Aussies v England in U19 cricket quarters

Australia will face England in the quarter-finals of the under-19s cricket World Cup in New Zealand.

Australia will face an undefeated England in the quarter-finals of the under-19s cricket World Cup.

After Australia flogged Papua New Guinea on Friday by 311 runs to finish second in their group, England set up Tuesday's date in Lincoln with a 282-run flogging of Canada to top their group.

Sent in to bat on Saturday by the Canadians, England thumped their way to 7-383 after Liam Banks (120) and Will Jacks (102) struck centuries.

They rolled through Canada in 31.5 overs to take top spot in the group from Bangladesh, who will face India in a quarter-final.

New Zealand will play Afghanistan in their quarter-final after beating South Africa on Saturday by 71 runs, with the Proteas set to face Pakistan in the other knockout match.
