India U19 vs Australia U19 second Multi-Day fixture: date, IST start time and Ahmedabad venue

India U19 vs Australia U19 second Multi-Day fixture: the direct answer

The India U19 vs Australia U19 second Multi-Day fixture is scheduled to begin on Monday, 5 October 2026, at 09:30 IST. India Under-19 Men and Australia Under-19 Men are set to play at Narendra Modi Stadium B Ground in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. The fixture is listed as the second Multi-Day match, a four-day Youth Test and red-ball contest. For readers in India, 09:30 IST is the supplied local start time; no separate time conversion is needed.

This is an upcoming youth international fixture, not a limited-overs match. The practical details confirmed in the current schedule record are the two teams, date, India-time start, venue and four-day format. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) squad announcement and ESPNcricinfo’s match page are the linked sources for those details. As of the publication date, 3 October 2026 IST, the match remains scheduled for 5 October.

Confirmed India U19 vs Australia U19 match details

Readers looking for the India U19 vs Australia U19 2nd Youth Test date can plan around 5 October 2026. The listed start is 09:30 IST, making it a morning start for audiences following from India. The venue is Narendra Modi Stadium B Ground, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. These points are the core confirmed schedule information and are the details most useful before match day.

The scheduled contest is between the India Under-19 Men side and the Australia Under-19 Men side. Its designation matters: it is the second Multi-Day fixture, also described in the selection record as a four-day Youth Test or red-ball match. That means the appropriate context is multi-day youth cricket rather than an ODI or T20 fixture. The current record does not present it as a day-night game, a one-day match or a Twenty20 game, so none of those labels should be applied to this fixture.

For a quick diary entry, the essential line is simple: India Under-19 Men vs Australia Under-19 Men, second Multi-Day fixture, 5 October 2026, 09:30 IST, Narendra Modi Stadium B Ground, Ahmedabad. Keeping the full venue name in a reminder can help distinguish this B Ground listing from any other cricket activity associated with the wider Narendra Modi Stadium complex.

Date and India-time guide

The India U19 Australia U19 IST start time supplied for the fixture is 09:30 IST on 5 October 2026. India Standard Time is the relevant audience time zone in this schedule entry, so the listed time can be used directly by people in Ahmedabad and elsewhere in India. The available verified information does not provide another time-zone listing to convert from; consequently, this guide does not infer a local or overseas conversion beyond the confirmed 09:30 IST start.

Because this is a Multi-Day fixture, the date and start time identify the opening of the scheduled four-day match. They do not by themselves establish a finish time for any individual day, the precise close of play, intervals, gates opening, a broadcast window or a session-by-session timetable. Readers arranging a visit or viewing should treat 09:30 IST as the confirmed start detail and recheck the official source close to the date for any operational updates.

The match is two days away from this article’s 3 October 2026 IST publication date. That short lead time makes it especially helpful to save the date now and use the official BCCI information as the first reference point if a schedule update is announced. ESPNcricinfo’s independent fixture page is also linked below as a useful cross-check of the match listing.

Ahmedabad venue: Narendra Modi Stadium B Ground

The confirmed India U19 vs Australia U19 Ahmedabad venue is Narendra Modi Stadium B Ground in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. The venue wording is specific. It is not simply a general Ahmedabad label; it names the B Ground. People searching for the Narendra Modi Stadium B Ground U19 match should use that precise description when checking a fixture listing or making day-of plans.

Venue information is valuable, but it should not be expanded beyond what the verified record says. The record confirms the ground, city, state and country. It does not confirm spectator-entry arrangements, ticket availability, ticket prices, seating sections, parking, permitted items, gate times, accessibility provisions, media access, weather procedures, food services or ground-specific travel routes. Those practical matters can change and should be obtained from the venue, organisers or official channels rather than assumed from a schedule article.

For supporters travelling within Ahmedabad or from elsewhere, the cautious approach is to keep the venue name and 09:30 IST start together in a calendar note, allow time for the correct ground to be identified, and verify any attendance instructions shortly before departure. This article deliberately does not state that public entry is available because the supplied verified facts do not confirm it.

What the four-day Youth Test format means here

The fixture is identified as a four-day Youth Test and red-ball match. In schedule terms, that confirms it is a Multi-Day fixture and that its planned format extends over four days, beginning on 5 October. This is useful context for people who see the phrase ‘second Multi-Day fixture’ and want to know whether it refers to a one-day or Twenty20 contest: it does not.

