SL-U19 vs SCO-U19 Team Previews

Sri Lanka U19

Sri Lanka played two warm-up matches and won both of them by a huge margin. We know it is not very wise to look too deeply into these results, however, two massive wins are surely going to add to the confidence of the Sri Lankans. It appears as if Shevon Daniel, Sadisha Rajapaksa, and Dunith Wellage are going to be the players that lead the batting lineup.

They displayed a good amount of power in the warm-up matches and also the ability to play long innings.

Two of the top-order batsmen, Chamindu Wickramasinghe and Dunith Wellage, are also among the frontline bowlers. This shows that the Sri Lankan team is pretty flexible and has all-round depth. A lot of the focus is going to be on the bowling of Matheesha Pathirana or the 'young Malinga' as he is often referred to as.

We are going to get a lot more information about the Sri Lankan team once they play this match, however, we think it is safe to say that they have the resources to start with a commanding win.

Sri Lanka U19 Playing 11

Chamindu Wickramasinghe, Shevon Daniel, Sadisha Rajapaksa, Raveen De Silva, Pawan Pathiraja, Ranuda Somarathne, Dunith Wellalage, Wanuja Sahan, Yasiru Rodrigo, Sakuna Liyanage, Matheesha Pathirana.


Scotland U19

Scotland was unable to qualify from the European division for this World Cup and was not really supposed to be here. That does not mean that you should count out the team completely, however, it does show that the team is probably a bit out of its depth.

Scotland played two warm-up matches, one against Uganda and the other against Ireland. It won the match against Uganda but suffered a heavy defeat to Ireland in the next one. Not a very good build-up for the Scots.

It looks like the batting is going to be an issue for Scotland. There is just no depth and most of the runs will have to be scored by the top-3. One or two early wickets could derail the team completely. We also question their ability to play quality spin like they are going to encounter in this tournament.

The bowling attack for Scotland is nothing special either. The fast-bowlers are disciplined but lack the pace to be able to trouble the batsmen and the spinners are going to struggle against most of the top teams to make any sort of impact.

Pitch and Conditions

There is some rain around in Georgetown, Guyana and that could cause multiple interruptions and even a reduction in the number of overs being played. The pitch should be a bit on the slow side but flat and generally good for batting. The outfield may be a bit slow and the players may have to run a number of threes.
