Day 3 at the Under 19 World Cup saw Australia ease to a comfortable victory over Nepal. Nepal have qualified from this event as an associate and in the past they have reached the semi-finals and won the 3rd place play off as recent as 2006. Opener Bancroft who was the player of the series against Pakistan in the 3 youth one day internationals earlier in the month scored a century as he received a well-deserved MOM and his 4th youth ODI century at the international level. The Australia opening bowler, Conway who did not play in the tournament opener against England produced a hat-trick with all 3 successive deliveries hitting the stumps to give the batsmen the dreaded death rattle. Australia was happy to implement squad rotation and have plenty of competition amongst the seamers.
Sri Lanka returned to winning form after the slip up against Bangladesh in Group D with a win over Namibia. West Indies eased to a 9 wicket win and their 2nd out of 2 in the tournament against PNG.
Pakistan Qualify For Quarter Finals
An unbeaten 100 by Pakistan captain, Babar Azam, helped secure a comfortable 9 wicket win over their Scotland counterparts. Babar, who also played a match winning innings of 75 in the opening game, carried on his good form and sealed his team's passage in to the Quarter-finals.
Chasing 201 for victory, Babar Azam and his opening partner, Sami Aslam looked very comfortable. Batting with composure, the pair never looked like they will give Scotland a chance. Sami did lose his wicket for 78 but the 163 run stand had done the damage. There was still enough runs to play for as Babar finished on 106 not out.
Earlier in the day, Scotland won the toss and batted first. Their score off 200 was helped by a hard fought 59 by opener McLean. Though once Mohammad Nawaz finished with 4-20 in his 10 overs, the damage had been done. Though 200 was a score the Scotland team could be happy with, it never was going to beat the formidable Pakistani team.
