South Africa Posts Highest Score Of 2026 U19 Men’s World Cup Against Tanzania
Cricket World Cup: South Africa smashed their way to posting a mammoth 397/5 against Tanzania, which is now the highest score by a team in the 2026 ICC Men's U-19 Cricket World Cup at the High Performance Oval on Monday. It’s also South Africa’s best total in their history of participating in the tournament.
South Africa were powered to the gigantic score by centuries from captain Muhammad Bulbulia and Jason Rowles. The score of 397/5 also surpassed South Africa's previous U-19 World Cup record of 359/6 against Namibia in 2012 and eclipsed Sri Lanka's 391 against Japan made earlier in this edition of the competition.
It stands as the eighth highest score overall since the tournament's inception. Bulbulia scored a run-a-ball 108 while Rowles remained unbeaten on 125 off 101 balls, a knock laced with ten fours and five sixes, as the pair put together a 201-run third-wicket partnership that left the Tanzanian bowling attack dazed.
