Right then. 2 matches in Group 1 of the Super Six have been completed. Australia roasted South Africa while West Indies managed to enjoy their toast against Ireland. Australia sit on top, with 6 points, while West Indies are on 3rd, in Group 1. Monday, 26th January, 2026 sees three matches played in the Under-19 World Cup - Scotland take on USA in a 16th place playoff, followed by the 2 Super Sixes matches - Bangladesh vs England from Group 2 and Afghanistan vs Sri Lanka from Group 1. All 3 matches are scheduled to start at 7.30 am GMT, but our buildup will begin well in advance. So do tune in early and have triple the fun! ADIOS! TAKE CARE!
The victorious skipper of West Indies Under-19, JOSHUA DORNE, is up next for the post-match chat. The winning feeling - Dorne says that the team's feeling really good, but there are still some areas to improve on. Calls the batting as an okayish effort, but praises the excellence by his bowlers. Message to the batters? Bowled out thrice - Joshua says that the side needs a bit more application from the batters, especially from the middle order. Honestly says that the batters are just throwing their wickets away. Micah McKenzie - On the leggie, JD says that he saw this coming for McKenzie. Explains that he was bowling very well at the start of the tournament but without any reward. Stresses that in this game, he was on point from ball one and reaped the rewards of his hard work. Selection plans - Joshua Dorne wants the selectors to be patient with the young group. Admits that a bit more concentration and focus are needed from the guys and they also need to stay switched on the field. But he shows his trust on the batting unit and backs his team to go all the way. Aussie challenge and a different venue - On facing group-toppers Australia next, Dorne says that the plans will pretty much be the same, irrespective of who they are playing against. Details by saying that they need to look at their opposition and gather some information. Informs that the Windies will be leaving for Harare on Monday and will try to gather some information about the surface.
The captain of Ireland Under-19, OLLY RILEY, is up for a chat now. Riley's assessment - Riley feels that overall, his side did pretty well. Explains that it was a decent wicket and the bowlers held their lines and lengths nicely. However, he adds that he is quite disappointed with the result. Explains that given the way his side bowled and started with the bat, they let this one slip away. Batting assessment - Olly puts it down to inexperience. Admits that his batters could not play the spinners. Adds that the batters need to know that they have got a bit more time than they actually feel they do and need to try to take it deeper. Rues the fact that they could not get enough partnerships after the first 10 overs to put pressure on West Indies. Pitch comparison - Riley does feel that there was too much difference between the pitch Ireland played previously on and this one. Explains that overall, the ball does a bit early on and then the pitches get better as the game goes deep. The Afghan challenge - Riley wants his batters to take a little bit more responsibility in their next match against Afghanistan. Adds that the bowling needs to be consistent for as long as possible. Ends by saying that the batters need to try and string partnerships for a bit longer.
West Indies Under-19's MICAH MCKENZIE Micah McKenzie has been adjudged the PLAYER OF THE MATCH, for his wonderful bowling display of 10-0-36-4. How is he feeling? Mckenzie says that he is feeling pretty excited as it is not everyday that you get figures like these. Explains that sometimes you bowl better but do not get results, while it might not be your day and you might get wickets. How did he plan for this match? Micah says that he messaged who he regards as one of the best spinners in the world - TABRAIZ SHAMSI - and says that Shamsi gave him vital advice before the start of the tournament which he cheekily adds that he forgot, but is happy that he managed to implement one of them in this match. Explains that this is what cricket is all about. Details that everyday won't be a day where you will take wickets but there will be days where you will not take wickets at all. Ends by saying that he just took advice from the coach and executed his skills.
... THE PRESENTATION ...
Spin to win - West Indies are usually known for their pace attack but in this game, it was their spinners which got them back in the game and eventually, helped them win it. Jakeem Pollard and Shaquan Belle did not bowl badly with the new balls but were just not able to break through with consistent wickets. It was the introduction of spin which changed things. Vitel Lawes and Micah McKenzie literally choked the Irish batters with combined figures of 20-0-77-6 and even though McKenzie got the bulk of the wickets, finishing with 4/36, the contribution of Vitel was vital too. The fielding did let the Windies down a bit and that's something they will look to improve in the next game.
Did rain have a say? Now that Ireland have lost, one might say that the rain did spoil their momentum. It came twice, once in the 29th over, with the Irish at 118/4 and then again the second time, in the 40th over. In that span of roughly 12 overs, Ireland scored 46/3. But the procession had already begun before that. It was the poor technique against spin which cost the Irish batters and not the rain, in our opinion.
Confident start - In reply, Ireland started pretty well. The openers passed the Powerplay 1 phase without being separated, and added 47 for the opening wicket. That was followed by another 35 for the second wicket with James West taking control of the proceedings. However, once he fell, a collapse ensued that saw Ireland slip from 82/1 to 98/4.
Decent bowling performance - Credit has to be given to the Irish bowlers. They stuck at it right from the start, not letting West Indies get away at all. Reuben Wilson set the tone with the new ball but everyone bowled well barring Adam Leckey. They kept picking up wickets and bowled out the Windies with 19 balls unused. Wilson was the highest wicket taker, with 3 scalps.
Look down, not up - There was rain forecast for this clash but West Indies' skipper Joshua Dorne, was not too keen on looking at the heavens. He looked at the surface, got the knowledge that it was a used one and decided to bat. His batters struggled throughout, except for Jewel Andrew, who used his international experience to hold one end. His gritty 66 ensured that the Windies did not collapse, although they did, after he got dismissed. They somehow managed to scrape through to 226, getting bowled out for the third successive time in this tournament.
The inevitable has been confirmed. The rain did relent but with time running out, the umpires have decided to call the game off. WEST INDIES UNDER-19 WIN BY 25 RUNS (DLS METHOD) but looking at the game situation when rain had forced play to stop for the second time, the Windies were always in front. Ireland will believe that this was a game which slipped out of their hand.
Oh dear. The live visuals seem very bad. It is literally pelting down in Windhoek and Ireland will need a miracle to get back on the field. That's the only way Ireland can harbour hopes of a win. They cannot win sitting in the dressing room. Building on the previous paragraph, it is not like West Indies did not bowl well. The spin duo - Vitel Lawes and Micah McKenzie - started the building of pressure. They bowled a series of dots, which put Ireland under self-sustained pressure and as a result, wickets were thrown away. The combined figures of the two spinners reads - 20-0-77-6! The captaincy was also excellent from Joshua Dorne, as the moment he realized that the batters were getting used to one kind of pace, he got serious pace back on. They did not take a wicket but clearly instilled fear and hostility in the minds of the batters which resulted in more wickets for the spinners at the other end.
3.02 pm GMT - It has started to drizzle again. And in fact, the umpires have called for the covers. Off go the players again. Isobel Joyce on air informs us that the current DLS par score for Ireland is 192. They are a long way back, not only on the DLS but in the chase as well. Out of nowhere, the Irish panicked and got West Indies back into the game and could never dictate terms again.

OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Lawes strikes in his final over. Classic wrist spinner's dismissal. Tossed up, around off, Olly Riley plays for the ball spinning in. But the ball is a googly, hence, it spins away. Takes the outside edge and goes to first slip, where Joshua Dorne takes it cleanly to his right. Riley departs for 7 (17) and from 136/4, Ireland Under-19 are now 161/7! Equation - 66 runs, 65 balls.

Micah McKenzie To Robert O’Brien OUT!
’Brien, OUT! CAUGHT! Second wicket in as many overs for McKenzie as he gets his fourth! Harakiri from Ireland now. Both set batters have been dismissed. Tossed up, a bit wider outside off, sensing O'Brin's charge, the batter reaches out to go over the top but miscues this high in the air. It goes only as far as mid off where Jonathan Van Lange takes yet another catch. The batter is made to wait as the umpires want to check for the overstepping. The replay shows that McKenzie is close to the line but has something behind it. The ball is legal and O'Brien has continue his march back. He departs for 26 (50) and from 136/4, Ireland Under-19 are now 143/6! Equation - 84 runs, 93 balls.
Gone? Robert O’Brien has been caught, but has McKenzie overstepped? Just behind the line!

Tossed up, outside off, Marko Bates goes for the big hit down the ground. But he is not to the pitch of the ball. Miscues it and gets a massive top edge. Jonathan Van Lange gets across to his left from mid on and takes it calmly. Bates departs for 22 (28) and the 38-run stand has been broken. Ireland are 136/5 and need another 91 runs from 104 balls!

He gets it to the left of deep third and takes the single. The fielder gets to the ball and Bates wants the second but O'Brien is blinded a touch, as the bowler comes in his way for a while. He takes a start though, but then pauses. Seeing that, Bates also pauses midway. Both batters are staring at each other, gone for all money. But the keeper, Jewel Andrew, in his excitement to cause the run out, collects the ball and throws it almost instantaneously at the striker's end. Misses. Had he taken a couple of seconds, might have found his target. Chaos everywhere. Eventually, the second is taken.

