There was a high-scoring contest at Buffalo Park on Sunday as New Zealand U-19s took on Nepal U-19s in Match 7. In total, 540 runs were hit and 17 wickets fell before New Zealand U-19s came out on top by 64 runs but we expect this to be a closer contest against Afghanistan U-19s.
New Zealand U-19s had right-handed 17 year old Snehith Reddy to thank for their total of 302/8 in Match 7 as he finished unbeaten on 147 not out. Skipper Oscar Jackson will also be looking forward to batting again at East London after making 75 against Nepal U-19s.
New Zealand U-19s have an excellent range of variety in their bowling attack and only Oliver Tewatiya and Snehith Reddy come into this match after going wicketless in their opener. Mason Clarke will open the bowling again and he took a wicket with his third ball on Sunday.
New Zealand U-19s impressed in Match 7 but will want to bowl with more accuracy in this clash.
Tom Jones, Luke Watson, Snehith Reddy, Oliver Tewatoya, Oscar Jackson (c), Lachlan Stackpole, Zac Cumming, Alex Thompson (wk), Matt Rowe, Ewald Schreuder, Mason Clarke
After coming into this tournament with plenty of excitement and some pundits tipping them for a run to at least the semi-finals, Afghanistan U-19s got off to a very disappointing start against Pakistan U-19s who beat them by 181 runs. Naseer Khan Maroofkhil has a big job on his hands to rebuild the confidence of his side for this match.
Only three of Afghanistan U-19s batters made it into the twenties against Pakistan U-19s although none of them were able to progress into the thirties. Batting on the same pitch in this game, it may be that Afghanistan U-19s take a more positive approach in this match.
Although it was a heavy defeat in Match 5 for Afghanistan U-19s, their bowlers did emerge with credit. Khalil Ahmed was the pick of the bowling attack with Bashir Ahmad and AM Ghazanfar also impressing. The side will also need an improved fielding display in this game.
Afghanistan U-19’s come into this game looking to avoid a second defeat in four days in this tournament.
Wafiullah Tarakhil, Hassan Eisakhil, Jamshid Zadran, Sohail Khan Zurmati, Numan Shah (wk), Rahimullah Zurmati, Naseer Khan Maroofkhil (c), Arab Gul, AM Ghazanfar, Khalil Ahmed, Bashir Ahmad
New Zealand U-19s got off to a winning start against Nepal U-19s but it was not a perfect performance and there were signs of weakness in their side. However, Afghanistan U-19s will be very low on confidence, particularly with the bat ahead of this game. Our prediction is for New Zealand U-19s to get the win and make it two wins from two in the tournament.
