Pitch Report - Isobel Joyce is pitchside. She starts by saying that this is pitch number 3 and West Indies have already played a game on it and won. Further adds that there is a short boundary on one side of the square, and a long one on the other. Former Irish cricketer, Niall O'Brien says that the left-arm wrist spinner in the Windies ranks will be crucial and Ireland might have to employ the sweeps to good effect.

Captain of Ireland Under-19  Olly Riley says that they would have bowled first anyway. Adds that the trend of the wickets in this tournament has been to do something at the top and then flatten up. Informs that they have also brought in a seamer in place spinner.

Skipper of West Indies Under-19 Joshua Dorne says that they will bat first. Reckons that the surface looks good and want to put runs on the board. Mentions that the pitch can get tricky in the second innings as well and is cherishing this moment to lead his side. Informs that they have one change in the team.

Ireland Under-19 (Playing XI) - James West, Freddie Ogilby (WK), Adam Leckey, Robert O’Brien, Sebastian Dijkstra, Marko Bates, Bruce Whaley, Olly Riley (C), Reuben Wilson, Luke Murray (In place of Samuel Haslett), Thomas Ford.

TOSS - West Indies Under-19 have elected to BAT first.

Ireland Under-19 arrive in this Super Six tie with plenty of confidence of their own. Finishing third in Group A, they punched above their weight, highlighted by a decisive 4-wicket win over Japan where Adam Leckey played a key role with an all-round performance, steering the chase with composure. Although they suffered heavy defeats to Sri Lanka and Australia earlier in the group phase, Ireland showed resilience and tactical growth to clinch that crucial victory and secure qualification. Their line-up has a nice mix of patience and aggression, and players like Robert O’Brien, Freddie Ogilby and fellow contributors in both batting and bowling will be central if Ireland are to upset the more fancied West Indies. Stay tuned for toss and other updates.

West Indies Under-19 have had a mixed but encouraging run in the group stage. They began with a comfortable win over Tanzania, were outplayed by a strong Afghanistan side in their second game, but responded well when it mattered most with a convincing 55-run victory over South Africa to seal their place in the Super Six and carried over the points. The batting has shown promise through Zachary Carter, who scored a magnificent hundred in the last game, and Tanez Francis, while Vitel Lawes and Shaquan Belle have been among the wickets, with the latter picking up a six-fer against the Proteas, giving the Windies a balanced side capable of putting pressure on teams when they find rhythm.

The Super Six stage of the ICC Under-19 World Cup 2026 brings another intriguing encounter as West Indies Under-19 lock horns with Ireland Under-19 at the High Performance Oval in Windhoek. On that note, welcome to our coverage of this important clash. With both sides having booked their spots in this second phase, this clash offers a chance to stake early claim in the race toward the semifinals and maintain momentum in a tournament where every run and wicket matters.

... MATCH DAY ...

The stage is set at the High Performance Oval in Windhoek as the Super 6 stage of the ICC U19 World Cup kicks into high gear. This is a crucial encounter, meaning both teams are carrying points forward from the group stages and cannot afford a slip-up now. The West Indies Under-19, coming off a morale-boosting win against South Africa, will look to dominate, while Ireland Under-19, fresh from a gritty chase against Japan, will be eager to cause an upset. The conditions in Namibia have offered good bounce, so we can expect the new ball to talk early on. The Calypso Kings are riding high on the back of Zachary Carter, who demolished the African bowling in the last game with a massive century. He is the danger man at the top of the order, looking to clear the ropes and unsettle the lengths of the Irish bowlers. With the ball, Shaquan Belle was lethal in his last outing, picking up a six-wicket haul. If he hits the right areas and finds some movement off the deck, the Windies' pace attack will ask serious questions of the Irish top order. On the other side, the Fighting Irish have shown they have the stomach for a battle. Their qualification was sealed by a disciplined all-round performance, led by Freddie Ogilby's classy 73 and a calm finish from Sebastian Dijkstra. Captain Olly Riley and all-rounder Adam Leckey have been keeping things tight with the ball, forcing batters to take risks. They won't have the raw power of the West Indies, so their game plan will likely revolve around rotating the strike, keeping wickets in hand, and applying pressure through sharp fielding. This contest boils down to West Indian flair versus Irish discipline. If the West Indies batters get their eye in, they could post a total that is out of reach. However, if Ireland can nip out a few early wickets and expose the middle order to pressure, they have every chance of turning the screws. It promises to be a cracking contest of willow versus leather.
