After a one-day break in Super Six action, the ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup resumed with a triple-header on Friday, with teams vying for coveted semi-final spots.

South Africa became the first team to secure qualification into the final four with a commanding 119-run victory over Sri Lanka in Potchefstroom. Once again, Kwena Maphaka was the chief destroyer, dismantling the Islanders’ batting line-up with support from Riley Norton.

The match between West Indies and Australia was affected by rain, leading to both teams sharing one point each. Ultimately, it was Australia who secured the final qualifying spot from Group 2, while West Indies’ brilliant tournament ended in a heartbreak.
