Semi-Final Line-Up of the U19 World Cup 2024 Confirmed
On Saturday, Feb. 3, after Pakistan defeated Bangladesh by 5 runs in a nail-biting finish in the last match of the Super Six stage, the semi-final lineup for the U19 Cricket World Cup was confirmed. After bundling out Pakistan for a meager score of 155 runs, Bangladesh struggled in their chase and were eventually bowled out for 150 runs. The match went down to the wire, but a 23-run stand for the last wicket wasn't enough to take Bangladesh over the line.
The U19 teams of India, Australia, and South Africa had already qualified for the semi-finals, with only one place left to be confirmed. India had qualified as the top side from Group 1 of the Super Six stage with 8 points, whereas Australia and South Africa had qualified as the top two sides from Group 2 of the Super Six stage with 7 and 6 points, respectively.
With all four teams now confirmed for the all-important business end of the tournament, here’s all you need to know about the semi-finals and finals of the ICC U19 Men’s World Cup 2024.
