Afghanistan U19 will take on Papua New Guinea U19 in the 13th match of the U19 World Cup 2022 on Tuesday, 18th January at the Diego Martin Sporting Complex.
Afghanistan U19 didn't have a great time in the U19 Asia Cup. They managed to win only one of their three games in the tournament.
The Afghans also didn’t get to play the warm-up matches at U19 World Cup 2022 owing to their late arrival in the West Indies.
Meanwhile, Papua New Guinea U19 will be disappointed with their performance in the opening game of the U19 WC 2022. They suffered a massive 228-run defeat against Zimbabwe U19 and would now aim to bounce back in this match.
