Weather Report
The weather looks ideal for a game of cricket. Clear skies with plenty of sunshine has been forecast for Thursday. Temperatures are expected to hover around 30 degrees Celsius throughout the match.
Pitch Condition
The pitch at the Senwes Park generally does not produce too many high-scoring games and it has been that sort of a surface in this tournament. South Africa U19 did amass 349 here last week but that was against a weak bowling line-up of Canada U19.
Toss Prediction
The wicket at this ground is expected to get slower as the match progresses. And also since the last two completed matches here have been won by the side batting first, the toss-winning captain will probably opt to bat first.

Bangladesh U19 Team News & Playing 11
BAN U19 Team News
Bangladesh made just the one change in their team for the rained-out clash against Pakistan, leaving out left-arm pace bowler Mrittunjoy Chowdhury and picking all-rounder Avishek Das. Mahmudul Hasan Joy, who batted in the middle order in the game against Scotland, was sent in at number three ahead of Towhid Hridoy last time and it will be interesting to see whether Bangladesh decide to keep the same batting order for this knock-out match.
BAN U19 Key Players
Parvez Hossain Emon: Averaging 44 and with a strike-rate of 146.66, Parvez Hossain Emon has scored the most runs for Bangladesh so far in this U19 World Cup. The opener had cracked an unbeaten fifty in the opening match against Zimbabwe.
Rakibul Hasan: He has been the pick of the bowlers for Bangladesh in this tournament. The left-arm spinner has taken five wickets at an economy of 7.80 and took a four-wicket haul last week against Scotland.
Mahmudul Hasan Joy: He has chipped in with a couple of decent contributions with the bat - 38* versus Zimbabwe and 35* versus Scotland. Mahmudul can also be used as a pinch-hitter at the top of the order.
BAN U19 Recent Form
Bangladesh U19 have been in terrific form in the game's 50-over format, winning 10 of their last 11 completed matches including the last seven on the bounce. They have finished at the top of their group's points table in the ongoing U19 World Cup 2020 with two wins and a washout from three matches. Bangladesh began their campaign with a comprehensive nine-wicket victory over Zimbabwe before securing another comfortable seven-wicket win over Scotland. They had to split points with Pakistan last time out as the match had to be called-off due to rain.
Bangladesh U19 Predicted Playing 11
Parvez Hossain Emon, Tanzid Hasan, Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Towhid Hridoy, Shahadat Hossain, Akbar Ali (c/wk), Shamim Hossain, Avishek Das, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Rakibul Hasan, Shoriful Islam
South Africa U19 Team News & Playing 11
SA U19 Team News
South Africa had made a couple of changes to their line-up for the previous game against United Arab Emirates; they replaced Andrew Louw and Mondli Khumalo with Pheko Moletsane and Odirile Modimokoane respectively. Khanya Cotani was promoted to the opening position and he could again open the innings alongside Jonathan Bird. The South Africans don't have any injury issues at the moment and we expect them to go into this game unchanged.
SA U19 Key Players
Bryce Parsons: The South Africa U19 skipper is leading the tournament's runs chart having scored 245 runs at an incredible average of 81.66. Parsons is coming off an 83-ball 84 in the last game against the UAE.
Luke Beaufort: He is averaging 47 and is another key batsman at the top of the order. Beaufort has batted well in all the three games and scored an impressive 85 last time out.
Achille Cloete: The fast bowler has been the standout performer with the ball for South Africa in this U19 World Cup. Cloete has picked five wickets at a healthy economy rate of 5.85.
SA U19 Recent Form
South Africa U19 have played 19 youth one-day internationals since the start of last year out of which they have managed to win only six of them which shows how badly they have been faring in this format of the game. This World Cup, they have won two and lost one out of the three matches they have played so far to finish second in the Group D standings. After a shocking seven-wicket loss to Afghanistan in their opening game, South Africa bounced back with consecutive wins over Canada (by 150 runs) and United Arab Emirates (by 23 runs).
South Africa U19 Predicted Playing 11
Jonathan Bird, Khanya Cotani (wk), Bryce Parsons (c), Luke Beaufort, Tyrese Karelse, Tiaan van Vuuren, Jack Lees, Pheko Moletsane, Merrick Brett, Achille Cloete, Odirile Modimokoane
Bangladesh U19 vs South Africa U19 Head to Head

🏆 Bangladesh U19 vs South Africa U19 Prediction
Bangladesh U19 are yet to face defeat in this World Cup and they will go into this match high on confidence after having topped their group standings. They also have a strong record against South Africa U19 and have won three of their last four matches against them. Having said that, South Africa are playing on their home soil and have a much better idea of the pitch and ground conditions as compared to Bangladesh. The former have a superior top-order batting and this is another reason why we are backing them to win this quarter-final.
