Australia out of U-19 World Cup
February 20, 2004 18:47 IST
Australia and Bangladesh both failed to qualify for the Super League of the ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup 2004 on Friday while South Africa scraped through by the narrowest of margins.
A three run victory over Sri Lanka was not enough for Australia to make the Super League. Australia finished level on points with Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe but lost out by virtue of a poorer net run rate.
Sri Lanka finished top of Group A and will now face India, South Africa and West Indies in Group 1 of the Super League.
...................................
"South Africa earned their place in the Super League by beating England by one wicket at the Chittagong Divisional Stadium."
....................................
The other Super League group will be contested by England, New Zealand, Pakistan and Zimbabwe.
Australia will contest Group 1 of the Plate Championship with Nepal, Papua New Guinea and Scotland.
The other Plate Championship group contains Bangladesh, Canada, Ireland and Uganda
The Super League matches will be played in Dhaka, while the Plate Championship will be held in Chittagong. There is a rest-day on Saturday before the next round of matches on 22 February
