Scotland U19, led by Charlie Peet, on the contrary, have lost all three of their games and finished Group D as the cellar dwellers. They lost to Australia by seven wickets in the previous match on January 19.

After being put in to bat first, Scotland scored 237 for eight. Charlie Tear and Tomas Mackintosh scored 54 runs apiece and guided their team to a respectable score. Thereafter, Australia tracked down the target in 39.5 overs. Oliver Davidson picked up two wickets, but Teague Wyllie's 101-run knock blew them away.
