ENG U19 vs IND U19 Match Prediction & Preview, 4th ODI: Who will win Between India U19 and England U19?

ENG U19 vs IND U19 Match Preview

The 4th ODI of the India U19 tour of England 2025 will take place at Worcester's New Road ground today at 3.30 pm. Despite the competitive nature of the series, England U19 is under pressure after dropping their last three games. However, India U19 has been playing well, winning three of their past five games and displaying a strong combination of disciplined bowling and powerful hitting.

England's U19 squad boasts some bright individual talents, such as Rocky Flintoff, Freddie McCann, and Archie Vaughan, but they have lacked collective execution. With a recent form of LWLLL, their middle-order collapses and inconsistent bowling have been major concerns.

India U19 arrive with a better record (WLWLW) and a number of in-form players. Star performances Mohamed Amaan, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, and Kanishk Chouhan have constantly impressed with bat and ball, as evidenced by fan ratings that reflect their domination in youth cricket over the last year.

ENG U19 vs IND U19 Match Scenarios

Scenario 1: India U19 Bat First

India's top order is explosive, and with form batsmen like Amaan and Suryavanshi, they could post a total around 270-290. With their diverse bowling attack, they should be able to comfortably defend such a total.

Prediction: India U19 win by 25–40 runs.

Scenario 2: England U19 Bat First

If Rocky Flintoff or McCann fires, England could aim for a competitive 240-260. India's power hitters and steady middle-order, on the other hand, may be able to chase it down unless England bowls really well.

Prediction: India U19 win by 5–6 wickets.

Scenario 3: Rain-Interrupted Game (DLS Method)

A shortened match may benefit England slightly, especially if they bat second. Their aggressive young batters could thrive in a 30-over game. But India's depth in bowling might still hold the edge.

Prediction: India U19 win a close game under DLS conditions by 1–2 wickets or 10–15 runs.

Who will win the match?

With better recent form, more consistent performers, and superior fan-rated all-rounders, India U19 are strong favorites to win the 4th ODI and take further control of the series.

Prediction: India U19 to win the match.
