Pakistan's Under-19 cricket team has demonstrated impressive form, securing two significant titles recently, setting the stage for their ambition to clinch the upcoming ICC U19 World Cup 2026. The team first triumphed in the ACC Men's U19 Asia Cup 2025, held in Dubai in December, where they achieved a commanding victory over arch-rivals India by 191 runs in the final. This win officially established their status as 'Asian champions.' Building on this success, the young Pakistani squad continued their winning streak by clinching a tri-series title against hosts Zimbabwe on January 6, 2026, in Harare. The final match saw a spectacular performance from Sameer Minhas, who scored a record-breaking century off just 42 balls, leading Pakistan to a dominant nine-wicket victory. This performance further solidified their morale and preparation for the global tournament. The PCB's article, published on January 5, 2026, highlighted the team's aspirations, stating their aim to clinch 'another U19 title,' referring to both the tri-series final and the impending U19 World Cup. The ICC U19 World Cup 2026 is scheduled to commence on January 15, 2026, in Zimbabwe and Namibia, with Pakistan slated to face England in their opening match on January 16. The team's recent back-to-back titles and strong individual performances, particularly from players like Sameer Minhas and captain Farhan Yousaf, indicate their readiness and determination to compete for the ultimate youth cricket championship.
