IND vs SL U19 Live Cricket Score: 15 runs in the 6th over!
There is the big over India were looking for, Vihaan Malhotra with a bit of aggression and some luck to go with it. George takes a single second ball of that sixth over, after which Malhotra smashes the third ball down the ground for a six. Nimsara sprays the fourth ball too wide outside off. He stays on the off stump line, Malhotra takes a swing at it, it takes a top edge and flies over the wicketkeeper to the boundary for a four. A single and a double after that to end the over.
Malhotra on 13 off nine balls, George on 14 off 13.
India 45/2 in 6 overs, need 95 to win from 84 balls
Dec 19, 2025 05:43 PM IST
IND vs SL U19 Live Cricket Score: End of the first powerplay
This is an ODI match, remember, not a T20I. And so the fielding restrictions have been relaxed after the first four overs. Vihaan Malhotra, who was picked by RCB in the IPL auction recently, is out there with Aaron George who is on strike to spinner Viran Chamuditha, who has conceded just two boundaries so far in the 25 balls he has bowled throughout this over. India have a task in their hands now.
India 25/2 in 4 overs, need 115 to win in 96 balls

IND vs SL U19 Live Cricket Score: OUT! Suryavanshi was in a hurry and he falls
Well, Vaibhav Suryavanshi seemed to be in a hurry, wanting to hit every ball he gets to the boundary. He had been starved of strike, facing just three balls in the first three overs. When he finally did get strike, Suryavanshi hit two fours off the first two balls of the fourth over by Nimsara. Nimsara maintains that middle and leg line which had been dispatched by Suryavanshi first two balls, the batter tries a hard flick once again. This time the ball balloons up to midwicket for a simple catch. Soft, soft dismissal.
Suryavanshi c Dinsara b Nimsara 9 (6)
India 25/2 in 3.3 overs
Dec 19, 2025 05:31 PM IST
IND vs SL U19 Live Cricket Score: OUT! Mhatre falls!
Mhatre falls trying to go big. Caught at mid-on by Ninduwara, a soft, soft dismissal that. Suryavanshi is yet to take strike.
Mhatre c Ninduwara b Nimsara 7 (8)
India 7/1 in 1.2 overs
Dec 19, 2025 05:27 PM IST
IND vs SL U19 Live Cricket Score: 7 runs in the first over...
Mhatre gets off the mark by going downtown fifth ball of the first over for a six. He then takes a single and keeps strike. A modest start for India, and a very good one if one considers how much they need to chase.
Dec 19, 2025 05:22 PM IST
IND vs SL U19 Live Cricket Score: Now for the Indian chase
All right, here comes captain Ayush Mhatre to take strike, Vaibhav Suryavanshi at the other end. Sethmika Seneviratne, who just run back after scoring 30 in 22 balls, will start the attack for Sri Lanka. They have their work cut out here.
Dec 19, 2025 05:12 PM IST
IND vs SL U19 Live Cricket Score: Sri Lanka 138/8 in 20 overs
India need to chase down a target of 139 in 20 overs to reach the final. Seven runs and two wickets in that last over, making it a good finish for India. It would've been even better if three extras weren't given though. Sri Lanka, however, have got to a far bigger score than what looked possible here and they'd be hoping to build on this.
Dec 19, 2025 04:59 PM IST
IND vs SL U19 Live Cricket Score: Into the last over...
All right then, this has been a very good recovery by Sri Lanka but India remain properly in the drivers' seat. The latter will now be hoping to close things out well, a big over to end the innings is the last thing they would be wanting at the moment.
Chamika Heenatigala is on 38 off 35, Sethmika Seneviratne on 30 off 21.
Sri Lanka 131/6 in 19 overs
Dec 19, 2025 04:54 PM IST
IND vs SL U19 Live Cricket Score: SL get a partnership at last
Well this should be a cause of worry now for India. The seventh-wicket partnership between Heenatigala and Seneviratne has reached 41 in 32 balls. It has taken them past 120. About 20 more runs and suddenly Sri Lanka have something to defend.
