Out of the 16 teams, 12 teams qualified for the next stages. These 12 teams are divided into two groups. And they will fight to proceed to the semifinals. The article will provide the Women’s Under-19 World Cup 2023’s super six-stage preview. ICC U-19 Women’s T20 World Cup: Super Six Stage Group 1 Preview The top three point holders of Group A and Group D will compete for the semifinal in Super Six group 1. The six teams are India, Bangladesh, Australia, South Africa, Sri Lanka, and the United Arab Emirates.

India vs Australia: January 21 The teams will meet on January 21 at North-West University No1 Ground, Potchefstroom, for the first Super Six match. It will take place at 5:45 PM Bangladesh time. The Indian under-19 Women’s national cricket team began their World Cup campaign on a strong note, successfully navigating the group stage without a single defeat. They emerged at the top of Group D’s standings, earning six points and boasting a net run rate of +4.039.

However, they quickly rebounded by winning consecutive games, earning second place in the standings with four points and a net run rate of +3.015. They now face a challenging task as they go up against a well-performed Indian squad in their first match of the Super Six stage. But, the match will surely be competitive as both teams have some talented batters and bowlers. Bangladesh vs South Africa: January 21 Bangladesh entered the Super Six after beating Australia, Sri Lanka, and the United States with a burst of self-confidence in batting, bowling, fielding, and body language. The next opponent today is South Africa. The game will start at 5:45 PM Bangladesh time at Senwes Park, Potchefstroom. If Bangladesh defeats the hosts today, then surely there will be no more difficult obstacles to reaching the semifinals. South Africa, on the other hand, lost one group-stage match against India. Apart from this, they had a great overall performance. But, they might fall behind in front of Bangladesh’s confidence. South Africa has a strong bowling lineup as they have stopped UAE and Scotland under 70 runs. Hence, Bangladesh might have to be careful against South Africa.

India vs Sri Lanka: January 22 This match will take place on January 22 at 5:45 PM Bangladesh time at Senwes Park, Potchefstroom. India is a top favorite of this Women’s U19 World Cup. As per their group stage performance, it is expected that they will reach the semifinal without any obstacles. India’s tremendous batting and bowling lineup have the capability to beat Sri Lanka. However, Sri Lanka’s batting lineup is comparatively weaker than India’s. Out of their three-group stage matches, Sri Lanka has won only one match, that too against the USA. So, there is a great chance that India’s U 19 Women will dominate over Sri Lanka. United Arab Emirates vs Australia: January 23 UAE and Australia will meet on January 23 at Senwes Park. Comparing their recent performance, Australia won three matches in the last five matches. On the other hand, UAE won only one match, which was their first World Cup match against Scotland. So, it is predictable that UAE has little chance of beating Australia. Read More: India take 2-0 series lead with ODI win over New Zealand Australia has been having a good run in the World Cup except for the only loss against Bangladesh. Other than that, Australia has a good bowling lineup. As we have seen, they destroyed Sri Lanka and all out in 51 runs. Also, they stopped the USA in 64 runs. So, Australia will surely beat the UAE. South Africa vs Sri Lanka: January 24 This will be the second match for both teams. Regardless of their Super Six’s first-match performance, it can be said that South Africa’s winning chance is great here. South African bowlers such as Miane Smit and Madison Landsman may make it difficult for Sri Lanka to have a big score. United Arab Emirates vs Bangladesh: January 25 UAE reached the Super Six stage with a win against Scotland. And the team has lost the other two matches against India and South Africa. As per the recent performance in the Women’s U19 T20 World Cup, the Bangladesh cricket team is way stronger than the Arab Emirates. Hence, Bangladesh’s chance to win the game is huge. On top of that, Bangladesh’s strong bowling and batting lineup will surely dominate UAE.

On the other hand, New Zealand scored 99 runs in 16.1 overs and with the match by f wickets. So, it is an easy win for New Zealand. Ireland vs England: January 21 While writing this article, Ireland vs England match was underway. And England earned a big score of 207 runs by losing only two wickets. Grace Scrivens scored 93 runs in 56 balls. It was expected that England would win the match with a big difference. The English team won the match by 121 runs as they stopped Ireland by 86 runs. Read More: BCB announces new national contract for 2023 West Indies vs Rwanda: January 22 In their group stage, West Indies had some big innings against Ireland and Indonesia. However, they had a poor performance against New Zealand, and West Indies became all out in 19.2 overs and scored 68 runs only. So, given the fact that the West Indies can perform well against a weaker team. Hence, They have a huge chance to win with a big difference against Rwanda. Pakistan vs Ireland: January 23 Pakistan reached the Super Six by winning two games in their group stage. On the other hand, Ireland was in third place in group C. Pakistan’s only loss came against England. But they got an easy win against Zimbabwe and a competitive win against Rwanda. Read More: BPL 2023: Shakib continues to shine with the bat as Barishal beat Dhaka Oh, the other hand, Ireland’s only win came against Indonesia. And it has been seen that Ireland could not perform well against a strong team. Hence, Pakistan’s winning probability is higher here. New Zealand vs Pakistan: January 24 There is no doubt that the match will be highly competitive as both teams have a strong batting and bowling lineup. Pakistani batters such as Eyman Fatima and Syeda Aroob Shah can make a difference, while bowlers such as Anosha Nasir will surely put her maximum effort. On the other hand, Anna Browning might hit a big score for New Zealand. New Zealand is unbeaten so far in the tournament. And they were consistent in the group stage.

