Men's U19 World Cup: Windies Make Winning Start With Win Over Tanzania

By IANS News January 15, 2026 • 22:42 PM View: 100

SCOTLAND ABANDONED WITHOUT TOSS: The 2016 winner, the West Indies, made a winning start, beating Tanzania by five wickets in their opening match of the ICC Men's Under-19 Cricket World Cup at the High Performance Oval in Windhoek, Namibia, to go top of Group D.

Meanwhile, the match between Zimbabwe and Scotland in Harare was abandoned without a ball being bowled.

At the High Performance Oval in Windhoek, Tanez Francis was the star with the bat for the Windies, having scored a fine half-century after Vitel Lawes-led bowling effort restricted Tanzania to a very chaseable score of 121.