Sri Lanka 123/6 in 18 overs
Dec 19, 2025 04:32 PM IST
IND vs SL U19 Live Cricket Score: Another wicket
Wickets are in freefall for Sri Lanka at the moment! They look their sixth wicket and we're only in the 13th over. Just 84 runs on board.
This time it's Khilan Patel who gets the wicket.
Aadham Hilmy c Vedant Trivedi b Khilan Patel 1 (3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 33.33
Dec 19, 2025 04:29 PM IST
IND vs SL U19 Live Cricket Score: GONE!
Sri Lanka are bleeding wickets! Now it's Kithma Withanapathirana who departs in the same over that the Lankan captain lost this wicket.
What an over this has been from Kanishk Chouhan. First ball Dinsara departs. Then a six on the third ball. And then a wicket on the final ball.
Kithma Withanapathirana c Henil Patel b Chouhan 7 (4b 0x4 1x6) SR: 175
Dec 19, 2025 04:27 PM IST
IND vs SL U19 Live Cricket Score: GONE!
The Sri Lankan captain departs! What a bad shot from him. He was in no position to hit that one. He gets a top edge and does not even look at the ball's trajectory.
The ball is caught safely and Sri Lanka lose their fourth wicket!
Vimath Dinsara c Singh b Chouhan 32 (29b 4x4 0x6) SR: 110.34
Dec 19, 2025 04:24 PM IST
IND vs SL U19 Live Cricket Score: SL are 64/3 after 10
India have used five bowlers so far in the first half of Sri Lanka's innings. The Sri Lankan batters in the middle, Chamika Heenatigala and Vimath Dinsara have scored 36 runs between them to finally stabilise the innings.
Dec 19, 2025 04:09 PM IST
IND vs SL U19 Live Cricket Score: SL are 42/3 after 7
The three wickets at the top and the end of the first powerplay seems to have reduced the scoring rate for Sri Lanka. The introduction of spin, with Khilan Patel, has also played a role in the halt of runs. Just seven runs coming off that iver.
Dec 19, 2025 04:03 PM IST
IND vs SL U19 Live Cricket Score: GONE!
ANOTHER WICKET! This time, it's from a run out. Superb pickup and direct hit on the stumps from Vedant Trivedi to get rid of Gamage. There was just a slight hesitation from Gamage in taking that run. And that proved costly as he is a few inches out of the crease as the throw from Vedant hits the stumps.
Kavija Gamage run out (Vedant Trivedi) 2 (4b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50
Dec 19, 2025 03:59 PM IST
IND vs SL U19 Live Cricket Score: GONE!
Another one down! And this is the big one! The second opener, Viran Chamuditha, departs after top edging the ball over the keeper's head. The keeper had slipped while running towards the ball. But it's calmly taken by Singh!
This is a big wicket for India today since Chamuditha was in good knick, slamming three fours and a six already to light up the first powerplay.
Viran Chamuditha c Singh b Deepesh 19 (11b 3x4 1x6) SR: 172.72
Dec 19, 2025 03:48 PM IST
IND vs SL U19 Live Cricket Score: GONE!
India have a breakthrough from Kishan Singh in the third over. He almost tricks Dulnith Sigera to throw away his wicket with a ball that the Lankan batter tries to drive but ends up hitting a half punch into the hands of the fielder at mid on.
Dulnith Sigera c Deepesh b Singh 1 (7b 0x4 0x6) SR: 14.28
Right after the wicket, Kishan manages to bowl a couple of menacing balls. Finally, on the final ball he is cut for a boundary by Dinsara.
After three overs, Sri Lanka are 19/1
Dec 19, 2025 03:44 PM IST
IND vs SL U19 Live Cricket Score: Patel leaking runs
Henil Patel leaks runs in his first over! Two boundaries at the end of the over to help the Lankans scored nine runs in the second over. Good batting from Dulnith Sigera, who has scored 14 of the team's 15 runs. All of them have come through hits to the fence.
