Afghanistan seriously underperformed in the 2nd ODI shattering my expectations from them after their awesome fightback in the first ODI. They desperately need players like Rashid and Mujeeb in their lineup.

Sri Lanka were excellent with both the bat and ball and their future looks a bit more promising now across all formats.

Afghanistan is unpredictable side which is having big impact due to recent few changes and now their mostly players are love to play in Franchise leagues instead of playing for the country which is also having problems for them which need to be settled in first game after conceding huge target their batsmen give good performance but now in second ODI they were badly out and down which is surely miserable, but now it's all gone they are conceding huge targets which are surely matter of problem for their quality spin bowling.

I am not hopefully for their better future in this game until they are going to fix their issues which are preventing their quality players to play for the country because this is more important right now for them.

India was unable to actually make any big partnerships throughout the whole link. And just to be clear, we are talking about the under-19 cricket. I expected a better performance from India in this match. Australia was able to win the Under 19 World Cup final without much trouble in the end. It feels like the senior team's World Cup final once again. India had all the chances and everyone was also rooting for India. But in the end, it was Australia who were able to win the cup.

Losing in such a big tournament has been the fate of the Indian team. We saw India and Australia face each other in the 2023 World Cup and in the same U19 World Cup India U19 team and Australia U19 team met. But one thing is right in U19 World Cup Australia U19 team became champion while in 2023 ODI World Cup Australia beat India and became champions. India has repeatedly lost to Australia in the finals of major tournaments.

We did not expect such a performance from the India U19 team in the final match, as they had shown a good performance throughout the tournament. India U19 team could have performed better than expected but they may have been nervous for which they could not do that. Australia U19 won the match very easily as India U19 scored less runs in the match and won the 2024 U19 World Cup.

The IndiaU19 team performed poorly in the final matches, although they performed very well in the previous matches, they could not score many runs under the batting and bowling pressure of the AustraliaU19 team. And there was such a gap after the fall of the wicket in the beginning that only 174 runs were managed. And the IndiaU19 team lost to the AustraliaU19 team by 79 runs in the last moment.

In India U19 vs Australia U19, Final match today, Australia U19 won by 79 runs. It sounds world cup history get repeated one again. Australia U19 opt to Bat and all of them performed incredibly amazing. Most of batsman wrere about to done their half century as well as they had impressive Strike Rate. Raj Limbani hunted 3 wickets with his skillful bolwers and Australia stopped at 253 runs. And then India U19 came to bat. Most of indian players out with fews runs maybe to due to over pressure for Australia target! Adarsh Singh was keep playing slowing, so for Murugan Abhishek too. Bad luck for today Australia U19 won the match

Barely defeating Pakistan in semifinal and dominating unbeaten team India in final, well done Australia.

Right, Australia deafted pakistan in first semi final by just 1 wicket but today in final match Australia dominating performance against indian team. Australia just need 2 more wickets to won the final game india has lost his top 8 wickets 136/8. Australia is top class team in men's and U19 team they won this world cup final by huge margin against Indian.

If the Australian team qualifies for the final or semi-final so no possibility can be happen that Australia will lose. In cricket history, Australia is the team who never been named as runner-up in finals.
The Australian team is a very strong team no doubt it's Under 19, test,  T20, or ODI.

It feels like the senior team's World Cup final once again. India had all the chances and everyone was also rooting for India. But in the end, it was Australia who were able to win the cup.

Everything went in favour of Australia today. First they won the toss and there batting lineup produced a good total. Indian bowlers were not able to pick wickets regularly and that allowed Australian batting to settle. We saw that target over 250 is difficult to chase in U19 cricket and Australians kept this thing in there mind. Indian batting was under pressure today and no batmen was able to play a lengthy inning that is required to win the final. 

Australia defeated India in 50 over Mens Odi world cup. Now again in this U-19 Tournament. All Indians are really heartbroken after this match. Indian team was out of form from the semi final match onwards. Due to their captain only, they won their semi final match, else India could have knocked out in the semi final only. Moreover the bowling was not so impressive and batting was the worst. Hope next time India will win both the worldcups.

