Australia go three from three as Bangladesh clinch qualification

Windhoek, Jan 23 (UNI) Some sensational bowling set Australia up for a third win from three matches at the ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup 2026 while Bangladesh booked their place in the Super Six. William Byrom was the pick of the bowlers for Australia, taking five wickets as they bowled out Sri Lanka for just 58 and cruised to top spot in Group A. Meanwhile, in Harare, Bangladesh overcame the USA by seven wickets as skipper Azizul Hakim Takim scored 64 in what was effectively a winner-takes-all battle for qualification.
