It is looking difficult for the Indians. First of all, they allowed the South Africans to reach an imposing total of 244. And while chasing they lost two wickets in quick succession. And that too of two of their best batsmen - Adarsh Singh and Musheer Khan. Arshin Kulkarni and Uday Saharan are at the crease now, facing off against Kwena Maphaka and Tristan Luus. At this point, South Africa has a clear upper hand in this match, and it will take a Herculanean effort from some of the Indian batsmen to win this match and enter the final.

India U 19 winning the toss in first semi final and decided to bowl first that a good decision. india U 19 restricted the South Africa U19 under 250 runs.  South Africa U19 team played well but they all out in just 244 runs. This target is possible dueto batting performance of Pretorius by scoring 72 runs in 102 balls. India U19 bowlings performance is outstanding especially R. Limbani who bowl well picked 3 important wickets by giving 60 runs. If India U19 bat well they have chance to qualify for final of U19 world cup.

In today's match between India U19 and South Africa U19, India won the toss but elected to field first. I still can't say it was a good decision by them as they have already lost two wickets for 11 runs when they batted. When India U19 team invited South Africa U19 team to bat first, they came to bat and scored 244 runs for 7 wickets. It's a big score in a game like the semi-final because the pressure on both the teams involved will be high. Maybe that pressure is affecting the Indian team today because we have seen them play very well before but today match their wickets started to fall from the start.

After having satisfactory performance in two ODIs, West Indies team had a flop third ODI. The whole team got out in 25th over and only 3 players were able to make it to double figure. Australians finished the match in 7th over.
Xavier Bartlett has just played 2 ODIs and in both games he picked 4 wickets. He is not part of squad for T20 world cup but defiantly got attention of the selectors for upcoming tours.
West Indies levelled the test series and it was expected that they will win at least one ODI but its a 3-0 victory for Australians. Next we have three T20Is coming up.   

Third match, Australia won the toss and first decided bowling. West indies batsman makes 12 run in 2 over and Australia no any wicket against west indies batsman. This is the good started for west indies batsman. Australia bowler out the west indies batsman in the fivth ball of the 3 over. This is the first achievement for Australia team. West indies batsman makes 36 run in 10 over and 1 out. West indies batsman are not working hard and struggle and can not make run. Once time again Australia bowler out the West indies batsman in the third ball of the 11 over. This is the second achievement for Australia team. West indies batsman makes 86 run. This is the target for Australia batsman. This is the very easy target for Australia batsman. Australia batsman can complete this target and won the match.

In the first u-19 Semi finals, Proteas seamers simply bullying the Indian top order with pace. Bouncer after after, they are all over them and not giving an inch.

That is a good sign for South Africa's cricket setup, not many exciting batters are coming but at least they will find more speedsters for the national team.

The batting lineup of the India U-19 team was defeated by the good bowling of the South Africa U-19 team. With the passage of time, the wickets of the Indian 19 teams are constantly falling and they have already lost four wickets out of 37 runs.Out of which three wickets were taken by South Africa's young fast bowler Tristan luus. In today's match India U19 team lost one wicket for zero runs who got out for 0 runs is Adarsh Singh. Basically from there, the batting disaster of India U19 team started in today's match.

Looks as if it is all over for India. They are 33/4 after 12 overs, and they still need another 212 runs. Tristan Luus has picked up 3 wickets till now, and Kwena Maphaka has picked up the wicket of Adarsh Singh. Uday Saharan is still there, along with Sachin Dhas. But now it is an uphill task for the Indians. Apart from Maphaka and Luus, the Proteas have quality pacers like Nqobani Mokoena and Riley Norton. At this point, I would say that the final match of this tournament will be played between the hosts (South Africa) and Australia.

Won't count them out just yet, despite top order fumble.

Uday Saharan and Sachin Dhas are good with the bat so there is a possibility that both of these guys could stitch a match defining partnership. Proteas Pace attack is a challenge for sure but not sure how their spinners are (if there are any lol).

India was at troubled 32/4
But now India 107/4 ...In fact, a big partnership here will ensure that the India final is quite the task Sachin Das and Uday are able to recall.
But anytime South Africa Under 19 manage to break this partnership then it will be tough for India to win the match. However, almost everyone in the U-19 team can bat well, so it is not possible to predict anything with certainty until the all-out.

