IND-U19 vs NEPU19 Team Previews
India U19
India was undefeated during the group stages and has carried on with its good form in the Super Sixes too. The men in blue dismantled New Zealand by a whopping 214-run margin that not only gave them two points but also boosted the NRR. India is currently sitting at the top of its group.
Musheer Khan is in scintillating form as he has scored 2 centuries and a half-century in his 34 innings so far. Khan is also the leading run-scorer of the tournament with 325 runs. Khan has also picked up 4 wickets, cementing his all-round credentials.
Khan will be a vital cog in the middle order batting along with skipper Uday Saharan. Adarsh Singh is a consistent performer at the top of the order. He has two half-centuries against his name, including one in the last match, and will look to give the team a brisk start with Arshin Kulkarni.
The all-rounders SS Dhas and Priyanshu Moliya will play the role of finisher. Saumy Pandey has been brilliant with his left-arm spin and is among the leading wicket-takers of the tournament with 12 wickets. Naman Tiwari has bowled a good line and length to pick up 9 wickets.
The bowling from the other has been pretty decent too.

Nepal entered the Super Sixes with 0 points against its name and a 5-wicket loss against Bangladesh on Wednesday means that the team has no chance of making it to the next stage. Nevertheless, the team will be playing for pride here.
Arjun Kumal has played a couple of good knocks at the top of the order and will once again open the batting along with Bipin Rawal. Skipper Dev Khanal is the leading run-scorer for the team with 152 runs and will look for better support from the likes of Aakash Tripathi, Gulsan Jha, and Bishal Bikram.

Pitch and Conditions
The pitch at the Mangaung Oval is good to bat on. The average first-inning score on this ground in this tournament is around 280, but the team batting first will aim for the 300-run mark. The pitch does get slightly difficult to bat on during the second inning as the ball grips the surface, giving seamers and spinners something to work with.
The weather is likely to remain overcast and there are chances of rain, which may lead to a shortened match.
