The tenth match of the Under-19 World Cup will take place at Manguang Oval in Bloemfontein, and it will feature South Africa U-19 competing against England U-19. At nine forty-five minutes past the hour, local time, on Tuesday, January 23, 2024, this match will begin.
Winning Chances:
Toss Prediction:
Two encounters have been played at Senwes Park in Potchefstroom thus far in the current Under-19 World Cup. When the toss was won on both occasions, the captain elected to bowl initially.
It is likely that the team that prevails in this toss will also choose to field first. This will allow them to pursue an objective instead of setting one.
Weather Report:
Some rain is forecast in Potchefstroom on matchday, but perhaps not enough to interrupt the fixture.
Pitch Report:
At the Manguang Oval, the pitch is one on which batters can confidently execute their strokes. Excellent velocity and rebound are characteristics of this surface.
Head to Head:
Three South African Under-19 teams have triumphed over one England Under-19 team in their last four meetings. Since 2018, however, South Africa Under-19 have not defeated England Under-19.
South Africa Under19 Preview:
The South Africa U-19s began the day on a winning note by defeating the West Indies U-19s by 31 runs on Friday. There is always some additional burden on the hosts, but that did not manifest itself as Juan James’ side amassed 285/9 and then despatched the opposition for 254. However, this game ought to be considerably more difficult.
South Africa Under19 Squad Predicted:
Lhuan-dre Pretorius (wk), Steve Stolk, David Teeger, Richard Seletswane, Oliver Whitehead, Dewan Marais, Romashan Pillay, Juan James (c), Riley Norton, Kwena Maphaka, Martin Khumalo
England Under19 Preview:
Ben Mckinney’s squad enters this match against the hosts seeking to make it two victories in a row in the tournament, following a comfortable 7-wicket triumph over their local rivals Scotland U-19s with 142 deliveries remaining. There are no concerns regarding injuries prior to this match.
England Under19 Squad Predicted:
Jaydn Denly, Ben McKinney (c), Noah Thain, Hamza Shaikh, Luc Benkenstein, Charlie Allison, Dominic Kelly, Jack Carney (wk), Sebastian Morgan, Eddie Jack, Farhan Ahmed
South Africa U19 vs England U19 Prediction:
A lively and high-caliber matchup awaits the hosts and the runner-up from the previous U-19 World Cup, following victories in their respective initial games. The England U-19s appear marginally more formidable with the ball and the bat, so we are placing our wager on them to prevail.
