While the group stage of the tournament has come to an end, the tournament has moved into the Super Six stage of the competition. Even though India vs Pakistan is a much sought-after rivalry in any level of the sport, there won’t be an IND vs PAK match in the Super six stage of the U19 World Cup 2024.
