India U19 vs Afghanistan U19 Semifinal: Where to Watch

The India U19 team is set to face Afghanistan U19 in the semifinal of the 2026 U-19 Asia Cup. The match took place at the Al Amerat Cricket Ground in Oman on Thursday. After losing the toss, India was asked to bowl first by Afghanistan’s captain, Sohail Khan.

India finished second in their group stage, while Afghanistan has remained unbeaten so far. In their previous matches, India had a strong start with a convincing win over Nepal but then lost to Pakistan. However, they bounced back with a 70-run victory against another opponent, led by Aaryavir Sehwag’s impressive 160-run knock and Ishan Sood’s four wickets.

Afghanistan has been dominant in group stages, defeating Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Malaysia. This match will test their strength against India, who have a strong record against Afghanistan at the U-19 level. India has won 11 out of 13 previous encounters, including their last meeting in the 2026 U-19 World Cup semifinal.

Sony Sports Network is broadcasting the match in India across multiple channels: Sony Sports 1 (English), Sony Sports 3 (Hindi), and Sony Sports 4 (Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam). Live streaming is available on SonyLIV.
