For the tenth edition of the U-19 World Cup, the tournament hit yet another landmark as it was played in the UAE for the first ever time in history. In addition to this, Afghanistan was also playing in the Super 8 stage, another achievement for the World Cup.

The victors, South Africa, started off on a strong note, having beaten all three teams in their group to top the table. In the quarters, they squelched Afghanistan by nine wickets before making small work of Australia in the semi finals, beating the three-time champions by 80 runs in the end.

In the finals, RSA restricted Pakistan to just 131 before a composed half-century from skipper Markram, who won the 'player of the series award', took them home with six wickets and 7.5 overs to spare.
