The ICC U-19 Cricket World Cup 2024 is heating up. On Friday, defending champions India face Nepal in their final Super Six match at Bloemfontein in South Africa. Having defeated New Zealand by 214 runs on January 30, the five-time champions are unbeaten, while Nepal had a tough evening, suffering a disappointing loss to Bangladesh in their Super Six opener.

A victory on February 2, 2024, would secure India a spot in the semi-finals without losing a single match in the tournament. The Uday Saharan-led side, who had defeated Bangladesh, Ireland and the USA in Group A, will start as obvious favourites against Nepal.

Nepal, on the other hand, progressed as the third-placed team from Group D. The team's only victory came against Afghanistan by one wicket, giving them an outside chance of reaching a maiden U-19 ICC World Cup semi-final. But as it turns out, all hopes have been dashed following their defeat to Bangladesh by five wickets.
