Congratulations to the Pakistan team for qualifying for the semi-finals.

Now, we will see Pakistan vs Australia Under 19 team in the Semi-Final, and if you knew so in the 2021 World Cup in Sharjah cricket stadium when all the players did their best but at the end Pakistan player Hassan Ali dropped the catch and after dropping this catch on Shaheen's ball. Shaheen got 3 sixes by Wade and the Pakistan team lost the Semi-Final, and that match Muhammad Rizwan played in a very dangerous injury and even he could also die but he still played. He was on the ventilator and the doctor said if you play so you can also die but Rizwan said if I die so I will die for country.

Even though I am a Bangladeshi citizen, I support Pakistan a lot especially when Pakistan faces a difficult situation in a big series or World Cup, I feel very bad for myself. 2023 World Cup looked very bad for Pakistan but overall performance was not bad for Pakistan. I like quite a few Pakistani batsmen especially Rizwan is one of my favorite cricketers. Such patriotism really moves the heart very deeply inside Rizwan.

In tomorrow's under 19 match between Bangladesh and Pakistan, I wish Pakistan to qualify for the semi-final in a competitive match. I was a supporter of Bangladesh in yesterday's match but had to finish with a sad heart after losing by five runs. Although Bangladesh had a golden chance in front of them Kalke missed that golden opportunity. I hope that Pakistan will play the final in this year's U-19 World Cup.

Yes, the probability of West Indies cricket team losing in today's match is very high. West Indies cricket team has lost 9 wickets so far. West Indies cricket team collected 169 runs after losing 9 wickets. Now the last hope of the West Indies cricket team are these two batsmen, Motie and Oshane Thomas. If these two batsmen who are now in the bat can try to stay strong at the crease and turn the game around.  Then West Indies cricket team may still have a chance to win.

Josh Inglis the vice-captain of the West Indies team was also out by Joseph and after taking this wicket he did the celebration of Shoaib Ahktar that he did after taking the wicket.

In this ball, he also did an out-swing and Josh Inglis was in the mood to hit a cover drive or extra cover but before this ball keeper asked the fielder to move there to here and he followed the keeper's decision and after this ball he was out. The fielder's name is Chase and Chase is chasing the ball to catch it and he did it. Joseph is the killer of the first two wickets.

Australia vs West Indies  Second ODI

It was great opportunity for West Indies team to win the second ODI and level the series but they were not successful in doing that. West Indies not only lot the second ODI but the series also. It was great bowling from West Indies side after they decided to bowl after winning the toss. Australian top order was not able to score much but great support lower down the order from Marnus Labuschagne, Short, Hardie and Abbott. Australians bowlers never allowed West Indies batters to settle and whole team got out on just 175 runs.

[Bureau]

As expected the West Indies team were not that good to challenge the Australians. They bowled well whereas they batted badly or it might be that the Australians were bowling above average. Unless West Indies work on their batting they will continue to lose ODI and for a fact they did not have their star bowler, a bowler who was able to get a win in test format in Australia after 27 years.

[Nalain420]

Australia team collected 258 runs last stage players performed very well. Fall of wickets from the beginning of the game the team was under a lot of pressure, Abbott has done enough for the team as he scored the best runs today. Abbott scored 69 off 63 balls to bring up his maiden half-century in today's match, and the other players did not score as many runs. Meanwhile, the West Indies team's batting performance has been miserable since the beginning. If Keacy Carty and Roston Chase can perform well then West Indies team is sure to win. The West Indies team's run collection so far is 108 runs from 28 overs and 4 wickets.

Today match is the between west indies and Australia. West indies won the toss and first decided bowling. West indies bowler out the Australia batsman in the fivth ball of the 1 over. This is the first achievement for west indies team. This is the bad started for Australia batsman. Australia batsman makes 15 run in 2 over and 1 out. Once time again west indies bowler out the Australia batsman in the last ball of the 3 over. This is the second achievement for west indies team. Australia batsman makes 61 run in 10 over and 3 out. Australia batsman are working hard and struggle and make run. Australia batsman makes 258 run in 50 over and 9 outs. This is the target for west indies batsman. This is the good target. West indies batsman can not complete this target and lose the match.

