THE PREDICTION

Australia got their Men’s Under-19 World Cup campaign off to the ideal start, comfortably beating West Indies by six-wickets and will hope to replicate their high level of performance here against Sri Lanka, who overcame Scotland by 40 runs following some excellent bowling which restricted their opponents to just 178 all out chasing 210 for victory. However, Australia’s batters represent a far stronger challenge for Sri Lanka, whilst bowling out West Indies for 169 in 40.1 overs was also an impressive feat by the Aussies. Key for Australia was their discipline, particularly during their run chase, their batters showing a calm, calculated mentality despite the pressure of chasing down a target. This temperament, combined with another potent showing with the ball should see Australia through to a second win of the tournament in this one.
