Australia and South Africa continued their unbeaten run in the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup Australia 2012 with contrasting wins in their Super League quarter-finals on Sunday.

At the Endeavour Park in Townsville, defending champion Australia earned a hard-fought five-wickets win over Bangladesh. Australia captain Will Bosisto led from the front as his side overcame the loss of early wickets to chase down Bangladesh’s total of 171.

South Africa, on the other hand, was clinical in its performance against England in the other Super League quarter-final as it registered a 103-run victory. South Africa’s Prenelan Subrayen was the star of the win with the ball at the Tony Ireland Stadium in front of ESPN STAR Sports’ HD cameras.

Australia and South Africa will now clash in the first semi-final on Tuesday 21 August, at the Tony Ireland Stadium in front of ESPN STAR Sports’ HD cameras.
