The final Plate league quarterfinal match of the U-19 World Cup 2020 will feature a battle between two up-and-coming cricket nations, U.A.E U-19s and Scotland U-19s. Both teams failed to fare well in the first round but they have a chance of ending their campaign on a high with a solid performance in the Plate league.
The match between U.A.E. U-19s and Scotland U-19s will start at 1:30 PM IST with the venue being Potchefstroom's Witrand Cricket Field.
Speaking about their performances in the U-19 World Cup so far, U.A.E U-19s had opened their campaign on a winning note against Canada U-19s. But, they could not continue their momentum in the next two games against Afghanistan U-19s and South Africa U-19s.
On the other hand, Scotland U-19s suffered crushing defeats in all of their group stage matches. First, they lost to Bangladesh U-19s and Pakistan U-19s by 7 wickets each and then Zimbabwe U-19s handed them an eight-wicket loss.
The players who will be the center of attention in Potchefstroom are Sanchit Sharma and Aryan Lakra from U.A.E. Both the players had taken three wickets each against the hosts, South Africa U-19s in the last match. Also, they leaked runs at an economy rate of less than 6. In the batting departments, U.A.E. U-19s will rest their hopes on wicket-keeper batsman Vrijitya Aravind.
