Meanwhile, New Zealand Under-19 faced a different scenario altogether. They were scheduled to play two matches as well, yet persistent rain forced both games to be abandoned without a result. As a consequence, their campaign began without any on-field assessment of form or momentum.
Therefore, the early stages of the event created contrasting paths for the two teams. While India Under-19 gained rhythm and valuable points, New Zealand Under-19 continued waiting for playable conditions, adding uncertainty to their progression in the competition.
