Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s Record vs Pakistan

While 14-year-old sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi has been a standout performer in the 2026 World Cup with 166 runs in four matches, his historical record against Pakistan in Youth ODIs remains relatively modest. In three matches played against the arch-rivals, he has managed only 32 runs, with a top score of 26.

The Standings

Team	Points	Net Run Rate (NRR)
India	6	+3.337
England	8	+1.757
Pakistan	4	+1.484

What India Needs to Qualify

A Victory: Guarantees India a spot in the semi-finals as the Group 2 winners.
If India Loses: They can still qualify provided the defeat is by a margin smaller than 85 runs. If chasing, they must ensure Pakistan does not reach the target before 31.5 overs (or roughly 33.2 overs if the target is 250).

What Pakistan Needs to Qualify

Large-Margin Win: Simply winning is not enough; they must beat India by at least 105 runs (if batting first) to overhaul India's NRR.
Chasing Scenario: If India scores 250, Pakistan must chase it down in 29.4 overs or fewer to leapfrog India in the standings.
