), Kalam Siddiki Aleen, Md Rifat Beg, Saad Islam Razin, Iqbal Hossain Emmon, Al Fahad

India: Ayush Mhatre (c), Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Vedant Trivedi, Vihaan Malhotra, Abhigyan Kundu (wk), Harvansh Pangalia, RS Ambrish, Kanishk Chouhan, Henil Patel, Deepesh Devendran, Khilan Patel

In the youth ODIs, India U-19 and Bangladesh U-19 have faced 28 times with the Boys in Blue winning on 21 occasions. Bangladesh U-19 have been able to win six games while one encounter ended in no result.

For Bangladesh, Azizul Hakim Tamim and Zawad Abrar will lead their batting at the top of the order. All-rounder Rizan Hossan adds balance to the side. Among bowlers, India will have to be wary about Iqbal Hossain, Al Fahad and left-arm spinner Samiun Basir.

In the first game which was reduced to 37 overs per side due to rain, India won by six wickets. Batting first, USA were bundled out for 107 runs, thanks to Henil Patel's 5/16 in 7 overs. India's target was reduced to 96 after the rain delay which the Boys in Blue reached easily. Vaibhav Suryavanshi wa dismissed for just 2 runs.
