With three wins out of three, India will be confident of entering the Super Six. The defending champions showed that they are all set to defend their title and will be coming hard at the Kiwis.
Let’s take a look at the players to watch out for in this game from the Indian camp.
Batter
With his wonderful batting performance, Uday Pratap Saharan has emerged as a strong candidate to lead India to their sixth U19 crown. With 174 runs in just three matches, including two excellent half-centuries, he proves his skill and promise on the field.
All-rounder
Musheer Khan's performance in the tournament has been nothing short of exceptional, displaying incredible patience and cricketing abilities. He has had a huge impact, scoring 194 runs in three matches at an average of 64.66, including a century and a half-century. Moreover, his contribution extended beyond batting as he also managed to claim two wickets.
Taking on the role of India's finisher, Aravelly Avanish Rao often takes to the crease at No.7. Across three matches in the tournament, he demonstrated his capabilities by contributing 57 runs at a striking rate of 154.05.
Bowler
Saumy Pande's approach and trademark celebrations have earned him accolades within cricket circles. His standout performance in the ongoing World Cup includes an impressive tally of 8 wickets across 3 matches, with an economy rate hovering slightly above 2.
Adarsh Singh, Arshin Kulkarni, Musheer Khan, Uday Saharan (c), Priyanshu Moliya, Sachin Dhas, Aravelly Avanish (wk), Murugan Abhishek, Naman Tiwari, Raj Limbani, Saumy Pandey

New Zealand U19 ended the league stage with a demoralizing 10-wicket loss to Pakistan U19. That loss might hamper their momentum.
Their batsmen found themselves overwhelmed by Pakistan's relentless pace and expert spin bowling, culminating in a disappointing total of 140 runs. However, they secured their spot in the Super Sixes with narrow victories over Afghanistan and a convincing win against Nepal by 64 runs earlier in the tournament.
Players to watch out for
Batter
With an incredible display of batting prowess, Snehith Reddy secured the tournament's record for the highest individual score by a batter, notching an impressive 147* runs against Nepal. His stellar innings featured 11 fours and 6 sixes.
Oscar Jackson (113 runs in the last 3 matches at an average of 37.67) will also have a big role to play.
All-rounder
Oliver Tewatiya's all-round capabilities make him an important player for New Zealand, as he can provide key contributions with both bat and ball. Despite his lackluster performance in the current competition, he can be a potential game-changer and a big threat to India.
Bowler
Matt Rowe has emerged as New Zealand's standout bowler in this World Cup, claiming 6 wickets across 3 innings at an impressive average of 15.50 and an economy rate of 4.22.
Luke Watson, Tom Jones, Snehith Reddy, Oliver Tewatiya, Oscar Jackson (c), Lachlan Stackpole, Zac Cumming, Sam Clode (wk), Matt Rowe, Ryan Tsourgas, Mason Clarke
James Nelson, Tom Jones, Snehith Reddy, Ollie Tewatiya, Oscar Jackson, Lachlan Stackpole, Zac Cumming, Ryan Tsourgas, Mason Clarke, Alex Thompson, Ewald Schreuder
Bloemfontein is a high-scoring ground. It's a typical South African wicket, with extra pace and bounce for the seamers to exploit. However, once comfortable, batters can score a lot of runs here.
The weather in Bloemfontein will be cloudy for most part of the day but there is no threat of rain around.
India scored 300+ totals in consecutive matches at Mangaung Oval. It will be a tough ask to chase anything more than 260 here, so the team batting first will look to set a target of around 270-280 runs.
Four of the six matches played at Mangaung Oval in Bloemfontein have been won by the team batting first. It’s likely then that the team winning the toss will opt to bat first in this game.
Defending champions India U19 are in terrific form and look to have all bases covered. Meanwhile, that crushing loss in the previous game would have dented New Zealand U19’s confidence. While New Zealand will undoubtedly pose a tough challenge, India's current form suggests they are poised for victory.
India U19 are expected to win this match.
