It was a 13th placed finish for Scotland U-19 in the tournament two years ago and realistically anything above that will be considered a success. They have lost twice since arriving in South Africa and captain Owen Gould has a tough job in this opening match.
Although Scotland have not won either of their two warm-up matches, some commentators and observers have been impressed by their willingness to attack the opposition bowlers. Captain Gould and Uzair Ahmad are likely to be the batters to lead the batting in this match.
Mystery spin or genuine pace is usually a big weapon in U-19 cricket and Scotland U-19 do have Mackenzie Jones who will be one of the quickest bowlers in the tournament. Ibrahim Faisal can be inconsistent but does have the ability to bowl an unplayable delivery.
Scotland U-19 have lost warm-ups by 7 wickets to Nepal U-19 and 130 runs to New Zealand U-19

It was very nearly a tournament to remember for England U-19s who went all the way to the final only to lose to India U-19s two years ago in the Caribbean. The current batch will be encouraged by the progress of James Rew who is already playing for England Lions. Ben McKinney will captain England in this battle against their neighbours.
Plenty of cricket fans are looking forward to following the progress of 17 year old right-handed batter Hamza Shaikh in this tournament. He comes into this match off the back of hitting 62 against Pakistan U-19s on Wednesday. Jack Carney is another batter in strong form.
With the ball, England U-19 will look to 18 year old Eddie Jack who has already played six List A games for Hampshire and taken 9 wickets. Fellow Hampshire player Dominic Kelly, who has already played a first class match, is in excellent form.

Scotland U’19’s players will not need any extra motivation against England U-19s and they will fancy their chances of catching them before they get going in the tournament. This is a potential upset but we think that England U-19s have enough experience to not let that happen. Our prediction is for England U-19s to win.
