Shah

After a long of ten years, the Youth World Cup was back in 1998 and was taking place in South Africa as the '1998 MTN Under-19 World Cup'. Sixteen teams took part in the competition with England running away with the spoils in the end.

England started well in the pool stage and won both opening matches before losing to Bangladesh in their last group stage match. In the Plate stage (quarterfinals), England occupied second place on the table and they qualified for the finals against New Zealand.

On the back of a fine century from Stephen Peters and a half century from skipper Owais Shah, England won the final and clinched the trophy, the first time since the tournament's inception.
