This game can be viewed on West Indies Cricket YouTube Channel and on Fan Code in India.

Preview:

Sri Lanka Under-19s kick-started their campaign with a 1-wicket win against the hosts West Indies Under-19s. This result comes as a surprise since the West Indies were considered to be the stronger side in the competition. Chasing 138 to win, the Lankan U19s were nine down for only 101 on the board. An unbeaten 37-run stand for the 10th wicket helped them to start with a win. England U19s, on the other hand, lost the tournament opener but bounced back with a win in the next games; both played against the West Indies team.

Weather Condition/Report:

The game between Sri Lanka and England is likely to get affected by showers.

Pitch Condition/Report:

The Sir Viv Richards Stadium in Antigua has been a tough venue for the batsmen as no team has crossed 170 in the three matches. The first two matches saw the team batting first winning despite managing only 160. On Tuesday, Sri Lanka lost 9 wickets before chasing down the target of 138. We might not see any improvement.
