The West Indies U-19 team will take on England U-19 team in the fifth game of a six-match ODI series on Tuesday, September 14, in Canterbury.

England, led by Tom Prest, have already taken an unassailable 3-1 lead in the six-match series. After losing the third game by two wickets, England made a stupendous comeback in the fourth game. On Friday, they beat the West Indies by nine wickets with as many as 193 balls to spare.

Sonny Baker and Thomas Aspinwall were the pick of the England bowlers as they picked up three wickets each. The run-chase was one-sided in favor of England. Openers George Thomas and Jacob Bethell stitched together a partnership of 117 runs to put the hosts in command.

Weather Report

There is a chance of rain around 9 AM to 10 AM and from 1 PM to 4 PM. Hence, there could be interruptions and the DLS Method might just come into play. Batting second should be the way forward in that case.


Pitch Report

The pitch wasn’t overly great for batting last time, especially in the first half. But the track seemed to have eased out as the game progressed. Chasing should be the preferred option.
