The men\u2019s Japan Under 19 National team continued their arc of improvement in a fighting defeat to defending champions Australia at the U19 World Cup in Windhoek, Namibia.<\/p>\n
Winning the toss and choosing to bat first, Nihar Parmar<\/a> and Hugo Tani-Kelly recorded their third 50+ partnership against full member nations (following knocks against India and Sri Lanka).<\/p>\n A mixup led to the run out of Parmar for 33 from 67 balls, but Charlie Hara-Hinze came out with aggressive intent as the team moved to 100 for two at the end of the 24th over.<\/p>\n His dismissal for 24 off 22 balls sparked a collapse of four wickets for 13 runs, but Tani-Kelly<\/a> stood firm and found an ally in Monty Hara-Hinze (29 from 51).<\/p>\n A partnership for the eighth wicket of 72 from 102 balls dragged the team towards 200, eventually finishing 201 for eight with Tani-Kelly again not out, this time finishing 79* from 135 balls.<\/p>\n Will Malajczuk came out all guns blazing, smashing a 51-ball century before falling to Nihar Parmar for 102.<\/p>\n Charlie Hara-Hinze<\/a> then knocked over Steven Hogan to go level with Kiefer Yamamoto-Lake as the leading wicket-taker for the Japan Under 19s, before Australia passed the target with eight wickets to spare in the 30th over.<\/p>\n Japan are next in action on Thursday as they take on Ireland with the winner guaranteed a place in the next phase of the tournament.<\/p>\n All times are Japan Standard Time.
