Men's Under 19 World Cup
Semi-final: Australia lost to England by 27 runs.

Queens, Bulawayo, 3 February.
England 277-7 (50 overs; T Rew 110, C Falconer 40, F Ahmed 28*, J Moores 25, B Mayes 24; H Schiller 2-31, N Cooray 2-49)
Australia 250 (47.2 overs; O Peake 100, N Samuel 47, A Sharma 34; James Minto 2-30, S Morgan 2-33, R Albert 2-34, M Lumsden 2-30)
A spectacular century from Ollie Peake but in a losing cause
A Thomas Rew century in a 135 run partnership with Caleb Falconer the highlight of an England innings that at one time looked like topping 300. That it didn’t was down to a Australian fightback in the final ten overs that saw them claim three wickets including that of Rew. With the pitch a bit up and down and taking spin it will take an Australian innings to match Rew’s if they are to reach the Final and a lot rests Melbourne Renegades’ batter Ollie Peake to keep them in the game. Nitesh Samuel hits Albert for a big six but is stumped trying for another in the twenty-fifth over,111-3 at the halfway stage. Two wickets lost with little addition brings Aryan Sharma to the crease and he goes on the attack with fifty coming off the next six overs. He goes, caught in the deep and now it really is all on Ollie Peake. Hayden Schiller swinging away drills one to mid-off and 79 are required off the final 10 overs. A second wicket for Ralphie Albert with Peake turning down singles in the search for boundaries. WOW!!! 6,4,4,4,4,0 off Manny Lumsden takes him to 99. It's 32 off the final 4 overs for a place in the Final. Lachmund bowled by Morgan next ball - can Will Byrom get Peake back on strike? Yes he can and Peake hobbles the single that gives him his century. He has cramp in his leg and in his hands and can only squirt a cartch to point off James Minto. England win what was a great game, worthy of a Final.
