SL-U19 vs WI-U19 Team Previews
Sri Lanka U19
Sri Lanka beat Zimbabwe and Namibia before losing to Australia - and ended group C in second position. With a superior net run-rate to West Indies, South Africa, England and others, Sri Lanka will start group two of the Super Sixes in second position.
Dinura Kalupahana has been Sri Lanka Under-19's top performer with the bat so far this tournament. He has gathered 124 runs in three innings - and has one of the highest strike-rates amid the team's top- through middle-order. He could be key in this fixture as well.
With seven wickets in three matches, Vishwa Lahiru is Sri Lanka's top wicket-taker at the Under-19 World Cup in South Africa. He is enjoying the conditions and could prove instrumental for his side again. Lahiru is a star for the future in ODI and T20I cricket.
Sri Lanka U19 Playing 11
Pulindu Perera, Vishen Halambage, Sineth Jayawardene, Supun Waduge, Ravishan De Silva, Dinura Kalupahana, Sharujan Shanmuganathan , Malsha Tharupathi, Vishva Lahiru, Vihas Thevmika, Ruvishan Perera.
West Indies U19
West Indies Under-19 will start their Super Sixes campaign in third position in group two after losing to South Africa and beating England in their final fixtures of the group stage. They did well to emerge from a difficult pool, but will be hard pressed to get beyond the Super Sixes.
Jewel Andrew has been outstanding with the bat for his country this tournament. He struck a big century against South Africa and followed that up with an unbeaten 64 against Scotland. Attempting to get him out early should be high on Sri Lanka's agenda.
Nathan Sealy, Nathan Edward and Isai Thomas have each taken six wickets in South Africa this month. That's a fine collective effort, which has shown West Indies' bowling attack to be a composed bunch. We are in for an intriguing tussle between West Indies' bowlers and Sri Lanka's batters.
