West Indies Under-19s will play Papua New Guinea Under-19s on Wednesday in Trinidad & Tobago in a quarter-final of the ICC Men's Under-19 Cricket World Cup Plate Tournament.
The Plate tournament is contested between the eight teams that failed to advance to the Super League quarter-final stage of the competition and is an important phase of the competition for the development of the young cricketers.
The young Windies finished third in Group D behind Sri Lanka Under-19s and Australia Under-19s after only picking up one win in their three group games, a seven-wicket win over Scotland.
The other plate quarter-final matchups are UAE U-19s vs Uganda U-19s, Ireland U-19s vs Canada U-19s and Zimbabwe U-19s vs Scotland U-19s.
After the quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals are completed, the winner of the Plate tournament will be crowned overall ninth-place finishers at the ICC Men’s Under-19 Cricket World Cup.
The Super League quarter-finals will see England U-19s facing South Africa U-19s, an All-Asia affair with Afghanistan U-19s facing Sri Lanka U-19s, a rematch of the 2020 final with India U-19s facing defending champions Bangladesh U-19s before Australia U-19s do battle with Pakistan U-19s.
The champions will be crowned on February 5 at the final at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua and Barbuda.
