THE PREDICTION

There is plenty of cause for celebration when it comes to the status of cricket in Papua New Guinea right now. Just a few months after the senior men’s side competed at the T20 World Cup for the first time in their history, the Under-19s are set to embark on their ninth Under-19 World Cup. Zimbabwe however, have reason to be confident going into this match as they boast a decent pedigree at Under-19 World Cups despite the struggles of their senior side. Plenty rests on the shoulders of skipper Emmanuel Bawa, who played for Zimbabwe Under-19s back in 2020 and shone with the bat. Whilst Zimbabwe are to be narrowly favoured for victory, when taking into account the potential of rain disrupting play, it would be sensible not to back either side until the forecast becomes clearer closer to the start of play.
