The South African U19 team move onto the Super Six phase of the U19 Cricket World Cup in Namibia and Zimbabwe, despite a disappointing 55-run loss against the West Indies U19s in their final pool match at the High Performance Oval in Windhoek on Thursday.
The SA U19s can count themselves lucky that three out of the four teams in their pool progress to the Super Six stage, as it allowed them to sneak through despite suffering two losses, after their opening match of the tournament saw them go down to Afghanistan U19s by 28 runs.
Their sole win was a crushing 329-run win over pool D whipping boys Tanzania U19s, who were unfortunately completely outclassed in the tournament as they suffered heavy defeats against table topping Afghanistan and second placed Windies as well, to drop out winless.
