Venue: New Road, Worcester
Time: 10:00 AM GMT / 11:00 AM LOCAL, July 7, 2025
Prediction
India U19 ke jeetne ka chance zyada hai kyunki unka batting line-up, khaas kar Vaibhav Suryavanshi aur Vihaan Malhotra, shandaar form mein hai. England U19 ka recent performance, khaas kar Thomas Rew ki century, unko competitive banata hai, lekin India ka 2-1 series lead aur momentum unko favorite banata hai.

Pitch and Conditions

Match Context
India U19 5-match series mein 2-1 se aage hai. 1st ODI mein 6 wickets se jeete (Suryavanshi 48 off 19), jabki 2nd ODI mein England ne 1-wicket se thrilling jeet hasil ki (Rew 131). 3rd ODI mein India ne 4 wickets se 269 ka target chase kiya (Suryavanshi 86 off 31). 4th ODI ka result unavailable hai, lekin India ka momentum strong hai.
