South Africa U-19 are favorites to win
South Africa U-19 will take on Sri Lanka U-19 at Senwes Park, Potchefstroom in the Super Sixes of the 2024 Under-19 World Cup. This match gets underway at 10:00 local time on Friday 2nd February, 2024.
This is a fast wicket at Senwes Park with good bounce and carry for the bowlers. Confident batters can also take advantage of the surface but any timidity with the bat will be shown up very early in the innings.

Sitting in second place in Group 2 of the Super Sixes stage, South Africa U-19s have bounced back well in the tournament after losing their second game against England U-19s in Match 10. Another win in this fixture could see South Africa U-19s go top of their group.
Chasing only 103 to beat Zimbabwe U-19s in their last game, the result was never in doubt but what impressed most observers was the attacking intent of South Africa U-19s batters. We expect that to continue in this game with Lhuan-dre Pretorius and Steve Stolk both opening the batting after hitting multiple boundaries in the last match.
It was the opening batters who were able to enjoy their batting and take their side to victory in Match 31, but it was the bowlers who did the damage earlier in the game and will be key again in this fixture. Apart from a shortened time in the field against England U-19s, South Africa U-19s bowlers have taken 29 wickets from the other three games.
South Africa U-19s have lost just one game so far in the competition and are targeting their fourth win in a row.

Although they came out on the wrong side of their last game against West Indies U-19s, Sri Lanka U-19s were involved in a very entertaining and close clash. However, after losing by 3 wickets with 3 balls remaining, they must forget that match and focus exclusively on this game against the tournament hosts.
Sri Lanka U-19s could do with some top order runs in this match after none of their top three made it beyond 24 in the last game. Dinura Kalupahana comes into this match after hitting his third half-century from just four innings in this tournament.
Sri Lanka U-19s were always one wicket away from getting on top of West Indies U-19s in the last game and the bowlers along with their captain must take a slightly more attacking approach with the ball in this clash. Left-arm spinner Vishwa Lahiru continues to cause problems irrespective of the venue.
Sri Lanka U-19s did win two games in a row earlier in the tournament but have lost to Australia U-19s and West Indies U-19s in their last two matches.

We expect this to be a good contest between two teams who have enjoyed a mixture of wins and at least one defeat in the tournament. South Africa U-19s seem to be dealing well with the pressure of being hosts and they should have enough, particularly with the ball, to win this match. Sri Lanka U-19s are a talented team but at the moment they seem to be just a slight level below some of the other sides. We are predicting South Africa U-19s to win.
