The Indian Under-19 team, in its quest for a record sixth World Cup trophy, will meet hosts South Africa in the first semi-final of the 20024 Under-19 World Cup at Willowmoore Park, Benoni. The Indian team has not dropped even a single game in this World Cup and has won all its matches convincingly.
On the other hand, South Africa, who were chosen as hosts after original hosts Sri Lanka’s ICC membership was suspended in November 2023, managed to make it through to the semis even after losing to West Indies at the group stage. They won both their Super Six matches against Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe to make it to the last four on the verge of a better net run rate.
South Africa won their first and only title in 2014. Will the Juan James-led side be able to overcome Uday Sharan-led team to make it to their third final or will India reach their record ninth final?
