LIVE UPDATES | Ind vs Pak, U19 WC: Both the sides would be eyeing the initial advantage - be it with the bat or the ball. It is a high-pressure game and hence the initial advantage could play a big role. 

LIVE UPDATES | Ind vs Pak, U19 WC: Vaibhav Suryavanshi is an attacking player and hence Pakistan would love to see the back of him early, because if they let him off the hook - he could take the game away from them quickly.

LIVE UPDATES | Ind vs Pak, U19 WC: Former batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar spoke to the players via video call. The legend motivated the future stars and that should really give them all the confidence they need before the big-ticket clash. 

LIVE UPDATES | Ind vs Pak, U19 WC: The Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo is going to assist the spinners. The tweakers have taken 39 wickets in all in Bulawayo this World Cup, the most among the five venues.

LIVE UPDATES | Ind vs Pak, U19 WC: This Indian U19 has already played four matches at the venue and that is bound to keep them in good stead. They would have ample knowhow of the conditions. 

LIVE UPDATES | Ind vs Pak, U19 WC: Sameer Minhas is the danger man with the bat for the Men in Green. India would dearly love to see the back of him early on in the game. He scored 172 against India in the Under-19 Asia Cup final in December. That was the highest individual score in the final of an Under-19 tournament and also the highest score for Pakistan in youth ODIs.

LIVE UPDATES | Ind vs Pak, U19 WC: In the upcoming game, India biggest fear would be Pakistan pacer Ali Raza. He has picked up 12 wickets in the tournament - and is the joint second highest. He would be the one to watch out for from the Men in Green. 

LIVE UPDATES | Ind vs Pak, U19 WC: Let us take a look at the form both sides are in heading into the crucial encounter. 

India: WWWW 
Pakistan: WWWL

LIVE UPDATES | Ind vs Pak, U19 WC: There is no doubt that the no-handshake policy is going to continue. The two captains would not be shaking hands at the toss and even after the game. 

LIVE UPDATES | Ind vs Pak, U19 WC: This game will have a lot of interest because of the diplomatic relations between the two countries. India would realise they have a good opportunity to break Pakistani hearts by knocking them out of the marquee event. 

LIVE UPDATES | Ind vs Pak, U19 WC: What Pakistan would be recalling is how they thrashed India in the U19 Asia Cup sometime back. India lost to Pakistan by 191 runs in the Under-19 Asia Cup final in Dubai last December

LIVE UPDATES | Ind vs Pak, U19 WC: If they end up chasing, then Pakistan would need to achieve whatever target India set at a pretty fast pace. For instance, if Pakistan have to chase a target of 251, they would have to do so in 29.4 overs or fewer to progress to the knockouts. And if the target is lower, Pakistan would have to chase it marginally quicker.

LIVE UPDATES | Ind vs Pak, U19 WC: The chances of them going through is slim. If Pakistan bat first, they would need to win by 105 runs or more to finish second in the Group 2 standings and qualify for the semi-finals at India's expense.

LIVE UPDATES | Ind vs Pak, U19 WC: The Men in Blue would start slight favourites in the Super Six clash that beckons in a few hours from now. India have won all their three matches thus far in the Super Six stage, while Pakistan have won two and lost one. 

LIVE UPDATES | Ind vs Pak, U19 WC: The teen sensation has never got big runs in the limited games he played against Pakistan and hence he would be itching to contribute. Everyone knows, if he gets going - he could make things really difficult for the Men in Green. 

LIVE UPDATES | Ind vs Pak, U19 WC: Here are the playing XIs that could be fielded. 

India: Aaron George, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Vihaan Malhotra, Ayush Mhatre (c), Abhigyan Kundu (wk), Harvansh Singh, Khilan A. Patel, R.S. Ambrish, Henil Patel, Udhav Mohan, Deepesh Devendran.

Pakistan: Sameer Minhas, Hamza Zahoor (wk), Usman Khan, Ahmed Hussain, Farhan Yousaf (c), Huzaifa Ahsan, Mohammad Shayan, Abdul Subhan, Ali Raza, Momin Qamar, Mohammad Sayyam.

LIVE UPDATES | Ind vs Pak, U19 WC: No way will rain interrupt the match and that is a good thing. Who wants it to rain - the players and the fans dread that. All in all, there would be bright sunshine in Bulawayo. 

LIVE UPDATES | Ind vs Pak, U19 WC: There is no doubt the toss would be crucial. This is a big match and hence it would be interesting to see what happens at the toss which takes place at 12:30 PM IST. 

LIVE UPDATES | Ind vs Pak, U19 WC: For Pakistan, they need a big win to go through, whereas all India need is a win to seal the last semi-final spot. High stakes and a lot to look forward to. 

LIVE UPDATES | Ind vs Pak, U19 WC: There is little to no doubt that the spotlight would be on Vaibhav Suryavanshi. He has been the big superstar of the tournament. In the past, he has not done really well against the Men in Green and he would be itching to change that. 

LIVE UPDATES | Ind vs Pak, U19 WC: Both teams are strong and have been in good form which means that the game could go down to the wire which would be good from the point of view of the fans.
