The Baby Boks come up against perennial finalists New Zealand in the final tonight. New Zealand lost their first ever match since the inception of the u20 age-group version of the event against Wales during the group stages. However they avenged that defeat by thumping Wales in the semi-finals. The Baby Boks will go in as underdogs knowing that it will take a huge effort of similar proportions to that produced by them against England to topple the defending champs.
The Junior World Cup Final kicks off at Newlands, Cape Town at 06:45pm this evening.
