Zim Under-19s seek to end losing streak

THE Zimbabwe Under-19 cricket team will be hoping to end a disappointing run of five consecutive defeats, when they take on Afghanistan in the second Youth One Day International (ODI) at the Greater Noida Stadium in India today.

Afghanistan lead the four-match series 1-0, after registering a comfortable five wicket victory in the first match of the series on Sunday.

The defeat was the Zimbabwe Under-19’s fifth in as many matches after their 4-0 whitewash defeat to Bangladesh last month and coach Stephen Mangongo will be desperate for his charges to level the series.
