Defending champions India U19 will face South Africa U19 in the first semifinal of the ongoing ICC Under 19 World Cup 2024. The Indians have done well, coming here after an impressive victory over Nepal in their last Super Six match. The South Africans won by a large margin against Sri Lanka, and the team will be confident. The Indians have yet to lose a game in the tournament, and their players are in good form. They’ve made the finals in the last four tournaments, which will boost morale in the camp. The South African middle order has struggled, and it is unclear whether they will be able to stop the Indian juggernaut.

South Africa U19 has picked up form at the right time, but they face the tournament’s toughest team. Their middle-order batsmen have struggled, and the team will need a strong performance from both them and the new ball bowlers to win. The Indians have been on a roll, and their batting order has annihilated opponents. With the bowlers playing a complementary role, they will begin favorites here. Considering the team combination, India U19 is expected to win this match.
