West Indies 234 all out (Carter 114, van Lange 29, Basson 5-23) beat South Africa 179 all out (Rowles 46, Phahlamohlaka 26, Belle 6-40) by 55 runs
The West Indies advanced to the Super Six stage of the ICC Men’s Under-19 World Cup following a 55-run win over South Africa at Namibia's High Performance Centre in Windhoek on Thursday. A century from opener Zachary Carter and a vintage spell of fast-bowling from Shaquan Belle highlighted the win, which helped the Caribbean side finish second in Group D on 4 points.
The West Indies lost opener Tanez Francis (14) early in their innings at 33 for 1 in the seventh over. Skipper Joshua Dorne joined Carter, and the pair shared in an 82-run stand before JJ Basson (5/23) got the breakthrough, removing Dorne for 20.
Dorne’s wicket was the first of Basson’s triple strike in the 23rd over. He also accounted for Jewel Andrew and Shamar Apple in consecutive deliveries, both without scoring, to leave the West Indies 115 for 4.
