Post-match review: It was a must-win game for South Africa U-19 and look how they entered the pitch and dominated the Irish. South Africa U19 bundled Ireland U19 for 158/10 in just 33 overs. The Africans looked in trouble at 16/2 but boy, Brevis and captain Heerden played the best innings of their life. Brevis looked brilliant but missed out on his hundred, scoring 96. Heerden started slow but accelerated too good and was smashing sixes for fun in the end, scoring 111 off 93 balls with 8 sixes!! Copeland played a brilliant game, scoring 43 off 18 and guiding Africa to 315/7. The Irish side were given the target of 312 runs under the DLS method as the rain reduced the game to 47 overs on each side. It was a moral victory for the Africans even before the second innings began but it converted into a victory too! Ireland never looked in the run chase and there were just some beautiful cameos by their batsman which were worth appreciating. McGuire is looking solid, scoring 42 with 8 fours and 1 six, Roux played a crucial inning too but it went in vain. The African bowlers were too good for the Irishmen. The pick of the bowlers were Alder and Boast, taking 3 for 20 and 3 for 26, respectively. Tshaka and Simelane shared 2 wickets each and bowled some crucial partnerships. Wickets kept falling at regular intervals and the scoring RR never went beyond 5. South Africa U19 beat the Ireland U19 team by 153 runs!

Tim Tector (Ireland Captain): "Not ideal to finish our group stage like this. They didn't really give us many chances early on, but a few things that we can take. He (Wilson) is so young and this experience can hold well for him. Had a couple of those LBW decisions gone our way, things could have been different. Nathan started really well for us but none of us could give him a hand there. Pleased that the guys kept going for it with nothing to lose."
Van Heerden (South Africa Captain), Player of the match: "The feeling is absolutely insane, with time running out I didn't feel like I could get there. With the wind in favour, I just went for it and tried to hit it as long as possible. Batting was a lot easier the more you stayed in. I just tried to take it deep. It's awesome for us. We just tried to get a complete performance. We just stuck to our plans and do the basics right."
South Africa U19 have won the match by 153 runs.