In this final, Indian batsmen played so poorly just as they played at the World Cup 2023 final, and this loss of India is very similar to the original loss. Musheer Khan came on the third number and Virat Kohli also came at third number but when Musheer Khan was out by Beardman so it same stand as Virat Kohli and in final Virat Kohli stood after wicket that Pat Cummins took, and the walk of Pat Cummins after wicket is just looking like Beardman in today's match, and on that time, leg-stump was hitten and this time again leg stump was hit. After that wicket, India needs to understand their loss and why is that they fail to perform in the finals recently.

This is showing that in both teams means the main International team and the Under Nineteens team are little weak as compare to Australian teams. I was thinking that India U19 will take revenge of the ICC World Cup final. But they performed very poorly. And Australia U19 team won the final match with a huge margin.
Yes the pressure of the Final match interfered therefore the Indian players got out quickly. By the way congratulations to Australia U19 team on their winning of Final match.

[libert19]

India U19 team could have performed better than expected but they may have been nervous for which they could not do that.

I tend to agree, with teams like India or SA, it has become more of psychological thing, despite having skills to perform good they underperform.

There is saying, "with confidence half the battle is won" — when big stakes are involves there are teams like Australia who are rather confident in their strength, look how they played against semis when 9 wickets were fallen against Pakistan, or look at Cummins and Maxwell's history making partnership in ODIWC against Afghanistan, they know how to perform under pressure, nothing is perfect and there are definitely exceptions in Australia's performances too but most of times they do perform good.

Indian team needs some mental coaching too aside from physical.

Sri Lanka were excellent with both the bat and ball and their future looks a bit more promising now across all formats.

Sri Lanka performed very well in the series between Afghanistan and Sri Lanka.Sri Lanka have so far played two ODIs against Afghanistan where they managed to score 300 plus runs in each match.Their batting lineup has improved a lot with most of their team now scoring runs and playing a vital role in Sri Lankan team's victory.
Afghanistan team has already lost the ODI series against Sri Lanka but they still have one match left in this series against Sri Lanka. In the second ODI too, Afghanistan's batting line-up was fragile as their team's top-order batsmen performed well but the middle-order and lower-order batsmen performed very poorly.

It's really difficult and disappointing moments for indian fans because same opponent defeat them at same format and at same world cup stage beat them twice, first at men's world Cup final 2023 and now this under 19 boys too. No doubt indian side has much quality player but the things is the unable to hold thier nerves and control pressure in especially playing last stage of any Competition and that things put them in big big trouble. Anyway I am really impressed by Australian team performance at any competition because when ever they qualified to final they won and that's thier history and the special things is they continue it from long time and that things give them extra confidence while facing any opponents. Anyway a big congratulations to Australia for winning two consecutive world cup at same year

In the second ODI too, Afghanistan's batting line-up was fragile as their team's top-order batsmen performed well but the middle-order and lower-order batsmen performed very poorly.

Sri Lankan batsmen are in very good form now, they scored 381 runs in the first match, and in today's match they scored 308 runs. Although the two openers did not bat well, every batsman in the middle order batted responsibly.

Sri Lanka set a big target of 382 runs in the first match but the match was competitive. Afghanistan team managed to collect 339 runs. But in today's match, Afghanistan's batting order broke down very quickly. The team managed to collect only 153 runs. Afghanistan team was defeated by a huge margin of 155 runs. Apart from Ibrahim Zadran and Rahmat Shah, none of the batsmen in the squad could score even 10 runs.

Congratulations to AUS under 19 won this final by 79 runs and champion of 50 overs under 19 world cup. India Under 19 performance throughout the tournament is very well but this important final they lost it by big runs. Man of the Match in final match of tournament Mahli Beardman from AUS-U19 for his match winning bowling performance took three wickets 3/15 in his spell and All out India Under 19 team to 174 runs in 44th over of the match.

