History
Zimbabwe has made the second round of the Under-19 World Cup on three occasions – in South Africa 1998, Bangladesh 2004 and Sri Lanka 2006. In the last of those, Zimbabwe emerged from the first round undefeated, but lost easily to Pakistan in the quarter-finals.
Mluleki Nkala (1998) and Waddington Mwayenga (2002) were the equal leading wicket-takers in their respective tournaments.
Zimbabwe's worst result came at the 2012 World Cup in Australia, where the team suffered defeats to Scotland and Papua New Guinea before regaining some credibility by defeating Namibia in the play-off for 15th place.
