After beating Namibia U-19s and Zimbabwe U-19s to confirm their place in the Super Sixes, Sri Lanka U-19s were beaten in their final group stage against Australia U-19s on Sunday. However, they have the advantage ahead of this match that this venue is where they played all their group stage matches.
Although Pulindu Perera was dismissed for a four-ball duck at the top of the order against Australia U-19s, the rest of the batting order, numbers two to eight, all got in and made double figure scores. In this clash, Sri Lanka U-19s will need more of their recognised batters to kick on and make a significant score.
Defending a target of 209, Sri Lanka U-19s took four wickets and took the match to the 48.5th delivery in the defeat against Australia U-19s. Slow left-arm orthodox bowler Vishwa Lahiru was very impressive in the last game and he will be a key player for Sri Lanka U-19s in this match.
Sri Lanka U-19s picked up victories by 39 runs (DLS) and 77 runs in their opening two matches in the competition.
Pulindu Perera, Sineth Jayawardena (c), Supun Waduge, Ravishan de Silva, Dinura Kalupahana, Rusanda Gamage, Maisha Tharupathi, Sharujan Shanmuganathan (wk), Vishwa Lahiru, Ruvishan Perera, Garula Sanketh
After losing to host South Africa U-19s in their first match of the tournament, West Indies U-19s looked likely to struggle but they then beat Scotland U-19s before beating the previously undefeated England U-19s by two wickets on Friday. They will fancy their chances of making it three wins in a row in this game.
West Indies U-19s needed 193 runs to beat England U-19s and thanks to 58 from skipper Stephan Pascal, 49 not out from Nathan Edward and 31 from Jordan Johnson, not to mention 28 extras, they did it. They will need at least three batters to make that kind of contribution again in this match.
Sri Lanka U-19s batters will be wary of facing West Indies U-19s bowlers in this match after the entire unit bowled brilliantly in the last game. Only Johsua Dorne went wicketless in that fixture and the opening pair of Nathan Edward and Isai Thorne are both in excellent form.
West Indies U-19s lost their opening fixture but come into this match looking for their third successive victory.
Adrian Weir, Stephan Pascal (c), Joshua Dorne, Jordan Johnson, Mavendra Dindyal, Jewel Andrew (wk), Nathan Edward, Nathan Sealy, Tarrique Edward, Raneico Smith, Isai Thorne
This looks like being an excellent game between two strong sides who have picked up good wins in the initial group stage. Sri Lanka U-19s will enjoy playing on this pitch again but it is West Indies U-19s who come into the match after a really strong victory over England U-19s, the runners-up in the last Under-19 World Cup. Our prediction is for West Indies U-19s to win.
