Winning Chances:
Toss Prediction:
A total of sixteen one-day international matches have been conducted at the Diamond Oval in Kimberley. In four of these contests, the team that put the infield first has emerged victorious. The second-batting team has eleven victories. In light of this, the captain who wins the coin will attempt to field first.
Weather Report:
We are anticipating some precipitation on Thursday during the game. The anticipated temperature throughout the contest is approximately 36 degrees, accompanied by winds of 30 k/m per hour. Cloud cover will provide assistance to the seamers for the day.
Pitch Report:
The Diamond Oval pitch in Kimberley provides a favorable surface for both seamers and spinners. The early phases of the match will be marked by this assistance for the fast bowlers. However, the batters can anticipate a consistent spin from the pitch, and the cricket match is certain to be fiercely contested.
Zimbabwe Under19 Preview:
Zimbabwe U-19s fell to Sri Lanka U-19s by 39 runs (DLS) in Match 6, as they were dismissed for 89 with five deliveries remaining in their 22-overs pursuit that had been reduced to 129. While no team wishes to be wiped out for 89 runs, their performance prior to this match was not terrible.
Zimbabwe Squad Predicted:
Nathaniel Hlabangana, Ryan Kamwemba (wk), Panashe Taruvinga, Campbell Macmillan, Ronak Patel, Kohl Eksteen, Matthew Schonken (c), Newman Nyamhuri, Brandon Sunguro, Ryan Simbi, Anesu Kamuriwo
Australia Under19 Preview:
Australia U-19s, one of the pre-tournament favorites, appeared to live up to their reputation on Monday when they dismissed Namibia U-19s for 91. Subsequently, Australia U-19 encountered challenges with their innings as they approached their target with five wickets remaining. The team will be hoping that their familiarity with the pitch will allow them to bat more effectively in this contest.
Australia Under19 Squad Predicted:
Harry Dixon, Sam Konstas, Hugh Weibgen (c), Harjas Singh, Ryan Hicks (wk), Corey Wasley, Raf MacMillan, Charlie Anderson, Tom Straker, Mahli Beardman, Callum Vider
Zimbabwe U19 vs Australia U19 Prediction:
The majority of pre-tournament forecasters predicted that Australia U-19s would have two straightforward matches to begin with. However, after observing their batting performance against Namibia U-19s, some are now questioning those predictions. Nonetheless, the Zimbabwe U-19s also encountered difficulties, and we believe that Australia U-19s bowling attack will be far too effective and propel them to yet another triumph.
