Nicaragua has secured a spot in the Super Round of the WBSC U-23 Baseball World Cup 2024, remaining undefeated after Day 4. They achieved this by defeating the Netherlands, ranked 7th, but to claim first place and maintain a perfect record, they must overcome Korea, who is ranked 6th, in their final group match. Meanwhile, Venezuela, ranked 5th, is well-positioned to advance from Group B, though the Netherlands, who will face South Africa, also have a chance to secure a spot with a 3-2 record. The possibility of a three-way tie for second place remains a concern.
In Group A, Japan, ranked 1st, is in an advantageous position. They are set to play against Great Britain, currently ranked 18th and yet to secure a win. Japan's strong performance so far gives them confidence as they head into Day 5. Additionally, Puerto Rico, ranked 10th, is also in a favorable position and will face Colombia, ranked 11th, who have already been eliminated from the tournament.
Australia, ranked 15th, and China, ranked 24th, are scheduled to play a crucial game that could determine their fate in the tournament. This match could potentially serve as an elimination game, making it a key fixture to watch on Day 5.
The final group stage day will see intense competition as teams strive to avoid ties and secure their places in the Super Round, with standout games including Nicaragua's clash with Korea and Australia's encounter with China.