England vs West Indies: January 25 This is the last match of Super Six group 2. After a big win against Ireland, England’s net run rate is 4.775, which will surely help them to reach the semifinal. However, a win against West Indies will certainly lead them to the Semifinal. Comparing their past performance, England is clearly ahead of the West Indies. English has an incredible batting lineup, while West Indies contains an average lineup. Hence, Liberty Heap, Niamh Holland, and Grace Scrivens will surely help England to have a big score. Given the fact of both teams’ performances, England will surely win the match. How Will the Teams Go to The Semifinals? The top two teams from each group will go to the semifinals by combining the points from the group stage and the points from the Super Six stage. However, if more than one team is tied on points in the Super Six phase, the highest number of wins in this group will be considered first. In that case, teams like Bangladesh and India, which have two wins in the group stage, will have an added advantage. Read More: BPL 2023: Comilla continue on winning run However, the situation is such that two teams cannot be separated by the number of wins alone in most cases. In that case, the net run rate will be considered. Final Words The top team from one group of the super six will face the runners-up of the other group in the semifinals. So, it is predicted that India, Australia, New Zealand, and England will proceed from the ICC Under-19 Women’s T20 World Cup's Super Six round to the semifinal round. However, cricket is a game of uncertainty. Hence, we will have to wait until January 25 and wait for the last match of Super Six.

The first Under-19 Women’s T20 World Cup organized by the International Cricket Council (ICC) started on January 14, 2023. However, the inaugural event was scheduled to take place in January 2021 but was postponed multiple times due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The tournament was finally started in South Africa in 2023, and Bangladesh automatically qualified for the tournament as a full member of the ICC. And the team proceeded to the super six rounds by beating Australia, Sri Lanka, and the USA. Bangladesh’s team is in great rhythm as they have won all three group stage matches. So, how far the U-19 Bangladesh Women’s Cricket Team can go? Let’s analyze their performance.

Bangladesh passed the target of 131 runs with 12 balls in hand. After the winning run, the girls of Bangladesh floated with joy at Willomoor Park. However, at the beginning of the run chase, it was not predicted that Bangladesh would win so easily. It started as badly as possible as opener Misty Saha was out on the first ball of the innings. From there, Dilara Akhtar and Afia Prottasha made a partnership of 66 runs from 60 balls. Dilara, who started batting in one down, returned with 40 runs from 42 balls, leaving the team at 66 runs in the first ball of the eleventh over. After five balls and five runs, Prottasha also returned with 24 runs off 22 balls. There were 2 four-sixes in the Prottasha’s innings. Dilara’s innings were lined with 7 fours. After losing 2 wickets quickly, Sshorna and Sumaiya did the job without any pressure.

DIlara Akter became the player of the match.

In bowling, captain Disha took two wickets, and Marufa took one wicket for Bangladesh. Bangladesh lost two openers within the team’s 21 runs. However, Shorna Akter paired with Dilara Akter in the third wicket pair and gave a good pace in Bangladesh’s score. The pair scored 38 runs, and Shorna scored 22 runs from 14 balls.

So far, Bangladesh’s U 19 women’s team has had a great performance with their unbeaten streak in the world cup. However, Bangladesh may face difficulties against South Africa. Although they lost one match in the group stage against India, South Africa tends to take more runs and be consistent compared to other teams in the tournaments except for India. On the other hand, Bangladesh tends to play mixing the defending and attacking cricket. As a result, Bangladesh is able to play 20 overs without losing many wickets. As a result, if Bangladesh can keep up its group stage performance, the tigress can win the match against South Africa. On the other hand, Bangladesh should get an easy win against the United Arab Emirates. UAE won only one game in the group stage, and comparatively, they are weaker than the Bangladesh team. Read More: BPL 2023: All Teams Squad, Captain, Players List details So, winning both games will surely lead Bangladesh to the semifinals.

