INDIA's Under-19 boys' cricket team looks set to beat their South African counterparts in the final of the triangular series at King Edward School in Johannesburg today. The match starts at 10am.

The tournament, which also included Sri Lanka, kicked off on December 27.

India won all three of their matches in the series to top the log. The hosts managed one win against two defeats, but came second to set up a tough final.

SA coach Ray Jennings is confident his boys will surprise the impressive Indian side tomorrow.

"We have had time to gel as a unit and to find the right formula and are all ready for the final," said Jennings. The coach will rely on Colin Ackerman, who is coming off a brilliant century.
