THE PREDICTION

Sri Lanka get their Group D campaign underway against Scotland as they bid to win their first ever Men’s Under-19 World Cup. Their main goal will be firstly to finish in the top two of Group D and that makes this contest a must win. Scotland’s last venture into this competition back in 2020 saw them lose all three of their group games and they enter this encounter as firm underdogs. Opponents Sri Lanka have won four of their last six matches, with one of those games rained off, so they are in good form and full of confidence. The presence of Sri Lanka legend and multiple IPL winning head coach Mahela Jayawardene amid the camp as a consultant coach is a huge plus for their young squad that will learn so much under his guidance. When taking all these factors into account, Sri Lanka look well set for a positive tournament and should open their account with victory here.
