Zimbabwe U19 will lock horns with Scotland U19 in the Plate Quarter-Final 3 of the ICC Under-19 World Cup at the Queen's Park Oval, Port of Spain, Trinidad, on January 26, 2022.

Zimbabwe U19, led by Emmanuel Bawa, started their campaign with a resounding 228-run win over Papua New Guinea (PNG) on January 15. But two back-to-back defeats meant they failed to qualify for the Super League quarterfinals of the multi-nation tournament.

Zimbabwe U19 will go into the game after a heavy 109-run loss at the hands of Afghanistan U19 on January 22. After electing to bat, the Afghans scored 261 on the back of Suliman Safi's 111. Matthew Welch scored 53 while opening the batting, but his effort went in vain.

Scotland U19, led by Charlie Peet, on the contrary, have lost all three of their games and finished Group D as the cellar dwellers. They lost to Australia by seven wickets in the previous match on January 19.

After being put in to bat first, Scotland scored 237 for eight. Charlie Tear and Tomas Mackintosh scored 54 runs apiece and guided their team to a respectable score. Thereafter, Australia tracked down the target in 39.5 overs. Oliver Davidson picked up two wickets, but Teague Wyllie's 101-run knock blew them away.
