Zimbabwe's U19 side were on the wrong end of a 10-wicket thumping in Kuala Lumpur this morning, as Australia rolled them over in emphatic style and gave a pointer to the struggles the side will face when the tournament proper gets under way next week. Batting first, Zim were bowled out for 57 (16 of those came from Extras), with Tendai Mashonganyika (12) and captain Prince Masvaure (10) the only players to hit double figures. Hazelwood (3/17) and King (3/6) led the attack for Australia.

In reply, Australia hardly broken a sweat, with openers Hughes (40*) and Sarna (12*) running up the required runs in just 7.2 overs, with Zim's bowling being treated with contempt throughout.
Zimbabwe U19 57 (28.3 overs; Mashonganyika 12, King 3/6), Australia U19 60/0 (7.2 overs; Hughes 40*, Sarna 12*). Australia U19 win by 10 wickets.

Full scorecard below the cut. Zimbabwe's next match is against Nepal on Thurdsday, and will be a good gauge of how much Zim are going to struggle in this tourney - if Nepal can trouble them, then we're in trouble...
