ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

I will place Australia U19 team ahead of Pakistan U19 team because Australia U19 players perform much better than Pakistan players. If Australia want to win against U19 team Pakistan players must improve their quality they have to perform well in both batting and bowling otherwise they can never win the match against Australia. But the game of cricket is a game of uncertainty and nothing can be said in advance. However, if the performance of the players is good on the field, any team can win. Best wishes to both teams.

I don't think so. Australia is a strong U19 team. However, there is no opportunity to underestimate the Pakistan U19 team. This group is quite strong. However, the performance of the players is somewhat erratic. But I have seen quite a few talented players in the Pakistan squad.

I watched Pakistan's performance against New Zealand U19 team. Pakistan's batsmen and bowlers performed brilliantly in the match. New Zealand lost all their wickets for just 140 runs. And Pakistan collected 144 runs without losing a wicket. And so I can't say that Australia is the favorite in this match.

Yeh that are the point which make it more excited because both side are looking well balanced teams and it's difficult to pick any side of predict any team victory, as we know it's mainly depends on how they tackle pressure situation and how cool they can keep thier self in any trouble situation. I know most of people will predict Australian side victory but in my mind when ever Paksitani team got underestimated they mostly proved thier self how well they are and surprised each and everyone by huge margin victories. Anyway as a fan of Paksitani team I will support it at any situation either they win or loss but I believe we that we will have a great indopak match at world cup finals after long long time. But let suppose if paksitan unable to beat Australia then according to Australian cricket team history when every they moved to final they conquered it always.

In fact, the performance of the U19 team at all, you can not predict what a team will do when? Pakistan U-19 almost lost to Bangladesh U-19 but only for Bangladesh's bad luck as Pakistan defeated Bangladesh U-19 by just five runs in that match to secure the semi-final. Pakistan's batting performance that day was not favorable at all only because of Bangladesh's batting failure that day Bangladesh U19 team was defeated.
If they can give such an innings against Australia in today's match and overall performance is good then it is possible to beat Australia in today's match. Australia is not performing well at all especially in this U19 World Cup India has secured the final but if Pakistan can win the semi final today then India U19 is likely to face the final. Everything will depend on Pakistan's overall performance today. Not only should Pakistan improve their batting, but they also need to improve their bowling.

Today we have Australia vs Pakistan in semis, from the looks of it Australia looks a better team than Pakistan, If Aussies win here, this will give us India vs Australia in finale, could history repeat as men's wc where Aussies ruined the unbeaten streak of India in final? Let's see.

The thing is you know, the final is going to be played against India. The winner of this match is going to play against India in the finals. So everyone probably wants to see Australia lose this match because a lot of people want to see India versus Pakistan finale.

I don't think so, U-19 India vs Pakistan matches don't have that much hype as men's.

Wow combination!!
INDU19 Vs AUSU19 (Same as finale IND Vs AUS ,2023)
If AUS19 would win , that would be repeated as 2023 cup history.
If INDU19 would win , Then it will be an important revenge for India.

It looks like today's semi-final is very likely for Pakistan to lose. In that case, there is a high possibility that we will face India U19 and Australia U19 in the final.

AustraliaU19 Vs PakistanU19

PakistanU19 vs AustraliaU19 will be the most competitive game today. Because the team that can win today will enter the finals so today's competition will be the most difficult full game. Between these two teams I see AustraliaU19 team as stronger because AustraliaU19 team has young youth and experienced players. Whose bowling and batting performance is very good enough to attack any team. But comparatively PakistanU19 team is a little less strong, so I support AustraliaU19 as the stronger team in this match.

Tomorrow's Semi-Final will be won by Pakistan according to the previous, as Pakistan won 2006 Under 19 World Cup this was the last cup that Pakistan won in Under 19, this World Cup was won under Sarfraz Ahmed's captaincy, and before this Pakistan won also 2003 World Cup and on that time the captain is from Karachi and Sarfraz Ahmed is also from Karachi and the current captain of Pakistan Under 19 team Saad Baig is also from Karachi and the people of Karachi will never disappointed us.
Now, let's see what will happen this time will history walk with history or will broke the history.
All eyes on this semi final which will start in about 5 hours from now and will be played at Benoni.