India U19 vs South Africa U19

The first semi-final match of this year's U-19 World Cup will be held tomorrow. In the first semi-final of the U19 World Cup, India U19 team and South Africa U19 team are facing each other. India U19 reached the semi-finals as group champions and they faced South Africa's. South Africa U19 very well as they also won most of the matches. There will be a lot of pressure on both teams in tomorrow's match as they have already reached the semi-finals. The team that wins tomorrow will directly reach the finals and the losers will be eliminated from the tournament.

India won the toss and choose to bowl first. Looks like a good decision as they have got 2 wickets already. They haven't lost a single match in the tournament because of food batting. The bowling has been impressive as both seamers and spinners have been successfull in breaking the partnership. I have feeling that they would be able to defeat South Africa in the semifinals.

India U 19 winning the toss in first semi final and decided to bowl first that a good decision. india U 19 restricted the South Africa U19 under 250 runs.  South Africa U19 team played well but they all out in just 244 runs.

The South Africa batsmen did not give such a specific target. If their bowler work hard and struggle and get wickets then this target is also a huge target.The India bowler did not work so hard and struggle. But they could win they did and stop the run. Otherwise the target would have been 300 and their batsmen might not have been able to meet that target. Now let see if India batsmen can achieve this target or not.  The South Africa bowlers must work hard and struggle and put pressure on their batsmen. Then they can win the match or they can lose.

South Africa U19 put up a decent score, but they could've added 20-30 more runs to make it even better. Their bowlers started strong, but Indian batters gradually took control. Despite losing four wickets early on, the Indian team seems to have recovered well. Uday Saharan and Sachin Dhas are building a solid partnership, which could lead India to victory and secure their spot in the final.

India U19 vs South Africa U19

The first semi-final match of this year's U-19 World Cup will be held tomorrow. In the first semi-final of the U19 World Cup, India U19 team and South Africa U19 team are facing each other.

First semifinals match has been started few hours ago and we have south Africa scored 244 in lose of 7 wickets while batting first. Now while chasing at start indian team lose his most of important batter before adding any significant contribution to total board in such terrible condition and at that time I taught now things are out of thier reach because mostly thier top order scored which definitely reaslse as much as possible pressure from rest of the batters. But surprisingly now thier middle order took change hold thier wickets and make impactful partnership which put indian team on track to finals. Now any dismissal will damage them huge because thier required run rate is still low and new batter will took time so things will become more worst for them. Anyway still indian team in game and I am sure they be victorious

Despite losing four wickets early on, the Indian team seems to have recovered well. Uday Saharan and Sachin Dhas are building a solid partnership, which could lead India to victory and secure their spot in the final.

South Africa U19 put India U19 under pressure early on but India overcame that pressure and are now on the brink of victory. The way India's wickets started falling in the beginning, many thought that India might be going to lose this match but from there India turned around.Uday Saharan and Sachin Das led the Indian U19 team in today's match India U19 team is on the verge of victory today. Sachindas was dismissed for 96 runs in this match but Uday Saharan is still unbeaten on 74 runs for India needing 19 runs from 18 balls.

[JSRAW]

What a classy chase and it turned out to be a thriller.

Before WC this Indian u-19 squad was considered weak in comparison to previous u-19 squads but still, they reached the finals. I knew Uday Saharan and Sachin Dhas were good but wasn't sure because the Proteas bowling unit is strong and led by Kwena Maphaka. For some reason, Indian skipper Uday Saharan reminds me of Virat Kohli, not in terms of his batting skill but this kid wears his heart on his sleeves. Not afraid of shittalk and eager to get into the opposition's head.

[Insanity]

In today's 1st Semi-Final match of India U19 vs South Africa U19 team, India U19 team won the match by 2 wickets. The performance of the batsmen of India U19 team was very good for me. India U19 team played much better in today's match than the previous match. I think. South Africa  The U19 team had a bad day today with the bowling line and the bowling line.

In today's match between India U19 and South Africa U19, India won the toss but elected to field first. I still can't say it was a good decision by them as they have already lost two wickets for 11 runs when they batted. When India U19 team invited South Africa U19 team to bat first, they came to bat and scored 244 runs for 7 wickets. It's a big score in a game like the semi-final because the pressure on both the teams involved will be high. Maybe that pressure is affecting the Indian team today because we have seen them play very well before but today match their wickets started to fall from the start.

India is in the way of Semi-Final and they will see Pakistan Under 19 or Australia Under 19 team and by the way, the Indian team didn't lose any match and in the recent World Cup India also didn't lose any match but lost the final with Australia and Australia is also on the second semi-final, and the second semi-final is between Pak and Aus U19 so you can relate that on 2021 Pakistan team didn't lose any match but lose semi-final against Australia and this time again Pakistan didn't lose any match and meet with Australia at Semi-Final, and in the both ways of Pakistan records and Indian team records Australia had good because first they will win semi and then final as previous records.

