8 February 2002 World cricket final at Lincoln tomorrow

While New Zealand and South Africa battle out the final of the tri-series in Australia, here in Canterbury and as close as Lincoln University we have world-class cricket action tomorrow (Saturday 9 February).

It's the final of the International Cricket Council's Under-19 Cricket Cup Tournament and the finalists are Australia and South Africa.

The game will be played on the Bert Sutcliffe Oval at Lincoln University and it starts at 10.30am. Admission is free.

The ICC Under-19 World Cup Tournament started on 14 January with 16 nations and around 500 players and support personnel involved.

This is the ICC's third World Under-19 Tournament. To date the tournaments have produced six test match captains internationally, including New Zealand's Lee Germon.
