Early career

2012 Under-19 Cricket World Cup

After getting the chance to lead the Under-19 cricket team of South Africa in 2012 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup, he scored 115 runs off 115 balls against Namibia while building a 212 runs partnership with Quinton de Kock in the second group match. The team won by a massive 209 runs.[4] They also won the 3rd match against Sri Lanka by 4 wickets. Bowes scored 46 runs off 51 balls in the match.[5] They progressed to the knock-out stage as group champions and beat England there by 103 runs to reach the semis. Bowes scored 46 runs off 54 balls in the match.[6] Despite their good form throughout the tournament, they lost to Australia in the first semi-final by 4 wickets. Coming to bat first, South Africa faced an early breakdown. But then Bowes and Murray Coetzee built the innings to take the team to 191/8 in 50 overs. But it wasn't enough as the Aussies beat them in the penultimate over chasing down the target successfully. Bowes scored 46 off 104 balls in the match.[7] In the 3rd place match of the under-19 world cup against New Zealand, they made the kiwis get all out within 90 runs. They won it by 8 wickets to become the 3rd placed team in the tournament.[8] Bowes was among the leading run-getters of the tournament.
