Welcome to our coverage of match number 1 of the Super Six stage between India U19 and New Zealand U19 in Bloemfontein. The recently concluded group stage made for exciting viewing as we saw a number of youngsters across nations rising to the occasion. India topped Group A by winning three out of three matches. The defending champions are in red-form at present. They are firing in unison and will be a tough nut to crack. New Zealand, on the other hand, finished on second position in Group D, courtesy two wins out of three matches. Their batting has looked shaky in their last two encounters. The Kiwis were thrashed by Pakistan in their previous encounter and they will need a turnaround of sorts against a strong Indian team. Just a reminder for all you folks that all 12 teams that made it to the Super Six will carry forward the points and NRR earned in the group stage against their Super Six qualifying teams. The last five encounters between these two teams in the U19 World Cups has seen India emerge victorious on every occasion. Will India continue their dominance? Or will New Zealand stand tall and put up a solid display? Stick around as toss and team line ups will be announced shortly...
