After having a slight wobble and only managing to beat Namibia U-19s by 4 wickets when chasing 92 to win, Australia U-19s looked back to the level expected when they beat Zimbabwe U-19s by 225 runs on Thursday. They need to win this match to confirm top spot in Group C.
Top order runs went a long way to contributing to Australia U-19’s impressive 296/7 against Zimbabwe U-19s with the opening pair of Harry Dixon and Sam Konstas putting on 91 and another 86 added before two wickets were down. High numbers from the top three will go along way to securing another victory.
18 year old medium pacer Tom Straker, who took 3/16 against Namibia U-19s in the opening match, was the only player to go wicketless in Australia U-19s bowling attack against Zimbabwe U-19s. Harkirat Bajwa may well be the key with the ball again after starring on Thursday.
Australia U-19s are targeting their third successive victory in the tournament in this game.

Two wins and a 100% record in the tournament is the record so far for Sri Lanka U-19s who come into this match after beating Namibia U-19s by 77 runs in spite of only posting 133. Australia U-19s are going to be the first high quality opponents for Sri Lanka U-19s so it will be interesting to see how they get on in this match.
Number three batter Supun Waduge was the difference between the teams in Match 12 as he made 56 not out against Namibia U-19s. Sri Lanka U-19s also received 25 runs in extras in that game so the whole batting unit will need to contribute more to be competitive in this clash.
After the batters were left embarrassed at times in their last match, the Sri Lanka U-19 bowlers were far more impressive and they will have boosted their self-belief levels by dismissing Namibia U-19s for 56 ahead of this game against the powerhouse of Australia U-19s.
Sri Lanka U-19s have won by 39 runs (DLS) and 77 runs in this tournament so far.
Pulindu Perera, Sineth Jayawardena (c), Supun Waduge, Ravishan de Silva, Rusanda Gamage, Dinura Kalupahana, Sharujan Shanmuganathan (wk), Malsha Tharupathi, Vishwa Lahiru, Ruvishan Perera, Garuka Sanketh
Both teams have come through with two wins each in the group stage so far but have also not been perfect. That’s to be expected in tournament cricket where you want to peak in the final! Australia U-19s have looked stronger than Sri Lanka U-19s so far and we are backing them to come out on top and get the victory on Sunday.