There is  no reason to think that  Pakistan U19 and Australia U19 are  weak. Pakistan and Australia are  one of the two strongest teams in this year's U19 World Cup.

Pakistan  won all four matches in the  group stage. And they have dominated and won  almost every match. On the other  hand, the Australian team is also very strong. They were  unbeaten in the group stage matches. They performed  well in every match. As the players of both the teams are in good form. So it is very  difficult for me to select  a favorite team in this match. But I will be happy if I can watch India  vs Pakistan final.

Yes both the teams are one of the strongest teams in this U19 World Cup so far none of these two teams have lost a single match. You might be wrong Pakistan U19 have won five matches in total while Australia U19 team has won four matches and one match was no result which was Against West Indies U19.

There is a lot of tension between today's match between Pakistan 19 and Australia Under 19.Many say according to history Pakistan U19 team will win and many say Australia U19 team will win. I want to tell their intention that cricket never wins any team with history, the team that does well in the field will win that always happens. Similarly, in today's match, there is no doubt that the team which will perform well in batting and bowling will win today.

I was checking the odds for the upcoming U19 World Cup second semifinal and found that Australia is the favorite and not Pakistan. It's kind of odd as both teams have played well in the tournament up till now. They both have a chance to win the semifinals but why bookies think Australia has the upper hand is unknown to me. I think like the first semifinals we will enjoy the second semifinals and if any of them wins they will play in the finals against India.

After the today's Under 19 semi final, from tomorrow, we will get another series to watch which is the series about Afghanistan and Sri Lanka, before this series, a tour match was played between these two teams that were won by Sri Lanka and the Afghanistan team lost it in a very bad way, but on that tour match Afghanistan player Ibran Zadran played very well and from Sri Lanka Dinesh Chandimal and Angelo Mathews hit a century against Sri Lankan team.

Now, come to the original series, and this series will start tomorrow at Pallekele, all matches of these ODIs will be played at Pallekele. At this time, the Sri Lankan team doesn't final their squad but Afghanistan told and the best players from Afghanistan are Mueeb Ur Rehman and Muhammad Nabi, and in batting Ibaram Zadran.

How do you know that Australia is not the favorite Pakistan when checking the reflection of the upcoming second semi-final of the upcoming U19 World Cup.I don't know why you are calling Australia as favorite but if we look at the style of play and performance of both teams in this tournament then both teams are in same place. So far three teams have not lost a single match in this U19 World Cup tournament, those three teams are India U19 team and Pakistan U19 team and Australia U19 team.Among these three teams, India U19 has already reached the final.Now the two teams who are undefeated so far in this tournament are going to face each other today.

I think like the first semifinals we will enjoy the second semifinals and if any of them wins they will play in the finals against India.

Yes we also want the second semi-final to be as exciting as the first semi-final and we enjoy that. But it is decided that the team that wins the second semi-final will face India in the final as the India U19 team has already reached the final first.

Bookies consider Australia as the favorite in this match. I think bookies are considering Australia U19 as favorites in this match as Australia team can almost always perform well in the knockout rounds. But I decided to bet on the win of Pakistan U19 team. I will benefit if Pakistan wins.

Australia U19 won the toss and took the fielding decision. Pakistan's top order will definitely have to play well today if they want to win. Pakistan's two openers in particular are very talented. If these two batsmen get off to a good start, Pakistan will be able to provide a big target today.

[elevates]

The match started and Australia won the toss, they chose to bowl first. Pakistan not utilizing the first power play as they have only 25 runs after the 8th over. Good thing that they haven't lost any wickets as both openers are taking their time to set. Australian bowling has been very tight they are not giving any openings to the Pakistani batters. I am not sure why both the openers are not even taking any singles. At this rate, they will come under pressure and commit mistakes which might result in the fall of a wicket.

