NEPU19 vs BAN-U19 Team Previews
Nepal U19
Nepal will start their Super Sixes campaign from second-last position in group one. Their most recent results were defeats to New Zealand and Pakistan. The Nepal team are faced with a big challenge in trying to reach the next stage of the tournament.
Dev Khanal and Arjun Kumal have been their standout performers with the bat this tournament. Khanal has 117 runs in three innings to Kumal's 106 in three. Both will need to be on point if Nepal are to overcome the challenges posed by Bangladesh in Bloemfontein.
Aakash Chand has been Nepal's most prolific bowler in South Africa. He has eight wickets in three matches. This is double the number of wickets taken by any team-mate. To average more than two wicket per match, in this format, for an extended period, is impressive.

Bangladesh U19
Bangladesh's Super Sixes journey will start from fourth position in group one after beating Ireland and losing to India in the group stage. Bangladesh Under-19, like the senior men's national team, are capable of doing big things on any given day. Let's see how they might fare this time.
Shihab James and Ariful Islam will probably be key for Bangladesh with the bat again. Nepal have to set getting these two out early high on their agenda. Islam has hit 157 runs in three innings at the 2024 Under-19 World Cup, while James has gathered 140 in three.
Maruf Mridha and Mahfuzur Rabby have shared 13 wickets this tournament. They have been a prolific combination - one of the best in South Africa this month. How they perform collectively and individually on this occasion could also have a big influence on the outcome of the contest.
