ICC U19 Men: Former champions Pakistan and West Indies started their respective campaigns in the Super Six stage with hard-fought identical three-wicket wins in the ICC U19 Men's Cricket World Cup 2024 in South Africa on Tuesday.

Two-time winners Pakistan maintained their unbeaten streak with a tough win over a spirited Ireland side in Potchefstroom, edging over the line thanks to another impressive bowling display and heroics from their middle order.

In Kimberley, West Indies emerged victorious in a game that swung back and forth. Sri Lanka’s bowlers took the game to the final over but were unable to overturn another gritty fightback from the West Indies lineup.
