Jan. 29 (Mirror Sports) – Sri Lanka’s Under-19 team face South Africa today in a crucial Super Six clash as they fight to keep their semi-final hopes alive at the ICC Under-19 Men’s Cricket World Cup 2026.
With Australia already confirmed in the semi-finals, the battle for the remaining spots in Super Six Group 1 remains wide open. Afghanistan and Sri Lanka are tied on four points, but Sri Lanka currently sit third in the standings and will need a strong victory to improve their position. With qualification likely to be decided on net run rate, every over could prove decisive.

South Africa, meanwhile, are playing to avoid elimination after losing both of their Super Six matches. With zero points and a poor net run rate, they need a big win to stay in contention.
The Super Six stage is nearing its conclusion, with Sri Lanka’s match against South Africa on January 29 followed by Afghanistan vs Ireland on January 30.
With qualification on the line, the race to the semi-finals is set for a tense finish.
