Match Prediction – Who Will Win?
This match looks one-sided on paper. India U19 have been unbeaten in the tournament and have dominated teams with both bat and ball. Their top order is in excellent form, and the middle order has provided solid support.
Zimbabwe U19, on the other hand, have struggled with the bat and have not been able to put pressure on strong teams. Unless India make big mistakes, they should control the game from start to finish.
Predicted Winner: India U19
