The India Under-19 national cricket team took a step toward retaining their global crown by finishing top of their group at the ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup in South Africa. Uday Saharan and Co played Bangladesh, Ireland, and the United States of America and won all three games with relative ease to strut gleefully into the next round. (More Cricket News)
For the Super Six stage of the tournament, India have been paired up with Pakistan, New Zealand, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Ireland. However, competition rules dictated that the Boys in Blue will only play two of those teams in this round - New Zealand and Nepal - while avoiding the rest due to predetermined stipulations. Should India beat both, they will likely finish in one of the top two spots in the group and book a place in the semi-finals.
New Zealand, meanwhile, enter the Super Six stage on the back of a second-place finish in their group. The young Blackcaps lost to Pakistan but beat Nepal and Afghanistan to confirm their place among the elite 12. With Bangladesh taking the corresponding spot in Group A, New Zealand will avoid playing them in the Super Six round - along with Pakistan and Nepal by virtue of being in the same group.
