India U19 vs South African U19 Preview

As far as the records suggest, Willowmoore Park's surface is pretty even. It offers something for both batsmen and bowlers. It has plenty of seam movement but the bounce is consistent as well. Hence, we expect a good contest between the bat and the ball.

Team India looks well-balanced, accumulating performances from all departments. After handing over defeats by big margins to New Zealand U19 and Nepal U19 in the Super Six round. On the other hand, South Africa finished their Super Six round on a strong note as well. The hosts have defeated Zimbabwe U19 and Sri Lanka U19 by large margins in their last two games. Now, they are up against the reigning champions.

Musheer Khan is the leading run-scorer (334 runs) with the highest batting average. The Indian skipper Uday Saharan is the next-highest run-getter(308) in the tournament. Saumy Kumar Pandey is the pick of the bowlers among team India, looking for his third four wickets-haul in the third consecutive game.

Kwena Maphaka has been the star player for the hosts, picking up the highest number of wickets(18) in the tournament. Lhuan-dre-Pretorious, a wicket-keeper, batsman has added the most number of runs(211) for South Africa.
