THE PREDICTION
Whilst West Indies boasts home advantage heading into the Men’s Under-19 World Cup, they enter the contest shaken following a crushing 108-run defeat to India in a warm-up match last Sunday. The batting of the Windies in particular is of a huge concern having been reduced to 139/9 chasing 279 before being bowled out for just 170. Young Australian bowlers such as Jack Nisbett and the highly-rated Nivethan Radhakrishnan will each be looking to capitalise on such fragility within the West Indian ranks and having a captain in Western Australia’s Cooper Connolly, who has already competed in one Under-19 World Cup will likely prove crucial for the Aussies, with his experience in the field bound to have a positive effect on his troops. With that in mind, back Australia to get off to a winning start here against a West Indies side low on confidence.
