The Under-19 Cricket World Cup is set to kick-off on 19th January 2024 at Bloemfontein in South Africa. 16 teams from around the world are set to participate in the top ICC event for the young talent. India are the defending champions after lifting the trophy in 2022 in West Indies.
48 matches, including super six round and knockouts, will take place across 5 venues in South Africa. 16 teams have been divided into 4 groups with each group containing 4 teams. The teams need to stay at top of the table to advance to the next stages and the final match is scheduled to take place on 11th February in Benoni.
Let’s take a detailed look at the predictions for the U19 World Cup 2024.
According to our analysis, we are backing India U19 to lift the Under-19 World Cup trophy once again. They have been in good form lately with some positive confidence after the U19 Tri-Series in South Africa in December-January 2023-24.
The batting line-up looks pretty strong with the likes of skipper Uday Saharan, Arshin Kulkarni and Adarsh Singh as the key players. Arshin was the leading run scorer for India in the U19 Asia Cup which happened in December 2023. He smashed 138 runs at a strike rate of 83.63. Captain Uday Saharan smashed a brilliant century against South Africa in the Tri-Series 2023-24 while Adarsh Singh was the highest run scorer of the same series with 230 runs in 3 innings which included 30 fours.
In the Indian bowling department, the U19 team has Raj Limbani, Saumy Pandey and Naman Tiwari as the key players. Raj Limbani was brilliant in the U19 Asia Cup where he picked 12 wickets in 4 matches and finished as the highest wicket taker of the tournament. Saumy Pandey and Naman Tiwari took 9 and 7 wickets, respectively, in the Tri-Series in South Africa.
To go with one team as the underdogs for the U19 World Cup, we will back the Bangladesh Under-19 team to surprise everyone with their performance. Bangladesh won the U19 Cricket World Cup in 2020 which also took place in 2020.
Since their first ever title win at the U19 World Cup, Bangladesh has won a number of series against teams like India, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and South Africa. Their last win was the biggest one as they lifted their first ever U19 Asia Cup trophy in December 2023. They defeated a strong Indian side in the semi-final match then won the final against hosts UAE by a huge margin of 195 runs.
