South Africa Qualify for Final Super Six

Fixtures in the Super Six stage of the ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup 2024 were confirmed on Sunday following the conclusion of the last round of group stage matches.

The top three teams in Groups A and D combine, as well as the top three sides in Groups B and C, creating two groups of six where the top two sides in each will progress to the semi-finals.

India and Pakistan topped Groups A and D respectively, and they will be joined by fellow qualifiers Bangladesh, Ireland, Nepal and New Zealand to form the first group.

The second group will feature the top teams in Groups B and C – South Africa and Australia – joined by England, Sri Lanka, West Indies and Zimbabwe.

Teams carry points, wins & net run rate earned against their fellow qualifying teams into their respective Super Six groups, and will each play two further matches before the semi-finalists are determined.

Super Six fixtures will take place from Tuesday 30 January to Saturday 3 February across four venues; Mangaung Oval in Bloemfontein, Kimberley Oval in Kimberley, JB Marks Oval in Potchefstroom and Willowmoore Park in Benoni – the venue which will host the semi-finals and final.

Among the standout fixtures in the Super Six stage are defending champions India v New Zealand in Bloemfontein on 30 January, Australia v England in Kimberley on 31 January and Pakistan v Bangladesh in Benoni on 3 February.

Match Official appointments for the Super Six stage have also been confirmed, and are available in the resources section of the ICC Online Media Zone.

Outside of the Super Six stage, teams that failed to qualify will also face-off at Willowmoore Park, with USA v Afghanistan held on 31 January, and Scotland v Namibia taking place on 1 February before their tournament ends.