Australia vs West Indies  Second ODI

It was great opportunity for West Indies team to win the second ODI and level the series but they were not successful in doing that.

Yeh it's true that west indies missed out a vital opportunity to level the series but unfortunately they unable to manage such things and as a result not only lose the second match of the series but lose the series by 2-0 and If they even comback at last match it will be not worthy for them, At first I taught they gonna comback after defeat in first ODI just like they comback in test series with a vital contribution of new deadliest bowler shamer but I think collapse in thier top order really push them down because if they set momentum with significant partnership then rest of batters will able to make decent contribution with any pressure. Anyway congratulations to Australia for another series win on thier home ground

It was great bowling from West Indies side after they decided to bowl after winning the toss. Australian top order was not able to score much but great support lower down the order from Marnus Labuschagne, Short, Hardie and Abbott. Australians bowlers never allowed West Indies batters to settle and whole team got out on just 175 runs.

Yes, West Indies had enough chances to win the match today. But the West Indies bowlers bowled well enough today. But they lost today due to failure of West Indies batsmen. No West Indies batsman could score a half century today, Keacy Carty batted well today getting out for 40 runs. West Indies batsmen need to improve their batting line otherwise they will not win the next match. Australia won the series by winning the first and second matches. Congratulations to the Australian team.

Sean Abbott from Australia played too well, he made 69 runs and took 3 wickets also. At the same time he was involved in two brilliant catches that he took and was the player of the match. Australia won this match easily because none of the West Indies batsmen tried to stay on the crease and make runs.

As expected the West Indies team were not that good to challenge the Australians. They bowled well whereas they batted badly or it might be that the Australians were bowling above average. Unless West Indies work on their batting they will continue to lose ODI and for a fact they did not have their star bowler, a bowler who was able to get a win in test format in Australia after 27 years.

Shai Hope, the captain of the West Indies ODI team was a very good player before this series, they had a series against England, and at that time, the England team was on a tour of the West Indies, on that tour Shai Hope played very well in ODI but in this series, Shai Hope's performance is exactly opposite than his previous matches, he take ODI to test in today's match, it seems like he wanted to play Test. Maybe, it can be a cause of different pitches he was chasing a target so he should play fast, if he gave a target so it's done but he was chasing and he is the best player so he should play on any pitch.

Australia vs West Indies  Second ODI

Australian team won the match by 82  run. West West indies scored only 175 runs and all team out in 43 overs, no batsman played well and didn't set a good score to establish a good target on score board.

West Indies 8 batsmans connot enter in double figures and only one batsman played good which is Carty made 40 runs in  52 balls. From Australian bowling line up, S. Abbott took 3 wickets  by giving 40 runs in 10 overs, Hazlewood  he also took 3  wickets by giving 43  runs in 8 overs , Sutherland took 2 wickets by giving 28 runs in 8 overs.

Today one more match of ICC Under 19s World Cup competition is ongoing on crease which is playing between Pakistan U19 squad against Bangladesh U19 squad. Pakistan U19 squad was started this match firstly batting inning by calling of Bangladesh U19 squad. I feel that Pakistan U19 squad is facing very critical situation and there is lots of pressure on their bowlers because Pakistan U19 squad bowler are not able to stop Bangladesh U19 squad batter for defending their target. In batting inning performance of Pakistan U-19 squad was also very bad and they did not collect challenge defeating target just 155 scores and all batters gone in 40.4 overs. Now Bangladesh U19 sqaud displayed their batting inning performance on crease and Bangladesh U19 squad almost defeated 123 scores and just 33 scores more for defeat in lot of others and then Bangladesh U19 squad emerge victory.

The match between U19 teams of Pakistan and Bangladesh has entered in an interesting phase. Bangladesh need 32 runs in 20 overs and they have only 2 wickets in hand. Bangladesh have lots of balls left to chase the target, they just have not many wickets left. Pakistan bowlers have done a good job after a poor display from there batting side. Odds were in favour of Bangladesh but at the moment they are slightly more in favour of Pakistan. Two new batsmen are at the crease and they will be under huge pressure for sure.

