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 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 read - 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.

Vitel Lawes To Olly Riley OUT!
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.
