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

Alex Green to Ayush Mhatre, out Caught by Ben Mayes!! The adrenaline was flowing and Mhatre has holed out to long leg - banged in short by Green, was the heavy ball and the Indian captain was in no control over the pull, took his eyes off the ball at the last moment, goes through with the hook and holes out to Mayes in the deep - a simple catch and England can breathe a sigh of relief.
