The South African U19 cricket team closed out a dismal ICC U19 World Cup campaign with a final Super Six loss against Sri Lanka U19s, by five wickets, at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo on Thursday afternoon.
It was a poor tournament for the SA U19s as they won just one game, a massive thrashing of lowly Tanzania U19s, while they lost four, including against Afghanistan U19s, West Indies U19s and Australia U19s.
They had snuck into the Super Six stage of the tournament with that win over Tanzania , despite going down to Afghanistan and West Indies in the pool phase, but any hopes of an improvement in the Super Six were dashed by the Aussies and Sri Lanka.
