Scotland U-19 will take on Namibia U-19 at Willowmoore Park, Benoni in the 16th Place Play-Off of the 2024 Under-19 World Cup. This match gets underway at 10:00 local time on Thursday 1st February, 2024.
This is a good batting wicket at Willowmoore Park and the bowlers will have to work hard to pick up wickets across both innings. We expect a par score to be over 215.

It was a tough group stage for Scotland U-19s who were always going to struggle after being drawn against England U-19s, West Indies U-19s and South Africa U-19s. Unsurprisingly, Scotland U-19s were well beaten in all three games although there were some positives for them to take into this match.
They may have lost by 7 wickets with 138 balls remaining against South Africa U-19s in Match 21 on Saturday, but Scotland U-19s came out of the game with plenty of credit, particularly with the bat, after posting 269/9. They will fancy their chances of making a big total against Namibia U-19s as well.
Scotland U-19s took three wickets against South Africa U-19s with Adi Hegde taking one dismissal and Nikhil Koteeswaran picking up two. Logan Briggs was hit around the park in the last game but his left-arm spin could well cause problems for Namibia U-19s batters.
Scotland U-19s have lost by 7 wickets on two occasions and once by 5 wickets in this tournament.

Group C was a tough one for Namibia U-19s who were up against Australia U-19s, Sri Lanka U-19s and Zimbabwe U-19s. They picked up no points although surprisingly enough their smallest margin of defeat came against Australia U-19s who they caused problems against with the ball. We expect this to be another tough clash for Namibia U-19s.
Scoring enough runs was a real issue for Namibia U-19s who were bowled out for 91 against Australia U-19s and then 56 against Sri Lanka U-19s. However, they made three figures in their last match and will be target a 200+ score in this game.
After taking 16 wickets against Australia U-19s and Sri Lanka U-19s, some pundits expected Namibia U-19s to have a chance when setting Zimbabwe U-19s 147 to win. The bowling attack will need to step up in this game though after taking only two wickets in Match 20.
Namibia U-19s come into this match after defeats by 4 wickets, 77 runs and 8 wickets in this season’s tournament.

Both teams could have had easier groups and there was no real pressure on either side in those three matches which they lost. However, in this game, they will both fancy their chances of picking up their first victory. Scotland U-19 have the edge in our opinion as seen by their impressive batting against South Africa U-19s in the last game. Our prediction is for Scotland U-19s to win.
