RSA-U19 vs SL-U19 Team Previews
South Africa U19
South Africa has been pretty consistent in this tournament. The team topped the Group B table with 2 wins in 3 matches and also made a winning start to the Super Six stage by defeating Zimbabwe. Another win here and the team will cruise along to the semifinals.
The opening pair of Lhuan-dre Pretorius and Steve Stolk is in excellent form and has given the team some good starts. Stolk is the leading run-getter for his team, scoring 192 runs at an average of 48.00. Dewan Marais is another batsman to watch out for.
He has scored 2 half-centuries in his 3 innings so far and will be a vital cog in the middle-order batting. The hosts will bank on its strong seam attack to yet again deliver the goods in this game. Kwena Maphaka picked up a fifer in the last match and is now among the leading wicket-takers of the tournament.
He has received excellent support from Riley Norton, who has 7 wickets against his name. The others in the bowling setup include Tristan Luus and Raeeq Daniels.

Sri Lanka U19
Sri Lanka is currently 4th on the points table. The team must win here, and that too with a healthy margin, if they want to remain in the race for the semifinals.
The team is coming into this contest on the back of consecutive losses and will be a bit low on morale. The opening pair of Pulindu Perera and Vishen Halambage isn’t in the best of forms and has struggled to give the team a good start. The middle order on the other hand has performed better.
Dinura Kalupahana has scored 3 half-centuries in his 4 innings and is also the top run-getter for his team. He has received good support from Supun Waduge and Sharujam Shanmuganathan. Left-arm spin bowler Vishwa Lahiru is the top wicket-taker with 9 wickets and will be joined by Sineth Jayawardena and Malsha Tharupathi.
The pace attack consists of Ruvishan Perera and Kalupahana.

The pitch at the Senwes Park is generally good to bat on. While the new ball does nip around a bit, the batsmen can play their shots once they get their eye in. Things get considerably better for the batsmen in the second half, and anything under 300 is chasable on this surface.

Stolk is the leading run-scorer for South Africa in this tournament. He has scored 192 runs at an average of 42.00 and has scored at least 28 runs in each of his last 3 innings. We are therefore backing him to play well here.
Jayawardena is in the midst of a poor run. He has scored an aggregate of 44 runs with his highest score being 18. We, therefore, think that he will find it difficult to bounce back.
