Under 19 world cup is always a good watch because of how close and competitive the competition is.
All the groups are tight.
Group A is basically between Scotland and South Africa for the 2nd spot and Scotland should be the favourites got a better team.
Group B is crazy Afghanistan, Pakistan and Sri lanka are all good enough to win the competition or go far only 2 qualify.
Group C should be England and West indies qualifying easily,
Group D was a group of death but Australia pulled out so India and NZ should qualify easily.
Bookies have India massive favourites basically evens.
Bangladesh are my dark horses.
the fact is can only see India/Bangladesh or pakistan winning this the rest of the team don't have the depth to trouble them,
England are lucky they don't have Afghanistan or a strong 3rd team and a sub C team being the 2nd team.
if they were in group B they would struggle to come out of the group.
