ENG-U19 vs ZIM-U19 Team Previews
England U19
England came into the Super Six stage with just 2 points. The team then clashed against arch-rivals Australia earlier this week and were handed a heavy defeat. As a result, the team is now pushed down to the 5th spot on the table, with the hopes of reaching the semifinals all but extinguished.
Barring Ben McKinney and Noah Thain, the batting has been pretty ordinary for England. McKinney is the leading run-scorer for them with 184 runs scored at an average of 46.00. While there are some talented batsmen on the squad including Theo Wylie, Hamza Sheikh, Luc Benkenstein, and Jack Carney, they have been rather inconsistent.
The bowlers on the other hand have fared better and will once again hold the key for England. Tazeem Ali is the leading wicket-taker for them with 7 wickets and will lead the spin attack alongside Farhan Ahmed and Theo Wylie.
The pace attack consists of Sebastian Morgan and Noah Thain.

Theo Wylie, Ben McKinney, Jaydn Denly, Hamza Shaikh, Luc Benkenstein, Charles Allison , Haydon Mustard, Sebastian Morgan, Eddie Jack, Tazeem Ali, Charlie Barnard.
Zimbabwe U19
Zimbabwe has managed to win just 1 match in this tournament and is placed at the bottom of their group in the Super Sixes. They are already eliminated from the race to the semis and will be playing for pride.
It has been an ordinary performance by the batsmen and that is something that the team will look to improve on in this game. Ronak Patel is the leading run-getter for the team and will once again play an important role in the middle order.
He will be supported by Ryan Kamwemba, Brendon Sunguro, and Campbell Macmillan. The opening pair of Nathaniel Hlabangana and Panashe Taruvinga has struggled to give the team a good start on most occasions. Newman Nyamhuri and Ryan Simbi have bowled a couple of decent spells, picking up 6 wickets each.
However, more will be expected from Anesu Kamuriwo and Mashford Shungu.
