Manny Lumsden starred with the ball as England secured a 65-run victory over New Zealand to advance to the semi-finals of the men’s Under-19 World Cup.

The Hampshire seamer produced a brilliant spell on the slow pitch at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo, finishing with 5-17 as New Zealand were dismissed for 169 while chasing England’s 235.

England will face either Australia or Afghanistan in the semi-finals on 3 or 4 February, depending on India’s final Super Six group match against Pakistan. India currently sit second with six points but have a higher net run-rate (+3.337) than England (+1.757), which will determine the semi-final matchups.

“It’s great to win and know we’re through. We’re now looking forward to the semi-finals,” said England captain Thomas Rew. “Manny’s been excellent throughout the tournament. Having a bowler with that kind of firepower is a huge asset.”

England posted 234-7 batting first on a tricky surface. Openers Ben Dawkins (42) and Joseph Moores added 48 for the first wicket, while Dawkins later shared another 48-run stand with top scorer Ben Mayes, who made 53 off 70 balls. Caleb Falconer (47) and Farhan Ahmed (29) provided late acceleration, with Snehith Reddy taking 2-28 for New Zealand.

Lumsden struck early, removing the dangerous Hugo Bogue and Kiwi captain Tom Jones in the eighth over. Reddy battled with 47 off 65 balls, and Jaskaran Sandhu contributed 26 before falling to Lumsden, who then finished the match by taking the final two wickets in consecutive deliveries.

Rew added, “It was a tough wicket, very inconsistent, but our seamers bowled brilliantly, and 230-240 was always going to be a competitive total.”