At the same time, format information should be kept separate from claims that have not been confirmed for this specific game. The supplied sources establish the four-day red-ball designation, but the research record does not supply a daily timetable, playing-condition document, squad list within this article’s verified facts, match officials, captaincy information, squad availability, broadcasts or streaming details. Those items are therefore not included as factual match-day claims.

The second-fixture label indicates this is the second scheduled Multi-Day meeting in the relevant youth tour context. It should not be used to suggest anything about earlier match data, standings or individual performances, since no such facts are part of the verified selection for this article.

What is confirmed — and what is not confirmed

Confirmed: India Under-19 Men will face Australia Under-19 Men; the fixture is scheduled for 5 October 2026; the start time is 09:30 IST; the venue is Narendra Modi Stadium B Ground, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India; and the format is the second Multi-Day fixture, a four-day Youth Test/red-ball match. Those details agree across the official BCCI announcement and the independent ESPNcricinfo match-page reference identified in the selection research.

Not confirmed by the supplied verified facts: the final playing XIs, player roles, captains, match officials, daily start and finish times beyond the listed match start, television or digital viewing arrangements, radio coverage, spectator access, tickets, weather, practice times, squad changes, injuries, pitch information, team selections and match data. The absence of those details here is intentional. It prevents a scheduled-fixture guide from presenting assumptions as settled information.

This page makes no claims about how either team will perform or about likely individual contributions. Its purpose is to give a clear, people-first answer to date, time, ground and format questions while pointing readers toward sources they can revisit for updates. After verified play and data are available, Reddy News’ [cricket statistics](/cricket/statistics/) section and [cricket match analysis](/cricket/match-analysis/) section are relevant places to find broader statistical and post-match coverage.

Practical match-day checklist for readers

First, note the confirmed essentials: Monday, 5 October 2026; 09:30 IST; Narendra Modi Stadium B Ground, Ahmedabad; India Under-19 Men versus Australia Under-19 Men; second Multi-Day fixture. Put the match title, not only ‘India U19 match’, into a calendar reminder. That reduces the risk of confusing this fixture with a different age-group game or a different venue in the same city.

Second, check the official BCCI source again near match day. Schedule pages and squad announcements are the appropriate place to look for any official notice that affects the published arrangement. Then compare the basic listing with ESPNcricinfo’s independent match page. Using both sources is a sensible way to confirm that the date, India-time start, venue and format continue to align, rather than relying on an unsourced social post or an old search snippet.

Third, do not assume logistics that are not announced. If attending is possible, use official organiser or venue communications to confirm public access, entry procedures, any ticketing, and other ground-day instructions. If following remotely, check official or established broadcaster information for availability, as this article does not have verified viewing details. The confirmed schedule establishes when and where the fixture is planned to begin; it does not itself guarantee a particular route, entry arrangement or viewing platform.

Finally, remember that this is an upcoming four-day red-ball fixture. Planning around the 5 October start is useful, but readers should look for any official update if their arrangements depend on subsequent days. The published schedule information is the foundation; operational specifics should be verified as close to attendance or viewing as possible.

Why source checking matters for this youth fixture

A useful fixture guide makes a clear distinction between a confirmed schedule fact and a detail that has not yet been published or independently verified. For the India U19 vs Australia U19 second Multi-Day fixture, that approach is straightforward: the BCCI announcement is the official source, while ESPNcricinfo provides an independent match-page reference. Both are linked in the Sources section so that readers can inspect the current listing directly.

The available research describes source confidence as high because those two references agree on the teams, Ahmedabad ground, 5 October start, four-day status and 09:30 IST start. Agreement on those points supports publishing a concise planning guide. It does not turn other unlisted details into confirmed facts. A reader should still return to the official channel for late changes and use the independent listing as a cross-check.

That reader-first discipline is particularly helpful when searches use variations such as ‘India U19 vs Australia U19 2nd Youth Test date’, ‘India U19 Australia U19 IST start time’, or ‘India U19 vs Australia U19 Ahmedabad venue’. The answer remains the same: 5 October 2026, 09:30 IST, Narendra Modi Stadium B Ground in Ahmedabad, and a four-day Youth Test. The rest should be confirmed through current official notices, not guessed in advance.
