U19 CWC2020- Bangladesh to create history

The Super League Semi-final 2 of the 2020 ICC Under-19 World Cup will be played between New Zealand Under-19s and Bangladesh Under-19s at the Senwes Park in Potchefstroom.

India sealed the finals berth with a commanding ten-wicket win over Pakistan U19s in the first Super-League semi-final. They will now await to see who is their opponent on the night of the final. Will it be high-speed Bangladesh or will it be the ever-so tenacious Kiwis? We will find that out when both these sides lock horns in the second semi-final on Thursday.

Bangladesh sealed their semi-finals berth with a resounding win- by 104 run- over hosts South Africa. Batting first, the young Tigers racked up 5-261 thanks to half-centuries from Tanzid Hasan [80], Towhid Hridoy [51] and Shahadat Hossain [74*]. Spinner Rakibul Hasan then proceeded to run through the Proteas batting line-up with a five-wicket haul to steer his side to a commanding win.

New Zealand, on the other hand, has had a mixed campaign thus far. After having lost to defending champions India in the league stage, the BlackCaps pulled off a massive upset in the quarter-finals when they beat a strong West Indian unit by two wickets.
