TEAMS PREVIEW
South Africa U19 Preview
South Africa U19 are coming off an authoritative win over Zimbabwe U19 in their first Super Six match. They bowled out the opposition for just 102 in Potchefstroom and chased down the target in just 13.3 overs with 9 wickets remaining.
Kwena Maphaka was the star of the match for the home side, taking 5-34 in his 10 overs. The left-arm fast bowler now has 12 wickets in just 4 matches at an average of 12.58.
All-rounder Riley Norton (7 wickets in 3 matches at an average of 17.28) is another bowler to keep an eye out for.
Among the batters, Steve Stolk tops the charts with 192 runs in 4 matches at an average of 48.
Dewan Marais has been incredible as well, and averages 93.50 with 187 runs to his name in 3 innings.
Lhuan-dre Pretorius remained unbeaten on 53 in South Africa’s previous match against Zimbabwe. The in-form opener might have an important part to play in this game.
South Africa U19 Predicted Playing XI:
Lhuan-dre Pretorius (wk), Steve Stolk, David Teeger, Richard Seletswane, Dewan Marais, Romashan Pillay , Juan James (c), Riley Norton, Raeeq Daniels, Tristan Luus, Kwena Maphaka

Sri Lanka U19 Preview
Sri Lanka U-19 will be hoping to do much better in their campaign than how they have performed so far. They managed two wins in the league stage against Zimbabwe and Namibia, and lost convincingly to Australia. In their first Super Six match, they were thumped by 6 wickets by West Indies in Kimberley, after being bowled out for 231.
Sri Lanka’s main issue has been the lack of form of their batting unit. So far, only Dinura Kalupahana (177 runs in 4 innings at 44.25) and Supun Waduge (104 runs in 3 innings at 52) have been the most consistent. These two middle-order batters have to do the bulk of the scoring against South Africa.
The team management would expect some runs from the likes of Rusanda Gamage and Sharujan Shanmuganathan. They have looked in decent touch but haven’t got the big runs yet.
Their bowling has been led by slow left-arm spinner Vishwa Lahiru, who has 9 wickets in 4 innings at an average of just 9.66. Ruvishan Perera, Malsha Tharupathi, and Dinura Kalupahana have been in form as well, taking 5 wickets each.
Sri Lanka U19 Predicted Playing XI:
Pulindu Perera, Vishen Halambage, Sineth Jayawardena (c), Supun Waduge, Ravishan de Silva, Dinura Kalupahana, Sharujan Shanmuganathan (wk), Malsha Tharupathi, Vishwa Lahiru, Vihas Thewmika, Ruvishan Perera

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
Senwes Park in Potchefstroom is one of the most seamer-friendly surfaces in South Africa. Batting isn’t easy here and seamers get plenty of movement and bounce off the pitch consistently. The tall pacers from South Africa are likely to make life difficult for Sri Lanka’s batters on this surface.
The weather in Potchefstroom during the day of the match will be partly sunny and pleasant.
RSAU19 vs SLU19 Pitch Report
The average first innings score in Senwes Park over the last 7 matches is 201. The first innings scores in the last three matches here have been 269-9, 181, and 102. We reckon a target of around 260-270 will be a match-winning one.
Toss: To Bowl
Each of the last four matches in this tournament played at Senwes Par in Potchefstroom have been won by the chasing side. Thus, it seems likely that the team winning the toss will look to field first.
RSAU19 vs SLU19
Winning Prediction
South Africa U19 have lost just one match in their ICC Under-19 World Cup 2024 campaign – to England 19. That blip aside, they have looked like an extremely sorted unit with most bases covered. Playing at home, especially, gives them a massive advantage. And on this pitch, their seam bowlers will be quite a handful. Sri Lanka U-19 have had their moments, but they don’t look strong enough to take down South Africa U-19.
We are backing South Africa U-19 as the winners of this match.
