The other two Quarter-finalists would be decided by today’s Group League matches from Group A and Group B.

As the tournament is ideally famous for pioneering young cricketers, and history books have recorded many examples of it, let’s dig out the hat-tricks of the U19 World Cup so far.

Kuldeep Yadav became the first Indian to take a hat-trick in the history of the Under-19 World Cup.

Belongs to a rare breed of cricketers – Left arm spin or Chinaman, this 19-year-old has been a hot topic of discussion everywhere for a while. In a group match against Scotland U19, he grabbed three wickets from three consecutive deliveries; thus, acclaimed the title of first indian to have a hat-trick in Under-19 WC history.

The UP born dismissed Nick Farrar, Kyle Stirling and Alex Baum to achieve this feat; his bowling card reads: 4/28 with an economy of 2.80.

Coming from the Brett Lee’ hometown – Sydney, Australia – Harry Conway did an absolute blunder for Nepal U19 in the 2012 World Cup. The 6.5 feet tall was well supported by fellow-bowlers to ensure a commendable win of Australia by 212 runs - restricting Nepal below 25 overs.

The then 19-year-old bagged wickets of Pradeep Airee, Naresh Budayair and Prithu Baskota by shattering their off-stump in quick successions. He finished with 3/15 from six overs.

An admirer of Dale Steyn and Wasim Akram, Kamran Islam Rabbi of Bangladesh played a pivotal role, alongside his team-mate Alauddin Babu, in the Plate final of the ICC U19 World Cup 2010 against Ireland. Defending a marginal total of 307 runs, Tigers wrapped Irish innings in the 39th over, won by 195 runs.

A frontline pacer of his side, Kamran took only 4.5 overs to complete his hat-trick – wrapping the tail of Irish-innings, dismissing Shane Getkate, Eddie Richardson and Craig Young. Kamran wishes to become a forest officer, if he can’t excel as a professional cricketer.
