It was a winning start for South Africa U-19s who defeated West Indies U-19s by 31 runs on Friday. As hosts there is always a bit of additional pressure but there was no sign of it as Juan James’ side posted 285/9 and then dismissed the opposition for 254. However, this game should be a much tougher contest.
There were three standout batters for South Africa U-19s in the win over West Indies U-19s with keeper-batter Lhuan-dre Pretorius hitting 40 at the top of the order and middle-order batter Dewan Marais top scoring with 65 runs from 38 balls. Juan James will also come into this match with confidence after hitting three fours and a six.
It would be a huge surprise if Kwena Maphaka did not open the bowling again in this match after the left-arm pace bowler took the Player of the Match Award in Match 2. He took a wicket with his second ball and was well backed up by Riley Norton. Martin Khumalo is expected to miss this game through injury.
South Africa U-19s got the win against West Indies U-19s but there is still room for improvement with bat and ball.

Ben Mckinney’s side come into this clash against the hosts looking to make it two wins from two in the tournament after a comfortable victory by 7 wickets with 142 balls remaining over their local rivals Scotland U-19s. There are no injury worries ahead of this fixture.
If South Africa U-19s are to compete in this game then they will need to find a way of breaking the opening partnership earlier than Scotland U-19s managed on Saturday. Captain McKinney struck 88 runs from 68 balls in the opener with Jaydn Denly also making a useful 40.
England U-19s have a very talented bowling unit and it was only Eddie Jack who went wicketless against Scotland U-19s. That said, Jack conceded only 20 runs from his eight overs so he will be confident ahead of this match. Luc Benkenstein and Farhan Ahmed both come into this game after three-wicket hauls on Saturday.
England U-19’s produced an excellent display in both innings to begin their campaign against Scotland U-19s.

After wins for both teams in their opening games, this should be an entertaining and high-quality clash between the hosts and the runners-up from the last U-19 World Cup. England U-19s look slightly stronger with both bat and ball so we are backing them to win.
