TEAMS PREVIEW

Australia U19 Preview

Australia U19 have struggled heading into the World Cup. A 0-3 home loss to India was followed by another setback in this event’s opening warm-up, where Afghanistan U19 won by six wickets after rolling Australia for only 167. Problems in both departments need fast fixes, and this final practice game offers their last window to adjust before the real action begins under pressure and time running short for the squad.

Alex Lee Young is the one to watch after a fine series against India, then backing it up by top-scoring with 57 from 87 balls in the previous outing versus Afghanistan, which gave selectors plenty to think about.

Opener Steven Hogan is another batter to track, posting 95 runs across just two matches against India recently there.

Will Malajczuk and Kasey Barton steady the order, while Jayden Draper and John James bring muscle later in the innings for quick scoring chances.

Barton is the main bowling option for the team after topping his side’s wicket list against India, taking six dismissals at a 4.94 economy rate. He will get support from Charles Lachmund and Hayden Schiller, a pair offering different looks across spells. Malajczuk also chips in through off-spin, which can work well on this pitch during the middle overs for control and tying batters down as play unfolds steadily.

Australia U19 Predicted Playing XI:

(Batting XI, Fielding XI): Will Malajczuk, Steven Hogan, Nitesh Samuel, Oliver Peake(c), Alex Lee Young(w), Tom Hogan, Jayden Draper, John James, Aryan Sharma, Hayden Schiller, Naden Cooray, Kasey Barton, Charles Lachmund, Ben Gordon, Will Byrom

South Africa U19 Preview

South Africa Under-19s will be eager to bounce back after going down by 12 runs against Sri Lanka U19 in their opening warm-up. They have lost each of their past six games and badly need to find some flow in this final practice outing before the World Cup gets underway soon.

Improving their prospects starts with the batting unit stepping up. Jorich Van Schalkwyk, Muhammed Bulbulia, and Jason Rowles are the three names they will lean on most, given their current touch and their knack for posting big totals. Bulbulia signalled that touch by scoring a fluent 54 from 48 balls versus Sri Lanka, and the side now hopes Rowles and Schalkwyk lift their level in this particular contest ahead of the main event soon enough.

Adnaan Lagadien also has a role near the top, either pushing the pace early or settling matters if wickets tumble in the opening exchanges.

From a bowling angle, Enathi Khitshini and Daniel Bosman are tipped to shoulder much of the wicket-taking work. Bosman topped their charts last time, returning figures of 3-35 across seven overs. Bandile Mbatha and JJ Basson add further options who can strike at different stages for South Africa.

South Africa U19 Predicted Playing XI:

Adnaan Lagadien, Jorich Van Schalkwyk, Bayanda Majola, Muhammed Bulbulia(c), Paul James, Lethabo Phahlamohlaka(w), Corne Botha, Jason Rowles, Daniel Bosman, JJ Basson, Armaan Manack, Bandile Mbatha, Enathi Khitshini, Michael Kruiskamp, Ntando Soni

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

The deck at United Cricket Club Ground maintains consistency through a full one-day match. The wicket usually dries out and offers variable pace, creating opportunities for false strokes despite reasonable bounce through to the keeper. The square boundaries are extended, so where you hit the ball counts for plenty.

Cloudiness will increase throughout the day in Windhoek, bringing a couple of showers along with a heavy thunderstorm during the afternoon period.

AUSU19 vs RSAU19 Pitch Report

Most matches at United Cricket Club Ground produce scores in the 230–260 zone. Pushing past that requires calculated batting, not reckless strokeplay.

Toss: To Bowl

The forecast shows clouds hanging over the ground for the whole game, so the captain who wins the toss is certain to field first.