9th down for Bangladesh and they now require 12 runs in 93 balls with only 1 wicket remaining. Even if they win from here, I believe it won't matter as the position is going to be decided through run rate and the Bangladeshi team has not much improvement than Pakistan. This means Bangladesh would be eliminated even if they win.
The game had been a low scoring one with the target of 156 given by Pakistan easily achievable and things were looking comfortable for the Bangla team in the first 10 over of their batting. But than the wicket kept falling and none of the batsmen could remain on the crease for long. Ubaid shah having an impressive 5 wicket haul.

Bad luck for Bangladesh team. Bangladesh did a good bowling performance today to keep Pakistan within a few runs, but Bangladesh could not put up a good batting performance and they lost today with very few run. Bangladesh came down to play the target of 156 runs given by Pakistan and managed to score 155 runs by losing wickets very quickly as a result of which Bangladesh had to be defeated by Pakistan by only 5 runs. Although there are many simple equations for the Bangladesh team to survive in the semi-finals, the Bangladesh U19 team cannot fulfill that simple equation. Today I expected from the beginning that Bangladesh can beat Pakistan to win even though it was easy but Bangladesh had to lose in the last.

Sometimes even simple matches become complicated. For example, the same thing happened in today's match between Bangladesh U19 team and Pakistan U19 team. The entire cricketing world thought that Bangladesh U19 team could easily win against Pakistan U19 team. But instead, the opposite happened. In today's match, Bangladesh U19 team bowlers created many chances to win. But the batsmen of Bangladesh U19 team failed to use that opportunity. If the batsmen of Bangladesh U19 team tried to play with a cool head. Then Bangladesh U19 team could have easily won this match. Bangladesh Under 19 team batsmen can never avoid responsibility for the defeat of today's match.

The match between Bangladesh U19 team vs Pakistan U19 team that took place and finally broke the hearts of everyone who watched the match and among them were Bangladeshi fans. If the game had ended earlier and if Pakistan U19 team had won earlier then maybe the fans would not have suffered so much but the last wicket fell after being very close to victory and with the fall of the last wicket Bangladesh's dream of semi-final match ended. The target for Bangladesh was limited so there was no need for Bangladesh to be in such a hurry. The way Bangladesh U19 bowled and the way they kept Pakistan within a few runs, we thought maybe Bangladesh would win and secure the semi-final, but it didn't happen.

Australia vs West Indies  Second ODI

Australian team won the match by 82  run. West West indies scored only 175 runs and all team out in 43 overs, no batsman played well and didn't set a good score to establish a good target on score board.

West Indies 8 batsmans connot enter in double figures and only one batsman played good which is Carty made 40 runs in  52 balls. From Australian bowling line up, S. Abbott took 3 wickets  by giving 40 runs in 10 overs, Hazlewood  he also took 3  wickets by giving 43  runs in 8 overs , Sutherland took 2 wickets by giving 28 runs in 8 overs.

The difference is that West Indies sent their regular squad, while Australian side consisted mostly of bench players. For Australia, Jake Fraser-McGurk and Will Sutherland made their debut today. More than half of the players were not part of the ODI World Cup squad. And even more surprisingly, it was no.8 batsman Sean Abbott who top-scored for Australia with 69 runs. West Indies bowlers were a disappointment, apart from Gudakesh Motie. And while chasing, West Indian batting lineup was destroyed by Hazlewood, Abbott and Sutherland.

[JSRAW]

^^ Forget about the Aussie squad for a sec as BIG-3 almost always takes white ball bilateral as an audition for new players.

I am more surprised about the fact that Australia packed their summer with a full Windies tour. 2 tests, 3 ODI and 3 T-20, not sure when was the last time they were so generous for any lower ranking team.

It's because of Sean Abbott 69 runs that Aussies were able to score 258 runs and played there full 50 overs. West Indies bowling was quite satisfactory but there batting was another failure. Wickets for all 5 Aussie bowlers that are used today. Sean Abbott was also most successful bowler with 3 wickets. From West Indies side Keacy Carty was highest run scorer with 40 runs. 258 is very small target and WIindies must have chased that.

