Jakeem Pollard to JJ Basson
That's a nasty bouncer. Pollard targets the head of the batter with a well-directed bumper. Basson picks it late, tries to duck, but is late in moving away from the line of fire. He is pinged on the helmet as the ball tamely rolls back to the bowler. That would have rung the bell in Basson's head.

Drinks! The Proteas sit at 69/3 after 15, still requiring 166 from the remaining 35 overs. After a rocky start saw three big scalps fall inside the Powerplay, Armaan Manack and Jason Rowles have begun the recovery, finding the fence and rotating the strike with renewed intent. For South Africa, the equation is now about pure sustainability, this pair must weather the storm and take the game deep to keep the chase truly alive.

Drinks! It is crunch time for South Africa! They require 91 runs from the final 20 overs, but the real worry is the lack of batting depth left in the shed. Daniel Bosman and Lethabo Phahlamohlaka must stay set because if the West Indies spinners or Shaquan Belle strike now, the tail could be exposed very quickly in this tense chase.

That is all from this game and another day at the ICC Men's Under-19 World Cup 2026. West Indies never let South Africa into the contest and cruised to a comfortable win. Action resumes on Friday, 23rd January 2026, with two matches starting at 7.30 am GMT - Bangladesh vs USA and Australia vs Sri Lanka. Do join us for all the updates. Cheers!
