Sri Lanka have qualified to play in the quarterfinals of the ICC Men’s U19 Cricket World Cup
ICC: The group stages of the ICC Under19 Men’s Cricket World Cup 2022 came to an end with qualification shootouts, superb centuries and a five-wicket haul.
India go through as group winners to the Super League with a mammoth 326–run victory over Uganda thanks in part to the highest score of the tournament by Raj Bawa. Pakistan eased to a nine-wicket win over Papua New Guinea to set up a Super League clash with Australia.
Afghanistan came out on top in a straight shootout for the Super League in Group C, securing a 109–run win over Zimbabwe to progress. They will play Group D winners Sri Lanka in one quarter-final on 27 January.
Bangladesh triumphed in another winner-takes-all game, beating the UAE by nine wickets (D/L method) in a rain-interrupted Group A match.
The 326-run victory is India’s largest at an ICC Under 19 Men’s Cricket World Cup, and the second highest ever, and sets them up for a replay of the 2020 final against Bangladesh, while Uganda will face the UAE in the plate quarter finals.
Pakistan top Group C having won all three of their matches to set up a repeat of the 1988 and 2010 finals with Australia, while Papua New Guinea will meet the hosts the West Indies in the Plate League.
Bangladesh will be hoping for a repeat of the final last time out when they face India while the UAE will face Uganda in the opening Plate quarterfinal.
Meanwhile, three Australia players have received positive PCR test results for COVID-19 through the official event testing program. The players are currently self-isolating and are being monitored and cared for by the medical team.