The way Bangladesh U19 bowled and the way they kept Pakistan within a few runs, we thought maybe Bangladesh would win and secure the semi-final, but it didn't happen.

There is no doubt this is heartbroken defeat for the Bangladesh specially after having target like 155 which was achievable with impressive bowling give them fair chance for the jumping into last four but their batting and Pakistani amazing bowling bring into this game, and now they need to learn from their mistakes with having to improve their quality and performance for the future because these youngsters can do much better in the future.

From here we can predict with most chances we will have final between Australia vs India because these both are having good teams with good bowling and batting giving them good advantage while Pakistani batting is having problems which are giving them disadvantage and South Africa is also having some problems while they will face India.

The pitch was not batting friendly. So the players of both the teams are facing problems to score runs. Australia's top order players cannot bat well. Australia lost 5 important top order batsmen to collect 91 runs. If the West Indies bowlers could have controlled bowling, Australia would not have scored even 200 today. However, responsible batting by Labuschagne, SHort, Hardie and Abbott gave Australia a decent target of 259 runs. It was quite a big target considering the pitch. And obviously Australia won this match. Australia will probably win the ODI series 3-0.

Today there is no match of Under 19s World Cup and first semi final match will be played at 6 FEB which is India U19 squad against South Africa U19 squad and second semi final match is Australia U19 squad against Pakistan U19 sqaud hope we will see Final match in between India and Pakistan. But today, West Indies squad played second ODI match against Australia squad and this match was finished some time ago. West Indies squad had a great chance to get victory in this match and tied this competition with one by one match h but West Indies squad was unable to defeat 258 scores target and lost this match. West Indies squad just defeated 175 scores on crease and after this whole batter wickets was cleared out and Australia sqaud won this match. Sean Abbott collected 69 scores and most high scores in this match off 63 deliveries and also he wiped out three good batter wickets of West Indies squad.

Now it's good time for them to check performance of their bench player because they already achieve good results in this season in all formats and this is going to be good time for them to have things in tough while today Sean Abbot were all around first with bat then ball and catches as well which give Australia a solid win and then man of the match award for him.

West Indies done good job while they won second test but still long way to go for them if they are looking for back into international cricket because it could be not easy while they have no quality bowlers and batsmen which can give them good performance against quality teams in all formats.

[ZAINmalik75]

In yesterday's match, no one played well from Pakistan's batting line up and after seeing their batting we thought that Pakistan's progress in this World Cup is finished after this match, no Shamyl Hussain, no Shaziab, no Saad, no Azam, and no Ahmad Hassan played well, and if someone played well so these are the bowlers.

Anyway paksitan batting side faced an un expected disaster yesterday and for that reason most of their talent and in-form batter didn't manage to score at such crutical and vital situation. But thanks to shah's brother who always played a leading role in such pressure situation and to be honest through thier contribution paksitan not only get into the game but win the important match too.
Now tomorrow we have India vs south Africa which I believe India will won it easily but if we have a look at paksitan opponent which is one the top and toughest side of every world Cup and I am sure they will brutally damage paksitan team. But if paksitan batter played decetly and scored big and then some firey bowling get thier early important wickets then it will be another India vs Pakistan which will get recited breaking view again and I really wish this to happen

I agree with you Pakistan batting side had a bad time in the last match which was a problem. But Shah's brother played an important role in helping Pakistan recover and win the game.
And we know that the World Cup is now going in Semifinals round. The next match between India and South Africa is coming up. India is a really good team and people think they will win easily. But we can't underestimate the South Africa team because this is the semifinal and anything can happen. So let's see what will be happened?

The third ODI match of the ODI series between Australia and West Indies i.e. the last match of the ODI series will be held tomorrow.We saw the Australian team win the first test match to lead the series and then West Indies dramatically won the second test match by just 8 runs. This resulted in a drawn Test series between West Indies and Australia.

But after that the ODI series between West Indies and Australia is being held where Australia has already secured the series win by winning the first two matches. Tomorrow the last match will be played between the two teams now it is to be seen which of these two teams will win this last match. If Australia win then West Indies will be whitewashed in this series as Australia have already won two matches.