Canada vs Nepal
Today's Match between Canada and Nepal, In today's match between Canada and Nepal Nepal won the toss and decided to bowl and I think their decision was right. They did not allow Canada to score much. Canada managed to score 232 runs for 8 wickets, I think this score is not very high as per ODI format.
And now Nepal has taken 197 runs after 38 overs losing just one wicket their current run rate is 5.18 and the required run rate is only 3. So this score tells who will win today. Anyway, Nepal's Canada tour was good as they are going to whitewash Canada in this ODI series.

The Indian Under 19 team lost yesterday's match. The Indian team had a personal fight with Australia because always Australia beat India. In this match, Mahli Beardman is the man of the match, and the player of this World Cup was also announced yesterday, he is from South Africa Kwena Maphaka took 21 wickets which was such a very great performance by him.

If you search on Google who is the land of batsmen so you will see India and when their batsmen had time to perform so they explained why we are cokers. Before them South African team was the Chokers but now slowly Indian team wants to become it.

Nepal chose to bowl first which was a good decision because it made it harder for Canada to score. Canada only scored 232 runs and lost 8 wickets which is not a very high score in ODI cricket match. This shows that Nepal strategy of bowling was effective. And now the Nepal has won the match by 9 wickets. Nepal played really well and now Nepal has won the series with 3-0.

Anil Shah collected 112 runs from 124 balls, Bhim Sharki collected 101 runs from 129 balls and the Nepal team won by 9 wickets at the last moment. Team Canada could not put up a good bowling performance, due to which Nepal team lost only 1 wicket. Nepal won three consecutive ODI matches but Canada did not.

Yesterday India-U19 Vs Australia-U19 looked similar to the Men's World Cup final of 2024. The Indian-U19 batting order failed similarly to the Indian men's team last year. It is hard to understand what went wrong, was losing the toss was a big factor, or whether Indian batters took the game as a normal match. These guys played so well in the tournament, but losing in the finals is unacceptable. A lot of these players could have made it into the national team which now after this loss would not be that easy for them. Congratulations to the Australia-U19 team for winning the cup once again.

One more competition Canada tour to Nepal was finished today and on this day, final match of this competition which was fight Nepal sqaud against Canada squad was closed. Nepal squad was playing impressive innings in previous matches and they also got a victory in previous two matches. In this match, again Nepal squad emerged victory with unbelievable performance and beated Canada squad very badly in all matches. Today, Canada squad collected 232 scores with lost of 8 batter wickets but their fielder and bowler did not secured their target and Nepal squad batter defeat all scored just lost one batter. Starter batter Kushal Bhurtel was not displayed real performance but next two batter made unbeatable batting partnership Bhim Sharki and Anil Sah. Bhim Sharki collected 101 scores off 129 deliveries and Anil Sah collected 112 scores after playing 124 deliveries.

In Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan second ODI match, Sri Lanka batted in the first innings and they scored 308 runs for the loss of 6 wickets. Sri Lanka team had a great win against Afghanistan in the first ODI match but it is doubtful whether they can win today's match. Although Afghanistan are batting well at the moment and they have lost only one wicket in the second innings. The two batsmen of the Afghanistan team, Ibrahim Zadran and Rahmat Shah, have formed a great partnership and both of them have already managed to score half-centuries. If Afghanistan can survive today's match, they will surely put up a good score and win the second match against Sri Lanka. And today's match is the most important for Afghanistan to win because if they don't win today's match then they won't be able to win the game. And if Afghanistan wins today's match against Sri Lanka, then there is a possibility that the game will be tied at 1-1.

Yesterday was the match of Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan and when we talk about this match was again a very good match for Sri Lanka. In the first match, their batsmen played very well and the batsmen were the names who picked their team to win but this time Bowlers said that they were also in the game, and today what fast and fast deliveries of balls were done by Sri Lankan bowlers.

This time Sri Lankan batsmen also played well but if we see the score so we just think about the bowlers. But we should not underestimate batsmen because batsmen gave runs too high so bowlers had a lead to the ball and a win credit goes to the whole but lose credit always go to a person.

Afghanistan were not even able to score the half runs that the Sri Lankan team put on the board. Sri Lanka made 308 runs and the Afghanistan team were all out on 153 runs and thus the Sri Lankan team won by 155 runs. It was a one sided match, not much enjoyable to watch such matches.
