ICC Under-19 World Cup

You like a stuck vinyl record.

bring dem on

West Indies will face India in the finals.

Meanwhile, the final play-off matches continue on. With a fifth-place finish on the line, England scored 264/7 against Pakistan. It was pleasing to see England put up a decent total after Dan Lawrence and Jack Burnham - their two most consistent batsman - were dismissed for single-figures. Sam Curran lead the fightback with 83.

England playing a game for the fifth place playoff might not seem like a glorious way to end the competition, but with the senior team playing as well as they have in south Africa, I think the U19's have shown that there is a lot more talent coming through now than what there as been recently, so the future looks bright for English cricket.

hhhhmmmm....looks like the series will level after this current game

and they are heading to Cape Town.

Wow !! right down to the last wicket !

While England wasn't the best yesterday, I do think whatever the outcome of the ODI, they'll look back, as will the England fans and think the south African your as been a success.

Better than we expected anyway, and for a team that you could say is still finding its feet, I'm happy enough with how the team is progressing up to now.

"We have talked about it yes, but nobody tends to have that pressure in them.

The team is very confident and positive after the last two wins, going into the final.

Pressure has not got into anyone and let's hope it stays that way."

West Indies Under-19s captain Shimron Hetmyer on :

whether his team is feeling the pressure of playing in the final 

         

From the moment Keemo Paul 'Mankaded' the last Zimbabwe scalp to get us into the quarter-finals, I sensed that this team wasn't there for pleasantries. They're there to fight. In that one act, I saw a team that wanted desperately to win and was prepared to be ruthless about it.
