ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[cryptoWODL]

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.

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.

It is not exactly him, every other batters before him were playing defensive. They not bothered to rotate the strike or even take single run at this rate they won't even reach 200 runs. They previous match against Afghanistan they played so well and today it bad or we can very bad batting by Pakistan. They would need a decent total on the scoreboard to defend it which at the moment in not looking possible for them.

The Pakistan team played very poorly, I don't know if it's the culture of the Pakistan team. When Pakistan's batting is good so bowling is not good and when bat and ball both are good so in fielding we find out the mistakes and when all the things are done so umpire is not good as you can see in Pakistan vs South Africa WC23 match that Pakistan lost and after this lose Pakistan out from World Cup, and when all the things are proper rigtht so weather is not with Pakistan cricket team.
As you have seen at Asia Cup 2023 when Pakistan out all the team of India at 246 so the rain came and the match was stopped, and in today's Under 19 match PAKISTAN's BATTING IS NOT GOOD. No more excuses for them today. On the other Australian team is playing like a true champion. Tom Straker is the most successful bowler for the Australian team as he took two wickets and gave away only 8 runs in the five overs he bowled.

Edit: Pakistan lose their first wicket.

Pakistan under 19 team lost thier four wickets in just 75/4 in first 26 overs of the second semifinal match.  Australia impressive bowling performance T. Straker took two important wickets by just hive only 8 runs and C. Vidler also took only one wickets 19/1 in first six over of his bowling spell. I think Australia restricted pakistan Under 19 team in under 200 runs and they have ability to win this semifinal of under 19 world cup and qualify for the final

Pakistan's top order batsmen were all out while batting in a defensive mood.
Shahzaib khan 4 runs off 30 balls
Saad Baig 3 runs off 11 Balls
Ahmad Hassan 4 runs off 18 balls
Haroon Arshad 8 runs off 27

All the above actually got out while playing in defensive mode, in this case it was a mistake to face the top order batsmen in defensive mode. If the run rate would have been correct if the attacking innings was played, then the Pakistan U19 team's run target could have been 250+.

Australia U19 vs Pakistan U19, Semi-Final 2 is taking place and Pakistan team is already batting but not able to increase their runs much. In today's match, Pakistan team batted under a lot of pressure due to which their runs are relatively low at the moment and many wickets have also been lost. However, Australia's bowling performance today has been abysmal due to which the Pakistan team has easily come under pressure and with the runs they have accumulated, it looks like they will never win. All the batsmen who batted at the beginning of the Pakistan team played very poorly due to which the team did not increase the runs, but if any other player could have done as well as Azan Awais, it would have been possible to make a good score. In today's match Australia team seems to beat Pakistan for sure as at the moment their team score is 100 runs 33 overs 5 wickets.

Australia U19 vs Pakistan U19, Semi-Final 2 is taking place and Pakistan team is already batting but not able to increase their runs much.

In the other match (between Nepal and Canada), the Nepal team gave a good target but Canada is also a very good team, they still had a chance to win, and I think they are already winning as they lay, they needed 60 in 20 overs, meanwhile they needed 60 runs in 120 balls.

Don't underestimate Canada's team power, their team name is not popular otherwise they played very well. As you know, Nepal played Asia Cup, and the World Cup so Canada is should in their place. I know Canada is not in Asia that's why they can't play Asia Cup but World Cup, they should play, and now you are saying or thinking that Canada plays well so they are playing well against Nepal and no one lifted (encouraged) Nepal but Nepal slowly making a good team and Canada team is in the very down position so after beating them, they got confidence to beat some other's team.

If the Pakistan U19 cricket team's run target is not 250+, there will be no chance of winning this match today. Because Australia under 19 cricket team is also very skilled. Australia Under 19 Cricket Team Expectation, They Will Play Final Match. So they will adopt any strategy to win this match. I am a supporter of Pakistan U19 Cricket Team and I want Pakistan U19 Cricket Team to reach the final by breaking all the tactics of Australia U19 Cricket Team in today's match.

LOL.. Pakistan struggling at 133/6 after 40.2 overs. I guess it is going to be yet another final between India and Australia in a major ICC tournament. These two teams are dominating international cricket at this point. England and New Zealand were also there in the pig-4 grouping. But during the last 2-3 years these two teams have lost their mojo. And then we have Pakistan and South Africa at a level below these teams. None of the other teams are able to provide any meaningful competition to either India or Australia.
