England U19 vs India U19, Final, ICC Under 19 World Cup 2026 - Player Highlights

James Minto to Vihaan Malhotra, out Caught by BJ Dawkins!! Tame dismissal! Minto comes back and breaks the partnership. Cross-seam back of a length delivery, hurries onto Malhotra who was camping back in the crease, tries to loft it down the ground and the ball hits the splice of the bat, lobs to mid-off and Dawkins takes a dolly.

Farhan Ahmed to Vihaan Malhotra, no run, soft dismissal! Malhotra departs cheaply. Wickets in quick succession for England and they now sense a door open for them to get back into the contest. The third umpire is checking if Farhan had the ball in his control and didn't touch the ground with it. Different angles are being played out. A couple of angles show that some part of the ball might be touching the ground. Hang on! When Farhan was standing up, he presses the ball to the ground and that will go against him.
