And that brings us to the end of a one-sided affair, where Australia Under-19 brushed aside Sri Lanka Under-19 to carry all the points into the Super Six stage, while the Lankans now face a tougher road ahead. The action in the ICC Under-19 World Cup 2026 does not stop here, as we turn our attention to Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo for a heavyweight clash on 24th January, Saturday. Unbeaten India U-19 will take on New Zealand U-19, who have had two washouts so far, and that match could play a big role in shaping Group B. The game gets underway at 7.30 am GMT, and as always, you can join us early for all the build-up. Until then, cheers and goodbye.
Oliver Peake, the victorious skipper of Australia Under-19, expresses pride in his team for the clinical victory, describing it as a day when their plan fit perfectly into place, allowing them to achieve their goal without any issues. He emphasizes the importance of every player, including substitutes, highlighting that each one brings different skills to the team. Oliver then looks ahead to their next match against the Proteas, mentioning that they've already played them in the warm-up matches. He acknowledges that the Proteas have a strong bowling unit but is confident that his team will be ready to face them.
Vimath Dinsara, the captain of Sri Lanka Under-19, says that it was a disappointing performance. Adds that the Aussies bowled really well and it was not their day. Mentions that they are happy to go to the second round and will take it game by game. Ends by saying that they will give their best in the next game.
William Byrom is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his fantastic FIVE-FER. He starts by sharing the credit with his opening bowling partner, Charles Lachmund. Adds that before the game, they had a good chat with the team, and in the first hour, when they saw the wickets were coming, they just attacked more. He continues that they have worked really hard, and now it's just the results of the hard work. Ends up by saying it's a positive result for the team, and they will try to continue it further.
Presentation Time...
Earlier in the game, after being put in to bat, Sri Lanka Under-19 were bundled out for just 58, the lowest total of this World Cup. Only two batters, Kavija Gamage and Chamika Heentigala, reached double figures, with the latter top-scoring with 14, which sums up their struggles with the bat. Australia Under-19 were spot on from the very first ball and never eased off. William Byrom led the way with a magnificent five-for, while Charles Lachmund and Kasey Barton picked up two each, and Hayden Schiller chipped in with one to complete the demolition.
In the small chase, Sri Lanka briefly felt they had a chance when Rasith Nimsara knocked over Will Malajczuk in the first over, and the opening three overs were testing, with the ball moving both ways. However, a few too many extras released the pressure on the Aussies. From there, the calm heads of Nitesh Samuel and Steven Hogan ensured there were no further hiccups, stitching together a 58-run stand to get the job done.
Dominance might still not fully capture this performance from the Aussies! They finish top of the group, remain unbeaten, and send a strong message to the rest of the competition that the defending champions are well on track to defend their crown. Sri Lanka, meanwhile, will need to put this result behind them quickly before heading into the next round.

Viran Chamuditha To Steven Hogan
BYE! Short, on middle and leg. After the ball pitches on the deck it kicks off with a lot of bounce and beats flies over the helmet of the batter. The keeper does well to get some hands on it and the batter gets a bye.

Viran Chamuditha To Steven Hogan
Arm ball, angling down the leg side, Steven misses his flick on his back foot and thumps on his pad. The ball rolls toward fine leg and the batter gets a leg bye. Thar brings up the 50-run stand between these two batters.
Powerplay 2! Sri Lanka Under-19 can have four fielders outside the inner ring now, but with just 6 runs needed, we doubt they will keep them out.
