13th Match: Australia versus Zimbabwe, Group B at Lincoln

14th Match: kiwis versus Kenya, group A at hagley oval

15th Match: South Africa against my boys...Day-night fixture group A at Mount Maunganui, will be televised.

Zimbabwe are stuttering a bit here. They should be careful. 4 down for them already and not too much runs on the board.

[aklemalp]

Afghanistan are ambling slowly, but the good thing is that they have only lost the solitary wicket. A good partnership developing, in the forties

[aklemalp]

The Kiwis are piling on the runs against the Kenyans. Both of their openers have crossed fifty.

It's now 130/0 after 23 overs

[aklemalp]

Zimbabwe are in jeopardy of falling under 100.

Currently 79/6

[aklemalp]

The Afghans have crossed 100, still only the one wicket down for them. Half of the overs have been bowled.

[cricket_king]

LOL @ poor Kenya U19s. NZ 352/1 after 40-odd overs. This will be a record score for sure.

Afghans amassing a big total as well. Doubt Lanka will chase it down.

[Eshen]

How is that Afghan "boy" wonder Bahir Shah came to bat so late ?!

[One World]

NZ scored 436!
And again most runs made by 2 openers of Indian origin :p

Challenging score to chase for Lanka. I think Afg got this.

[aklemalp]

Come on Windies!

We need a wicket

[aklemalp]

Yes!

2 quick wickets. Tonder goes for a duck!

Capitalize on this boys.


Go Windies!

[aklemalp]

We got them 4 down and they have just crossed 100

[Match Adda]

Afghanistan deserves to play semi.... they r most improved team for last 10 years ... they r way ahead of Zimbabwe and Ireland national team ... even better then srilanka now days .
They will be group champions for sure ... might play semi or dreaming with the hur (final).

[Match Adda]

Bd will beat England tomorrow and will play against Australia... what a match would be...
Bangladesh u19 boys gotta understand... this time or never ... perfect team condition along with bpl players... no excuses Gona be accepted by fans .... go

[aklemalp]

The two SLAs from windies are tying the South African batsmen

[aklemalp]

I thoroughly enjoyed this special innings from Makwetu. An innings of grit and perseverance.

Finished on 99*, but more importantly took his team to an imposing 282... at one stage they were 112/5.

My windies ain't going nowhere in this tournament with this pathetic bowling.

I'm behind the south Africans to lift the world cup

[Eshen]

^^ As per recent results, both India (thrashed SA in warm-up) and England (beat SA at SA 2-1) are better teams than SA.

[aklemalp]

^^ still doesn't change a thing. I'm still with South Africa

[One World]

India seems invincible.

[cricket_king]

Afghanistan is gonna make semis for sure and may be the only challenger to India. NZ next best as they're home bullies.

[One World]

So BD is underdog now 😃

[One World]

I think WIndies cannot do such stunts like flying in a new pacer without notice, ICC may not allow such inclusion anymore. That history changing event of showing thumb to all policies while getting in a new bowler has left a dark patch in the U19 history and as host BD remains to be the silent victim of that shameful event.

2016 Mankading
2018 Obstructing the field

What other below belt gestures awaits from mighty WIndies?
