England smash highest Under-19 ODI total of 404 for 6

Ben Mayes scored a 117-ball 191 as England registered a crushing 252-run win over Scotland. Mayes slammed 18 boundaries and eight sixes as England posted 404 for 6 before bundling out Scotland for 152. The total of 404 is the highest total in Under-19 ODIs.

Put in to bat, England lost Ben Dawkins early, but a 188-run stand between Joseph Moores and Mayes set the foundation. Thomas Rew and Caleb Falconer made useful contributions before Sebastian Morgen scored a brisk 11-ball 24 to help the side post in excess of 400.

Scotland openers, Theo Robinson and Thomas Knight, made a steady start with a 38-run stand. However, Robinson's dismissal led to a collapse. English bowlers struck regularly, reducing Scotland to 87 for 7 by the 27th over. The lower order offered some resistance through Finlay Carter, but they never threatened the target. Falconer was the pick of the bowlers with three wickets.

Brief Scores: England 404/6 in 50 overs (Ben Mayes 191, Joseph Moores 81; Jake Woodhouse 3-88) beat Scotland 152 in 44.5 overs (Finlay Carter 34; Caleb Falconer 3-19, Manny Lumsden 2-17) by 252 runs.

Afghanistan cruise to nine-wicket win over Tanzania

Nooristani Omarzai's five-wicket haul paved the way for Afghanistan's convincing nine-wicket win over Tanzania. Put in to bat, Tanzania were bundled out for 85, a total chased down by Afghanistan in only 12.4 overs.

Only three Tanzania batters reached double figures as Afghanistan's bowlers struck regularly. A 35-run stand between Augustino Meya Mwamele and Laksh Bakrania was the only significant partnership. Once the duo departed, Omarzai ripped through the lower order to bowl Tanzania out in 36 overs.

In response, Afghanistan broke little sweat. After Khalid Ahmadzai departed in the fifth over, Faisal Shinozada blazed an unbeaten 34-ball 55, including nine boundaries and a six, to overhaul the total within 13 overs.

Brief Scores: Tanzania 85 in 36 overs (Augustino Meya 14; Nooristani Omarzai 5-9) lost to Afghanistan 88/1 in 12.4 overs (Faisal Shinozada 55*) by 9 wickets.
