Australia take on England in 1st quarterfinal today

QUEENSTOWN, Jan 22 (PTI): Three-time champions Australia will have to put their best foot forward when they face a formidable England in the first Super League quarter-final of the ICC U-19 Cricket World Cup on Tuesday.

Australia found rhythm in the tournament after losing their opening match to India by 100 runs while England advanced winning all their three league matches. Both Australia and England exuded confidence as they trained ahead of their match.

Australia captain Jason Sangha: "We've been focusing on ourselves and the way we want to play our cricket. The more we can control our plans the better cricket we will play tomorrow. We have some really good performances and the team is gelling really well together.

Meanwhile, England captain Harry Brook too looked confident of his team's overall balance and hoped to outclass their rivals.

"The way we have been playing is outstanding. Our bowlers have been taking wickets at the top, our batsmen have been scoring runs.As long as we do the basics, simple things well, there is no reason why we can't beat them," he said.
