South Africa brush PNG aside

South Africa defeated Papua New Guinea by seven wickets in the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup Group B preliminary round match at the Kinrara Oval on Thursday, while Nepal, Bermuda and New Zealand also secured wins.he junior Proteas bowled PNG out for just 125 and then knocked off the runs in 14.2 overs to make sure they improved their net run-rate. But with India playing the West Indies tomorrow, South Africa must hope that the boys from the Caribbean slip up otherwise their destination will be Johor and the Plate Competition. But if India wins at Kinrara Oval then it will top the group and SA will make it through to the last eight as Group B runners-up. SA had four points from three games compared to two from two for the West Indies but its net run-rate is currently less than the Windies. So a win of any kind will be enough for Larry Gomes’ team – all eyes
