🏏ICC U19 Men's ODI WC 2024: Group C: Sri Lanka vs Zimbabwe at Diamond Oval, Kimberley on 21/01/2024 at 1:30 PM IST  Page 1🏏

Sri Lanka U-19 will aim for a strong start to their ICC Under-19 World Cup 2024 campaign when they take on Zimbabwe U-19 at Kimberley in South Africa on Sunday, January 21. Despite facing a setback in their last warm-up match, where they were beaten by India U-19, Sri Lanka will now be keen to showcase a strong performance and turn the tide in their favour. In contrast, Zimbabwe U-19 will come into this match after a win over Ireland U-19 via the DLS method in a warm-up fixture. Notable contributions from players like Ryan Kamwembe, Campbell MacMillan and skipper Matthew Schonken will certainly give them a lot of confidence.

Zimbabwe U-19 side will aim to build on this momentum and continue delivering commendable performances in their upcoming clash against Sri Lanka.

Teams which are part of Group C:

Australia, Namibia, Sri Lanka and Zimababwe

All matches of the ICC Under-19 World Cup 2024 will be televised on the Star Sports Network in India and also on Prime.
