Preview for Dream11 Fantasy
Australia U19 team went down to West Indies U19 for the first time in eight matches in the World Cup on Saturday. But the runners-up of the last edition have a chance to regroup against Nigeria colts on Monday. The team led by MacKenzie Harvey was bowled out for just 179 runs against the young Caribbeans and though the Aussie bowlers tried their best, they lost the match by three wickets.
Nigeria, on the other hand, will get their campaign underway with a tough game and would be hoping to put up an admirable fight in this game. Their batsmen scored 109 and 61 runs in the warm-ups against Pakistan and South Africa and a definite improvement is needed in that aspect of the game. The bowlers should get a formidable score to have any chance of defending it.
Weather Report/Condition
A possible shower with thunderstorms at 8 AM local time might delay the start of the match. There is also a chance of rain coming down at 3 PM local time and it is likely to be a shortened game. The temperature is expected to hover around 28-30 Degrees Celsius according to AccuWeather.
Pitch Report
