This is a good batting wicket in Potchefstroom where we are likely to see plenty of runs scored on Wednesday. The bounce is consistent and true on this pitch.

An 8-wicket win over Namibia U-19s in their final group stage game saw Zimbabwe U-19s qualify for the Super Sixes and set up this clash with near neighbours South Africa U-19s. However, they were beaten in their two opening matches in Group C.
Opener Panashe Taruvinga was the key for Zimbabwe U-19s getting over the line against Namibia U-19s with 59 not out from 115 balls. However, he, and the rest of his batting colleagues will need to bat at a much quicker rate to be competitive against South Africa U-19s.
Ryan Simbi has been Zimbabwe U-19s most consistent bowler in the tournament and we expect him to be a big threat in this match. Alongside him, Newman Nyamhuri comes into the game after taking 4/21 against Namibia U-19s although there are question marks against him as he was very expensive against Australia U-19s.
Zimbabwe U-19s have won two of their last four matches in this format.

It was a bit of a roller coaster ride in Group B for tournament hosts South Africa U-19s who began with a 31 run win over West Indies U-19s before losing to England U-19s. However, a 7 wicket win over Scotland U-19s in the final match saw the hosts finish top of the group on net-run-rate.
South Africa U-19s made Scotland U-19s bowlers look ordinary and also showed off how much of a good batting wicket it is in Potchefstroom as they chased down a victory target of 270 with 23 overs to spare! Opener Steve Stolk is a man in form after hitting seven fours and eight sixes in an aggressive innings in the last game.
South Africa U-19s bowling attack had an up and down day against Scotland U-19s where they bowled 23 wides and at one stage were struggling with the opponents on 200/2. However, they blew away the middle lower order and they will be looking to do the same against Zimbabwe U-19s..
South Africa U-19s have lost only one of their last five matches in this format.
Steve Stolk, Lhuan-dre Pretorius (wk), Tristan Luus, Dewan Marais, David Teeger, Richard Seletswane, Juan James (c), Romashan Pillay, Riley Norton, Sipho Potsane, Kwena Maphaka
Although this will be a clash between two near-neighbours on Wednesday, there certainly does look like being plenty of distance in terms of the abilities of both sides. South Africa U-19s came through a tough group as the winners and we are backing them to win this match at Senwes Park.