Can Bangladesh Reach the Final of ICC U-19 Women’s T20 World Cup 2023? If Bangladesh reaches the semifinal, there is a big chance that the team may face any of the teams among Pakistan, New Zealand, England, and the West Indies. And all these teams are playing incredible games on the group stage. So, Bangladesh’s Under 19 Women’s team has very little hope for the final. Final Words Bangladesh Under-19 Women’s team has already achieved impressive results in the group stage and will continue to strive for excellence as they prepare for the Super Six stage. With consistence performance, Bangladesh has the potential to go to the semifinal and make a mark in the international cricket arena. However, we will have to wait until January 25 to see the outcome. Read More: BPL 2023: Who Can Win the 9th Bangladesh Premier League

It seems three teams are currently fighting for a place in the semifinals from Group 1, while the scenarios in Group 2 are a bit complicated. Let’s take a look at the semifinal qualification scenarios for the T20 World Cup 2022.

They have five points with better run rates than England and Australia. The Kiwi side will face Ireland in their final group stage fixture and will advance to the next round if they simply beat them. England and Australia will likely battle it out for the second spot in this group. Both have 5 points each, but England ahead of Australia thanks to better run rates. England will take on Sri Lanka in their final group phase fixtures, while Australia will face Afghanistan. In a realistic point of view, Sri Lanka have a better chance to beat England than Afghanistan have to overcome Australia. The reigning champions, Australia, will be hoping for Sri Lanka to defeat England in their final fixture so that they can advance to the next phase by beating Afghanistan. On the other hand, England will qualify for the next phase if they beat Sri Lanka. The Lankan side is in fourth place with 4 points, and they have a chance if they beat England. But at the same time, Australia have to lose their fixture against Afghanistan in order for Sri Lanka to advance to the next phase. Besides, Ireland and Afghanistan have no chance to move on to the semifinals as they are in the fifth and sixth positions, respectively, with 3 and 2 points each.

South Africa are in the second position with 5 points and will have two matches left against Pakistan and the Netherlands, respectively. The Proteas side is the hot favourite to finish in the top two in the standings as they have a strong run rate. Bangladesh are in third position with 4 points and can have 6 points if they beat Pakistan in their final fixture on November 6. On the other hand, Pakistan can earn as many as 6 points if they win their final two fixtures against South Africa and Bangladesh, respectively. Both Bangladesh and Pakistan have an outside chance to finish in the top two of the points table, but that completely depends on the outcomes of India and South Africa’s fixtures. Besides, Zimbabwe and the Netherlands are currently in the fourth and sixth positions, respectively. These two teams have no chance of making it to the knockout stage.

So,it was expected that the Proteas side would come out with a lot of aggression against the Tigers in order to increase their run rates. South African players did exactly what they planned to do against Bangladesh. In contrast, Bangladesh's players choked big time and suffered a huge defeat. Here are the player ratings of the Bangladesh cricketers.

He played a very bad shot off an incoming delivery by Nortje, which resulted in a clean bowled. Soumya Sarkar (3/10) Soumya smacked two beautiful sixes in the mid-wicket region and showed intent to chase down South Africa’s massive 206 run target. But after making a 26-run stand with Najmul Hossain in 2 overs, Soumya lost his wicket to Anrich Nortje. Litton Das (5/10) Litton Das played a decent 34 off 31 balls knock after coming to the crease in the third over. He stayed at the crease till the 14th over, witnessing the wickets fall of the Bangladesh players. Shakib Al Hasan (4/10)Shakib is yet to fulfill his expectations in the ongoing Twenty20 World Cup. The left-hand all-rounder made 1 run and picked up 2 wickets with the ball at an economy rate of 11. Afif Hossain (3/10) Afif didn’t do much with the bat in this match, scoring only 1 run. But he got the wicket of Quinton de Kock when bowling the 15th over. Mehidy Hasan Miraz (2/10) Yasir Ali was replaced by off-spinning all-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz for this match. However, his inclusion proved to be fruitless. Miraz conceded 32 runs in 3 overs and made 11 runs with the bat. Mosaddek Hossain (2/10)Mosaddek played a crucial knock in the last match against the Netherlands. But he didn’t do anything against South Africa.

Hasan Mahmud (5/10) Hasan Mahmud continued his good showing with the ball in the match against South Africa. The promising young pacer finished his spell with a 4-0-36-1.

The left-arm pacer had the best economy rate among the bowlers despite remaining wicketless. Mustafizur's final tally was 4-0-25-0. Aftermath Bangladesh's 104-run loss against South Africa was their biggest defeat in T20 cricket, making the Shakib-led team even more embarrassing.
