England U19 vs Scot U19, 17th Match, Group C at Harare, Men’s Under-19 World Cup, Jan 21 2026 – Live Cricket Score

1:20 pm This was an innings for the history books: the sixth-highest score in U19 World Cup history and the highest of this edition so far. Scotland initially got the start they craved after winning the toss and opting to bowl in overcast conditions, removing Dawkins in the third over. However, the arrival of Ben Mayes at number three changed everything. He began his onslaught immediately, racing to 50 off just 32 balls. As the drizzle fell, Mayes and Moores dominated an 188-run partnership, feasting on a Scotland attack that struggled to find its rhythm in the damp conditions. The stand finally ended when Moores, scoring 81 off 65, was caught at deep midwicket. Scotland’s day was further marred by uncharacteristic lapses in the field; they leaked runs and missed a massive opportunity when Carter dropped a regulation catch off Mayes when he was on 118 runs. While Rew with 22 runs and Falconer with 24 runs chipped in with brief contributions, the story belonged entirely to Mayes. He produced a masterclass batting performance, blending textbook drives and cuts with an array of inventive sweeps and switch-hits. His gem of an innings finally ended at 191 runs from 117 deliveries, the joint-highest individual innings in the U-19 World Cup, caught behind while attempting a reverse sweep. A late cameo from Morgan pushed the total past the 400-mark, leaving the Scottish bowlers exhausted. Woodhouse was the pick of the attack with three wickets, while Jones and Chaplin took two and one. Himanshu will be back shortly for this mammoth run chase after the innings break.