[Compromise me]

The last match of today's ODI series between Australia and West Indies is just 41 minutes away from the start. Australia team will not have to take much pressure for today's match. Because the Australian team won the previous two matches, and secured the series by winning the two matches. But this match is not important for Australia but this match is somewhat important for the West Indies team to save the honor. If West Indies win this last match today. Then their honor can be saved to some extent. In today's match I decided to change the team for betting.  In this last match I am prepared to bet for West Indies instead of Australia. Hope West Indies will do something good to save their honor against Australia in this final match today.

I understand why the West Indies team would want to win the final match against Australia to save their honor. But it is important to know that the result of this match won't affect the overall series because Australia has already won the previous two matches. Betting on the West Indies team just because they want to save their honor might not be the best choice because Australia has been stronger in the series. It's possible for any team to do well on a certain day but it's smart to think about how both teams have been performing before making any bets. By the way Australia is still looking more strong as compare to West Indies team.

Australia won the 3rd series, This match was surprising and interesting. Australia beat West Indies by 86 runs to win brilliantly. West Indies' run target was achieved in just 6 overs, which was the brilliant performance of Australia's bowling. Australia used their bowling attack in the best way and did not allow the West Indies players to do anything. In this match, the Australian bowlers gave a wonderful performance, especially X Bartlett he took 4 wickets by giving 21 runs in 7 overs and A Zampa and Morris both took 2 ,2 wickets.

Finally Indian won thier semifinals and head into final of U19 ODI World Cup 2023, to be honest it's not any easy journey for any team to qualify into the final but indian team done after alot of hardel and determination. It's true that at one stage while chasing they almost chocked and lose thier way at the time where they lose third top order wickets who has mostly  big impact in many Match but they way thier lower middle order not only Handel things in such pressure situation but hold thier wickets long and build brilliant partnership which put his team track and I think that the Turing point of India to get into the final because without such important partnership they are already out of the tournament at such start stage. Anyway a big congratulations to indian team for thier master blaster victory at such important stage

[ZAINmalik75]

Totally surprised by West Indies game today, can't understand what they are playing. How badly a team performs can be all out for just 86 runs in an ODI match. A West Indies player has reached the three-figure mark. All the rest did not reach the double digit quota of players even though four of their team's players were dismissed for no runs.

I think the results were expected and there is nothing to be surprised because Australia are far far ahead team compared to them and according to thier previous two matches results at same were it was expected that they gonna lose the third and last match of the series and allow thier opponent to White wash the series like dominant it from one side. Anyway at my mind thier defeat were confirmed but with not at such margin because they don't event hit a three digit target which is really shameful and the main things is that still they have more than 25 overs left before they lose his entire wickets and that's things indicate how bad thier batting line-up is and bad they can collapse at any critical situation. Anyway west indies should celebrate his victory against Australia at test series instead of this series defeat regret because it such a huge achievement for any team to beat Australia at thier home grounds

I will give these two batsmen one of the main contribution behind India U19 reaching the final because if these two batsmen Uday Saharan 81/124balls and Sachin Das 96/95balls could not have performed then there is no chance of India U19 reaching the final in tomorrow's match.There was no possibility. India U19's bowling performance was good enough but if the batting is not good there is a high chance of missing the final. On the other hand, South Africa U19 team's performance was good enough but the failure of Uday Saharan and Sachin Das to break the partnership was identified as one of the main reasons for the defeat in this match.

Congratulations India Under 19s team for winning this wonderful game in semi final with opponent South Africa under 19s team. Next game of this series played one day mean 8 February. In today game, India under 19s team won toss and they took opportunity to take first bat or bowl and India under 19s team decided field first in this game. South Africa batting lineup effort was good and South Africa team set 244 runs in 50 overs by losing 7 wickets this target was not small. But South Africa team lost this game by 2 wickets and 7 balls. South Africa team gave very tough time to India team in bowling lineup. U.Sharan got a medal of player of game award due to made high runs in this game. U.Saharan scored 81 runs in 124 balls with six 4s and S.Dhas also deserved player of game medal because he also played very well and scored 96 runs in 95 balls with eleven 4s and one 6s. Second semi final played between Pakistan and Australia team I think Pakistan team win this second semi final game.
