Australia's dominating win over South Africa Under-19 has put them in a strong position to secure a semi-final spot, while the Proteas face an uphill battle to qualify for the next round. The match saw Australia bowl out South Africa for 118, with Charles Lachmund taking 3 wickets, and then chase down the target with ease, winning by 6 wickets. Looking ahead, we have more games lined up on 26th January 2026, with all starting at 7.30 am GMT. Tune in an hour prior for pre-match analysis and updates. Until next time, cheers.
Australia Under-19 captain Oliver Peake expressed pride in his team's adaptability across their recent matches, acknowledging the different challenges presented in each game. He specifically commended the composure of Alex Lee Young and Draper for the way they finished the game. Peake highlights their amazing start that yielded crucial Powerplay wickets, a clear strategy that ensures the team begins on the front foot. He was also impressed by the subsequent performance of Aryan Sharma and the entire bowling unit, particularly given the tricky nature of the pitch. Peake is looking forward to the team's future challenges, expressing happiness about moving to a new venue and anticipation for what the next couple of weeks present
South Africa Under-19 captain Muhammad Bulbulia reflected on a match defined by a challenging start and spirited but ultimately insufficient fightback. He acknowledged the difficult morning session, which saw his side bowled out for a modest 118, but praised his players for their resilience, stating, the boys showed tough fight in the 2nd half during their defence. Bulbulia felt that a target of around 250-260 would have kept us in the game, clearly identifying the batting collapse as the turning point. He lamented the loss of wickets in clusters, which made recovery impossible. Looking ahead, the captain underlined the importance of their next fixture, stressing that it is extremely important to win against Sri Lanka and gain those two points to get their campaign back on track.
Charles Lachmund has been awarded the Player Of The Match. Lachmund attributed Australia's clinical victory to a patient bowling strategy, noting that the quality of the wicket allowed the fearsome and foursome pace attack to wear down the South African batters by consistently hitting good areas. He highlighted the effectiveness of his own big inswinger in providing breakthroughs and expressed his satisfaction with how the bowling unit has gelled to deliver complete performances that set the team up for significant wins.
Earlier, Australia Under-19 had dominantly completed the first inning, dismissing the young Proteas for a modest total of just 118 runs in 32.1 overs. After winning the toss and electing to bowl first, the Australian pace attack capitalized on a grassy pitch. Pacer Charles Lachmund struck immediately with the second ball of the match, setting the tone for a disciplined bowling performance. South Africa struggled to build momentum as wickets fell consistently. Only three batters managed to reach double figures, with top scorer Paul James contributing 34 runs and Jorich van Schalkwyk adding a resilient 26. Lachmund was the pick of the bowlers with 3 for 29, while William Byrom and Aryan Sharma both secured two wickets each, ensuring Australia needed only 119 runs to register another crucial victory.
Barring Will Malajczuk, who had an off day, every other Australian batter managed to get their eye in and contribute significantly to the team's victory. This collective effort underscored the team's batting depth and their ability to navigate tricky situations. While the top order provided stability, it was the middle order that ultimately steered the team home with a combination of grit and calculated aggression. The top-scorer for the innings was Steven Hogan, whose gritty and patient 43 anchored the chase, absorbing pressure and ensuring a steady flow of runs. Crucial, composed knocks from both Alex Lee Young and Jayden Draper also proved vital in the chase, as they carefully navigated the challenging spells from the South African bowlers and ultimately saw their side across the finish line.
Despite the modest target, the run chase was far from a comfortable stroll, a spirited and disciplined bowling effort from the South African Under-19s. The young Proteas bowlers fought valiantly, making the Australian batters work hard for every single run. They bowled with heart and accuracy, consistently hitting the right lengths and building pressure in the field. JJ Basson was once again superb with the ball, his excellent spell yielding three vital wickets, while Bayanda Majola also chipped in with a crucial dismissal, keeping their team's hopes alive deep into the innings.
Australia Under-19 have secured a hard-fought victory against a resilient South African side, in a match where the Australian bowlers set a dominant tone from the outset. Their disciplined and incisive attack dismantled the South African batting lineup, laying the perfect foundation for the win. The pace bowlers, in particular, were relentless, exploiting any early swing and seam movement to great effect, ensuring South Africa never built any substantial partnerships. The spinners maintained the pressure through the middle overs, expertly choking the flow of runs and picking up crucial wickets, which ultimately kept the target low and manageable.

Final drinks break of the contest. Despite not having much on the board, on the back of some sensational bowling from Bayanda Majola and JJ Basson, the South Africa Under-19 side has put a lot of pressure on the Aussies. With just 17 more needed this shouldn't trouble the Aussies much from here on.
