Commentary

3:46 PM IST All Eyes on a Massive Semi-Final Decider Day - Right then, that is it from this entertaining contest, with Sri Lanka Under-19 climbing to the 2nd spot in Group 1 for now. We now have a double-header with plenty at stake as Afghanistan Under-19 take on Ireland Under-19 at Harare Sports Club, where an Afghan win will see them through, while in Group 2 here in Bulawayo, England Under-19 face New Zealand Under-19 with a victory enough to book England a place in the semis. Friday, 30 January, promises to be a huge day in this ICC Under-19 World Cup 2026, with both matches starting at 7.30 am GMT, and as always, you can join us early for all the build-up. Until then, cheers and goodbye.
3:42 PM IST The victorious skipper of Sri Lanka Under-19 - Vimath Dinsara says that the bowlers bowled really well, and Akash bowled really well, picking up 4 wickets. Also says that he is happy with the team. He is also impressed by the way Viran Chamuditha batted throughout the inning and got his hundred. Ended up saying that they just wanted to win and were not focused on NRR.
3:40 PM IST The captain of South Africa Under-19 - Muhammad Bulbulia says that they started well with the bat, but lost too many wickets towards the end and were 30-40 runs short. Adds that with the ball too, they had a great start but could not build enough pressure on the batters. Mentions that the tournament did not go their way, but there were a lot of individual performances and hopefully, many of them have a great career ahead. Says that he had an amazing time leading the side, and even though it was a disappointing campaign, they have a lot of positives to take from here.
3:54 PM IST PLAYER OF THE MATCH is Viran Chamuditha (110 off 94) - He notes that the conditions became favorable for batting after the initial few overs. He acknowledges that there was some movement with the new ball early on, but he focused on adapting his batting to the changing conditions.
3:35 PM IST Presentation Time...
3:35 PM IST A Fight That Came Too Late - South Africa Under-19 began brightly with Michael Kruiskamp striking early and JJ Basson repeatedly beating the bat without reward, but once the swing faded they struggled to make further inroads, perhaps missing a trick by not using Bason's remaining overs, even as Botha and Kruiskamp sparked a brief middle-overs fightback with three quick wickets that came far too late to change the outcome for the Proteas.
3:28 PM IST A Lone Hand from Van Schalwyk - Earlier in the game, after choosing to bat, South Africa Under-19 put up a competitive total thanks largely to a strong 96-run opening stand and a brilliant century from Jorich van Schalwyk, with Adnaan Lagadien adding a fluent 48 before the middle order lost momentum, only for Paul James and Krisukamp to revive the innings with a crucial 40-run eighth-wicket partnership that gave the bowlers something to work with. Sri Lanka hit back after an early wobble as leg-spinner Vigneshwaran Akash turned the tide with a superb four-wicket haul, while Kavija Gamage claimed two and Chamika Heentigala added one to round off a solid bowling effort.
4:05 PM IST Chamuditha Stars in the Run Chase - Despite losing an early wicket and surviving a probing new-ball spell, Sri Lanka Under-19 were rarely in trouble during the chase, thanks largely to the positive and technically sound batting of Viran Chamuditha, who found excellent support from Senuja Wekunagoda in a match-defining 143-run second-wicket stand that all but sealed the contest. Senuja fell just short of a fifty, but Viran went on to bring up his second hundred of the campaign, and although there was a brief wobble when both set batters departed, skipper Vimath Dinsara's calm 32 guided them close before the lower order wrapped things up without any drama.
3:21 PM IST Sri Lanka Keep the Dream Alive -  Sri Lanka Under-19 have done everything they could to keep their semi-final hopes alive and now must sit back and hope Ireland can produce something special against Afghanistan. The Lankans were the better side in all three departments and thoroughly deserved the win, while it marks a disappointing end to the Proteas' World Cup campaign.

Corne Botha to Viran Chamuditha, no run

OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Corne Botha has got his man and it's the big fish. This is a hard-length delivery, pitching it on leg and middle and shaping away off the seam. Viran Chamuditha prods halfway and looks to defend on his front, but it just kisses the outside edge of the willow. Lethabo Phahlamohlaka, the keeper, gets wrong-footed, but dives to his right to grab it. It pops up but he manages to pouch it safely into his gloves while falling down. Also, makes sure it does not hit the ground. The umpires want to check if it is a fair catch or not and the replay shows that it is clean as a whistle. An exceptional inning comes to an end as Viran Chamuditha has to walk back, scoring 110 off 94 balls.

Corne Botha to Viran Chamuditha, 4 runs

FOUR! Runs are flowing from Viran Chamuditha! This is fuller, just outside off, Chamuditha takes the aerial route and lofts it over the cover fielder for four runs.

2:02 PM IST Drinks Break! Sri Lanka are cruising as they only need 81 runs in 120 deliveries to win the contest. But we might encounter some urgency as they have to improve their net-run rate. If we look at the points table, West Indies, Sri Lanka and Afghanistan all of the teams have the same points, four, and the Lankans are currently sitting third. So, if they win the contest with a big margin, they will not only get the two crucial points but also they will improve the net run rate.

Corne Botha to Senuja Wekunagoda, no run

OUT! DRAGGED ON! Classic Commentator's Curse - Rohan Gavaskar on air, just before this delivery said, 'It does not look like these two batters are going to make a mistake,' and here we have a wicket against the run of play. Corne Botha lands this on a hard length and just outside off. Senuja Wekunagoda bends low and just tries to guide it away, but only with his hands, as his feet do not move much. He ends up getting an inside edge back onto the stumps. He is absolutely devastated and gets consoled by his partner on the way back. Senuja departs after scoring a fine 48 off 63, just missing out on his fifty and the massive 143-run stand has been broken.

The Proteas need something like that and only wickets can get them back in this game here. Viran Chamuditha holds the key here, and if they can manage to get rid of him quickly, we will have a game on our hands. Also, JJ Basson to bowl after the break.
