England U-19 will take on India U-19 in the 2nd of the 5-matches Youth ODI series on Monday.
Abysmal batting display ruined everything for the hosts, England, who performed poorly in the series opener on Friday. Meanwhile, stellar all-round performances led India U-19 to an easy 6-wicket win with 156 balls to spare.
Match Details:
England U-19 vs India U-19, 2nd Youth ODI
Venue: County Ground, Northampton

What is the Pitch Report for ENG U-19 vs IND U-19, 2nd Youth ODI?
Both England and India will move from Hove to Northampton to compete in the second Youth ODI on Monday. The pitch at the County Ground, Northampton, favors the batters, where we can expect scores above 250 from both teams. However, bowlers will get early help with the new ball, and they must work hard to contain runs in the middle and final overs.

Pre-Match Analysis:
England’s middle-order batting failure and subpar bowling cost them dearly, resulting in a surprisingly easy loss with 26 overs remaining in the 1st Youth ODI. Their choice to bat first on the relatively good batting conditions backfired as they lost 4 wickets for 86 runs inside 15 overs, a significant setback for the game.
They must address their weaknesses and gear up for the 2nd Youth ODI on Monday.
Ayush Mhatre and his side were superior to England in the 1st Youth ODI at Hove, where the young Indian squad secured a commanding 6-wicket victory to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. Losing the toss didn’t affect the visitors much, as they kept asking questions and reaped the rewards of disciplined bowling. The 18-year-old off-spinner, Kanishk Chouhan, topped the wicket-takers with 3 wickets, while Henil Patel, RS Ambrish, and Mohamed Enaan took 2 wickets each.
In reply, the young star Vaibhav Suryavanshi, known for his impressive batting in the IPL, set a blazing pace with 48 runs off 19 balls. Later, Abhigyan Kundu (45*) and Rahul Kumar (17*) sealed the win comfortably.
The team has match-winners in every position and is favored to win the second ODI.
