Unbeaten, so far, in the competition, the India Under-19 national cricket team is just two games short of retaining their crown. The reigning champions of the ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup, India are also vying for a record-extending sixth victory in the competition, which will send them three clear of second-placed Australia.

India have won all five games they have played in the ICC U-19 Cricket World Cup at the time of writing. They collected three wins in the group stage against Bangladesh, Ireland, and the United States of America, respectively, before adding to their haul with Super Six triumphs over New Zealand and Nepal. They, along with Pakistan, are the only to win all of their matches, thus far.
South Africa, then, will start as the second favourites on their own grounds, a prospect that, however, does not take away from the threat that they carry. Their only loss in the tournament came in the group stage against England, who had benefitted greatly from the DLS method being called into action.
South Africa have won the tournament once and will be aiming to add to their sole triumph a decade later.