Just like that, we are back! We have lost 25 minutes of play and hence, no overs have been lost. So the match resumes at exactly the same place where it was paused. The bigger question now is - who would have benefitted from this break?
Match recap - Let's recap the match a little bit. West Indies elected to bat first, as this is a used deck, but strangely, totally contrary to their normal batting approach, they were very defensive. They were focussing on keeping wickets in hand, with the score literally going nowhere before Jewel Andrew turned things on. He focussed on batting deep, but got out in the 33rd over, while the others around him huffed and puffed to take the score to 226. As many as 6 players apart from Andrew made scores between 11 to 28 in the top 8, but none could carry on. Crucially, the last-wicket pair added 20 runs which might prove to be decisive in the outcome. Ireland bowled with discipline, not giving anything away and apart from Adam Leckey, everyone who bowled got a wicket at least. Reuben Wilson was the pick of the bowlers, with 3/50. For the third straight game, the Windies got bowled out in their innings. In reply, the Irish started pretty positively, not playing too many flashy strokes, but not going into a shell either. They focussed on getting partnerships, and were 82/1 at one stage. However, the two spinners - Vitel Lawes and Micah McKenzie - just turned the tables around, picking up 3/16 in the span of 31 balls. Ireland were in big trouble at 98/4 but this 19-run stand has steadied things a little bit. Going by the actual match equation - 110 runs, 128 balls - it should not be too difficult for the Irish, if they play normal cricket. But they need the game to resume. Because if the game stops here, they will end up losing the match, owing to being behind on the DLS par score. Also, there are no floodlights at this venue, so there are high chances of overs being reduced, in case of a long delay. If this game is shortened, then Ireland would believe that their chances go higher.
Oh dear. We now see flashes of lightning across the ground. The good thing is that the rain has reduced to a drizzle and one side behind the ground is bathed in sunshine. But because of this latest development, we will have to wait for a while. Fingers crossed though, that we get a resumption soon.
Game stopped due to : Rain Stoppage
1.47 PM GMT - The rain has gotten heavier and the players go off the field. It was drizzling for quite a while but the umpires were happy for the game to carry on. However, in the last couple of minutes or so, the intensity picked up, so the umpires thought it better to call for the covers. Ian Bishop on air informs that the DLS target for Ireland is 124 for the loss of 4 wickets, so if play does not resume, West Indies will win by 5 runs. However, Bishop quickly adds, in his own immicable style, 'I believe in the higher powers that the rain will stop and the game will resume.' Amen.

The Aussies have earned their first win of the Super Six stage, thumping the Proteas by 6 wickets. After a disciplined bowling performance restricted SA to 118, a slightly nervy batting display saw the Kangaroos home.

OUT! BOWLED! The spinners are running riot here. Another lovely ball. Tossed up, outside off, a conventional leg spinner, Sebastian Dijkstra stays back to play it, instead of coming forward.

The keeper collects the ball and whips off the bails, appealing for a stumping and looking extremely confident. It is referred to the third umpire but the replay shows that the foot never went up.
Now, is that a stumping? The keeper is confident but Niall O'Brien on air says - 'NOT OUT'. This has been referred upstairs. Yes. the replay confirms that Niall O'Brien is correct.

Micah McKenzie To Adam Leckey OUT!
OUT! BOWLED! Did we say no turn? Well, scratch that! What a lovely delivery. Tossed up, around off, Leckey is expecting leg spin but instead, it turns out to be a googly. He looks to drive, then defend but cannot decide on doing what. Is pretty late in deciding and by then, the ball comes right at his feet. He ends up yorking himself as he looks to dab at the ball and it goes through to hit the stumps! Leckey is bamboozled while McKenzie gives him a piece of his mind. 18 (18) for Leckey and from 82/1, Ireland Under-19 are now 84/3! Equation - 143 runs, 191 balls.
Interesting point made by Ian Bishop on air. He notes that during the 18th over, just after 17.3, there were 5 fielders outside the 30-yard circle. It would have been a no ball but someone realized it in time and stopped the bowler, making the fielding change.

Vitel Lawes To James West OUT!
OUT! BOWLED! Well, not sure whether the fielding change helped, but Lawes has struck. What a delivery though. Flighted, in line of the stumps, a conventional leg spinner, this time West gets down and looks to play the sweep. But he is beaten in the flight and plays early. The ball lands after his bat comes down, behind his legs and hits the stumps! The bowler is pumped up and why not? West departs for 45 (55) and the 35-run stand has been broken. Ireland Under-19 are 82/2 and need another 145 runs from 196 balls!
Fielding change. The sweeper on the off side comes a lot finer to cover the reverse sweep.

On middle and leg, James eases this towards cover. The batters take a quick single. But there is more. The fielder from cover comes across and has a needless shy at the bowler's end. The fielder from mid on who was backing up, is caught unawares by the speed and fumbles. Concedes the overthrow.

Yes yes, no no and they run. On a good length, outside off, West steers this behind point. The fielder fields but then fumbles. Seeing that, Ogilby starts to run and is halfway down the track.
