India U19 vs South Africa U19 2nd ODI

South Africa U19 and India U19 go at loggerheads today at the Kingsmead Stadium in Durban. With the ICC U19 ODI CWC almost upon us now with the tournament a mere two weeks away, all the teams partaking in the competition have got their preparations underway. And South Africa, India, Zimbabwe, and New Zealand will indulge in the Youth ODI Quadrangular Series beginning today, to tune out their squads and try out final combinations ahead of the upcoming world cup.

The South Africa U19 and India U19 teams had recently faced each other in a bilateral series where India had beaten the hosts 2-1 in a 3-match assignment. India would look to maintain their supremacy over South Africa. Talking about the pitch, the previous match played over here showed that this is a surface that plays out well in the favor of the batsmen.

"The team is in a good space," South Africa’s Sibiya said before the encounter. "We still understand the processes we need to follow and keep building from the last ODI. The belief factor is the main thing. The guys believe that we are not just here to compete with them, we can beat them."

The probable playing XI for both the teams is as follows:

South Africa U19

Bryce Parsons (C), Andrew Louw, Jonathan Bird, Manje Levert, Luke Beaufort (WK), Jack Lees, Tiaan van Vuuren, Pheko Moletsane, Achille Cloete, Mondli Khumalo, Odirile Modimokoane

India U19

Yashasvi Jaiswal, Divyansh Saxena, Tilak Varma, Priyam Garg (C), Dhruv Jurel, Shashwat Rawat, Kumar (WK), Akash Singh, Sushant Mishra, Vidyadhar, CTL Rakshan