After 2 overs, Sri Lanka are 15/0
Dec 19, 2025 03:41 PM IST
IND vs SL U19 Live Cricket Score: Eventful first over
Here we go! India hand the ball to Kishan Singh. Dulnith Sigera and Viran Chamuditha in the middle for Sri Lanka.
And Kishan starts off by beating the outer edge of Viran Chamuditha's bat four times. Before managing to get a top edge of his bat on the final ball. The ball flies over the slip cordon's head for a six!
After one over, Sri Lanka are 6/0
Dec 19, 2025 03:38 PM IST
IND vs SL U19 Live Cricket Score: INDIA win toss
India won the toss and asked Sri Lanka to bat first in the 20-over game. No doubt the Indian captain Ayush Mhatre was thinking that the moisture in the pitch will aid the pacers at the start of the game.
The first powerplay will be for four overs. The second powerplay will be from overs 5-16 and the third powerplay will be from overs 17 to 20.
A bowler can bowl a maximum of four overs.
Dec 19, 2025 03:35 PM IST
IND vs SL U19 Live Cricket Score: A 20-over game
So we will have a 20-over game at last after the ground is cleared to hold a game. The covers were on throughout the night and most of the morning, protecting the centre of the pitch. There is still a strong gust of wind blowing---about 29 kmph---but the clouds have been banished. It is slightly humid in Dubai.
We will play on the pitch where soil from the Gabba has been used.

IND vs SL U19 Live Cricket Score: Some good news

IND vs SL U19 Live Cricket Score: What happens if there is no game
While India coach Hrishikesh Kanitkar expressed hope that we will get at least a curtailed semi-final between India and Sri Lanka today, in case that is not possible due to further rains or wet outfield, the Indian team will reach the final of the U19 Asia Cup due to their superior record in the group stage where it topped the group, while Sri Lanka qualified as the second ranked team in its group.
Dec 19, 2025 12:51 PM IST
IND vs SL U19 Live Cricket Score: Kanitkar speaks
India coach Hrishikesh Kanitkar speaks to the broadcasters as the match is still on hold.
Talking about how India have played so far, he said: "It's been good sailing so far. Looking forward to the game. The weather is a pity. Maybe a full match won't take place. The Asia Cup prepares team for the World Cup. It's been a good tournament as coaches, to learn lot of things what we need to work on going forward. It's been a team performance. Individuals have turned up, but not the same ones every time! We have got enough opportunity to see them under pressure."

India U19 vs Sri Lanka U19: Indian team still at hotel
As we get more delay in the game due to rains and a wet outfield at Dubai’s ICC Academy ground, it is learnt that the Indian team is still in the team hotel! meanwhile, the Sri Lankans are in the middle, playing with a football.
India coach Hrishikesh Kanitkar, when asked about the team still staying back at the team hotel, says: "
As coaches, we want players to have mind on the game and not switch off even if the game is not happening. The match can start at any time. We tell them to not let their guards down. We ask them to keep half their mind on the game. We'll get them over to the ground from the team hotel when we hear something from the umpires. There is a lot of nervous evergy that's burnt here."
Dec 19, 2025 11:59 AM IST
India U19 vs Sri Lanka U19: Another delay
The umpires come to the middle of the ground for another pitch inspection after rain relents. But after the pitch covers were removed, the umpires ask the ground staff to drag the white covers back on. The game is still on hold with the outfield too wet.
The 22-yard strip is apparently not too soaked, but the adjoining areas next to the pitch are drenched in patches.
We had also seen visuals earlier in the day of puddles formed around the boundary ropes. So that remains a concern.
Dec 19, 2025 11:49 AM IST
India U19 vs Sri Lanka U19: More delays expected
The rain seems to have relented in Dubai, and there just might be a game after all. The umpires were in the middle for pitch inspection.
