Australia Under-19s v New Zealand Under-19s - Quadrangular Under-19 Series - 1st Semi-Final - Toss Report
In the first semi-final of the ongoing Quadrangular Under-19 Series in Australia, New Zealand have won the toss and elected to field against the hosts at Endeavour Park, Townsville.
The contest is expected to be tough among the two rivals but with two wins from three matches, Australia have an upper hand against New Zealand, who only won one game out of the three matches they played in the tournament.
The outcome of the match will decide which team goes on to meet either http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 in the final, scheduled to be played on April 15, at Townsville.
Meanwhile, the focus of both teams right now would not be who they meet in the tournament finale, but to secure their place after beating the team at hand today.
And after beating New Zealand in their last encounter by six wickets, Australia are coming in the tournament with their spirits high and raring to repeat their previous performance in order to subdue New Zealand.
The pitch at Endeavour Park is expected to carry bounce which will benefit bowlers from both teams, but being http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746’s home ground, the Aussie batsmen are bound to bat a bit better on this wicket.
With the comeback of pacer http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Iftikhar-Ali-Khan-Pataudi-Nawab-of-c64075 Cummins, Australia's bowling attack is extremely destructive and will be giving New Zealand a tough time.
Cummins will definitely be provided a commendable support by Meyrick Buchanan who grabbed two wickets in his side’s last outing against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754.
New Zealand on the other hand, would need to improve their bowling if they want to cause some sort of problems for the Australians as bowling has been their weak department in the tournament and it will not matter much if the batsmen even post a huge total on the board because if their bowlers give a lacklustre performance, Australia will chase down any total that is given to them.
Australia’s squad for the match: 1. C Bancroft, 2. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-Charles-Lennox-James-c44309 Gregory.
New Zealand’s squad for the match: 1. WA Young*, 2. CD Fletcher&http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Walker-c95903, 10. MR Quinn, 11. JA Duffy, 12. EJ Nuttall
