With two defeats from two games, you could have thought that Afghanistan would be disappointed but although that is certainly the case, they will have taken confidence from losing by only 1 wicket to New Zealand on Wednesday. A win in this match will see them finish in third in Group D.
Extras were the leading run scorers for Afghanistan U-19s against New Zealand as only two of their batters made double figures in their total of 91 all out. So far, Afghanistan U-19s have struggled with the bounce at this venue and have made a combined 194 across both games.
With the ball, Afghanistan U-19s have been far more competitive and have taken 18 wickets from their two matches so far. 16 year old off-spinner AM Ghazanfar, who impressed in the warm-up games, will be full of confidence after taking 3/29 against New Zealand U-19s.
Afghanistan U-19s have been very disappointing with the bat and are facing the possibility of a third defeat in a row.

After defeats against New Zealand U-19s and Pakistan U-19s, Nepal U-19s are also unable to finish in the top three of Group D. However, there certainly were signs of improvement in the game against Pakistan U-19s on Wednesday for the side to bring into this match.
Four batters got scores of 20+ against a strong Pakistan U-19s bowling attack in the last match and we can expect to see some positive intent from Nepal U-19s batters in this clash. They will look to clear the ropes in this fixture as they managed this only three times in the last game.
Pakistan U-19s have a strong top order but they all found Akash Chand a tough bowler to face as he dismissed each of the top three on Wednesday. Dipesh Kandel, who bowls slow left-arm orthodox, has been a consistent performer in the tournament so far.
Nepal U-19s come into this game still looking for their first win of the tournament.

This will be the first meeting between the two countries at Under-19 level and the pressure is off after two defeats for both teams so far in the tournament. Both are stronger with the ball than with the bat in the conditions in East London and we are backing Nepal U-19s to get the win in this match.