Edit: Pakistan lose their first wicket.

[cozytrade]

ICC Under-19 World Cup semi-final 2 matches have started. Pakistan U19 vs Australia U19 in this match. Today's match is very important for both the teams to qualify for the finals. In this semi-final match Australia U19 won the toss and chose to bowl first. Australia Under 19 team has finished bowling 8 overs so far. But Australia U19 bowlers have not shown anything good so far. The two opening batsmen of the Pakistan U19 team are playing the balls of the bowlers of the Australia U19 team very well. Pakistan U19 team's score so far is 25 runs for no loss in 8 overs. It is expected that the players of Pakistan U19 team will be able to get the opportunity to play the final match through their excellent performance in this semi-final match today.

[elevates]

Another wicket is gone for Pakistan, both openers are now out. This is what happens when you don't take singles the pressure gets built up. Both were neither hitting the ball nor trying to place it for a quick single. A bad start by Pakistan they would now need a good aggressive partnership to increase the current run rate. The current run rate is below 4 which is bad in 50 overs game. I can see why the Australian team is better than the Pakistani team.

[speeder]

Two opening batsmen of Pakistan U19 cricket team fell at the beginning of today's second semi-final match. These two opener batsmen of Pakistan U19 cricket team played unconscious game. Pakistan U19 cricket team batsmen batting game is very slow from the beginning. If the Pakistan U19 cricket team players fail to change their game then nothing but disappointment can be expected for the Pakistan team.

ICC Under-19 World Cup semi-final 2 matches have started. Pakistan U19 vs Australia U19 in this match. Today's match is very important for both the teams to qualify for the finals. In this semi-final match Australia U19 won the toss and chose to bowl first. Australia Under 19 team has finished bowling 8 overs so far. But Australia U19 bowlers have not shown anything good so far. The two opening batsmen of the Pakistan U19 team are playing the balls of the bowlers of the Australia U19 team very well. Pakistan U19 team's score so far is 25 runs for no loss in 8 overs. It is expected that the players of Pakistan U19 team will be able to get the opportunity to play the final match through their excellent performance in this semi-final match today.

The Australian team won the toss and they chose to ball first and I think it's  a good decision but from somewhere it is also a bad decision because of Pakistan's bowling line-up everybody has seen how they all out to Bangladesh team and what a victory so if Pakistan batsmen all out under 200 so Ubaid Shah could all out to Australian Under 19 team and now come to the reason that why it is a good decision because there bowling line up is also very strong and at this time, 13 overs were passed and they picked the two wickets of Pakistan Under 19 (nineteen) cricket team.

Right now, as per the match situation Pakistan teams seem to be in trouble where they have lost three wickets for only 43 runs. Pakistan Under 19 team needs to make some reasonable scores if they want their bowlers can win the matches for them. One or two more quick wickets for Australia and the match will be all over for the Pakistan under-19 team.

[elevates]

Pakistan lost another wicket, they lost 4 wickets in total and managed to get 61 runs on the scoreboard. The situation is bad for Pakistan as they now have a run rate which is below 3. The team was very dependent on the opening pair as these two had been batting well in the tournament. Australian bowling has been good but their fielding has been bad as they have dropped 2 catches. The pitch has bounce in it and their seamers utilized it to get wickets so is the spinner.

Amid Pakistan's batting woes, Azan Awais is in a defensive mood trying to prolong the innings and trying hard to add some runs to the score board. However, no matter how hard Pakistan U19 tries, it is not sure whether the maximum score of today's match will be up to 200 runs. However, to be promoted to the final, Pakistan must win today's match, but with the current playing conditions, it is not at all possible for Pakistan to win today's match. The performance of Pakistan U19 team is not good at all, so no matter how much Pakistan U19 tries today, if they do not give a good run target, the chances of winning will be low.
