Australia’s Will Malajczuk broke the record for the fastest U19 World Cup hundred when he reached the mark from just 51 balls against Japan while West Indies’ Shaquan Belle claimed the best figures of the event after taking six for 40 against South Africa.
However, both the latter two nations couldn’t get out of Group 1, falling alongside Sri Lanka and Ireland.
Pakistan, New Zealand, Zimbabwe and Bangladesh were the teams to go out from Group 2, but the former of that quartet did run India close during their final Super Six match where a win could have taken them through.
Tanzania, Scotland, Japan and USA made up the four sides who competed in the 13th to 16th Place play-offs, with Japan winning their first U19 World Cup match against Tanzania to finish 14th overall.
