U19 World Cup: England and Afghanistan marched into the Super Six stage of the ICC Under-19 Men’s Cricket World Cup with flawless group-stage records, after emphatic wins over Scotland and Tanzania, respectively, on Wednesday.

Scotland got off to a good start when they removed Ben Dawkins early, but after that, it was all England as both Joseph Moores and Ben Mayes put together a remarkable partnership of 188 runs.

Joseph Moores scored a solid 81 from 65 balls before falling to Scottish bowler Ross MacDonald. However, Ben Mayes had a record-breaking innings, scoring 191 runs from just 117 balls, which is the second-highest score of any player in the U19 World Cup and also the highest score ever by an English player in this tournament.
