SL-U19 VS SCO-U19 TEAM PREVIEWS
The Under 19 World Cup 2022 kicks off in the Caribbean, with teams hoping to get off to a good start. The competition has a tough format that does not allow for many mistakes. In recent editions, Sri Lanka has been one of the underperforming Asian nations at this level, although it is still one of the tournament’s strongest teams.
Scotland did not initially qualify for the Under-19 World Cup in 2022, but was drafted in to replace New Zealand, which withdrew owing to COVID restrictions on their return to their home country.
Sri Lanka is the overwhelming favourite for this match on every trustworthy and credible cricket betting platform.
Sri Lanka U19 vs Scotland U19 Under-19 World Cup 2022 match prediction and cricket betting tips. On the 14th of January 2022, the match will be held at the Everest Cricket Club Ground in Georgetown.
SRI LANKA U19
Sri Lanka competed in two warm-up matches, winning both by a large margin. We realise it’s not a good idea to read too much into these outcomes, but two huge victories will undoubtedly boost Sri Lankan morale. Shevon Daniel, Sadisha Rajapaksa, and Dunith Wellage appear to be the batsmen who will top the batting order.
In the warm-up matches, they showed a lot of power and the potential to play extended innings.
Chamindu Wickramasinghe and Dunith Wellage, two of the top-order batters, are also frontline bowlers. This demonstrates that the Sri Lankan team is adaptable and has depth across the board. The bowling of Matheesha Pathirana, or the ‘young Malinga,’ as he is known, will receive a lot of attention.
We’ll learn a lot more about the Sri Lankan team once they play this match, but we believe it’s safe to say they have the resources to start with a resounding victory.
SCOTLAND U19
Scotland failed to qualify for the World Cup from the European division and was not scheduled to be here. That does not mean you should write the squad off altogether, but it does indicate that they are likely out of their depth.
Scotland played Uganda and Ireland in two warm-up matches. It beat Uganda in the first match, but lost badly to Ireland in the second. The Scots haven’t had a great start.
For Scotland, it appears that batting will be a problem. There is simply no depth, and the top three players will have to score the majority of the runs. One or two early wickets might potentially wreck the team. We also doubt their ability to play high-quality spin, which they will face in this competition.
Scotland’s bowling attack is also nothing spectacular. The fast bowlers are disciplined but lack the pace to worry the batters, while the spinners will struggle to make an impact against most of the elite sides.
PITCH AND CONDITIONS
Rain is falling in Georgetown, Guyana, which could result in repeated breaks and possibly a reduction in the amount of overs played. The pitch should be a little slow, but it should be flat and suitable for batting. The outfield may be a little sluggish, and the players may have to hit a few three-pointers.
SL-U19 VS SCO-U19 BETTING TIPS
We’re betting on Sri Lanka to win this match. To be honest, there isn’t a lot of benefit in betting on Sri Lanka right now, but there isn’t much else to do. We don’t think Scotland will be able to beat Sri Lanka in this match.
Sri Lanka U19 is the favourite to win.
