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.

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.

[Jateng]

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.

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.

Nepal vs Canada

Nepal won the toss and elected batting. Nepal batsman makes 10 run in 1 over and Canada no any wicket against Nepal batsman. This is the good started for Nepal batsman. Canada bowler out the Nepal batsman in the first ball of the 10 over. This is the first achievement for Canada team. Nepal batsman makes 53 run in 10 over and 1 out. Nepal batsman are working hard and struggle and make run. Once time again Canada bowler out the Nepal batsman in the third ball of the 15 over. This is the second achievement for Canada team. Nepal batsman makes 224 run in 50 over. This is the target for Canada batsman. This is the good target. Canada batsman can not complete this target and lose the match.Nepal bowler out the all Canada batsman in 47 over and won the match.

Pakistan U19 all-Out only for 179 runs.
Tom Straker,One Man Army finished the Pakistan Squads.
Tom Straker 9.5 over 1 maiden 24 runs 6 wickets.
Alone has been able to wreak havoc on the Pakistani squad. A target of 180 runs is not a big target for Australia U19 but Pakistan U19 will be able to beat Pakistan U19 very easily in today's match. No matter how well Pakistan bowl today, Australia U19 will win today as 179 runs is a very easy target for Australia U19.

[Sithara007]

LOL.. what a collapse from Canada.. Chasing a target of 225, they were all set for victory at 174/3. Then the established batsman Harsh Thaker was nabbed by Kushal Malla. It triggered a collapse and once Nicholas Kirton got out, it was all over for them. And the biggest joke is that it was the part-timer Rohit Paudel who emerged as the pick of the bowlers. Nepal once again cements their position as one of the strongest associate sides. And hopefully performances such as this one should guarantee an uptick in fund allocation from the ICC.

Today second semi final match is ongoing on crease between Pakistan U19 squad against Australia U19 squad and first semi final already finished a two day ago and India U19 squad emerged victory in this match and qualify for final match. But in current match, Pakistan U19 squad batting inning almost reached to end and just just one over remained for play. If we see Pakistan U19 squad score dashboard their performance was very bad and Pakistan U19 squad collected only 173 scores as a defeating target which seem very bad quality and low target also in 50 overs. Now last overs also played by Pakistan U19 sqaud and all batter wickets were cleared out and total 179 scores were collected. Just these two batter from Pakistan U19 squad Arafat Minhas and Azan Awais played good inning, Arafat Minhas collected 52 scores and Azan Awais also collected 52 scores. If we see current situation of Pakistan U19 squad possibility for emerging victory in today match is very low.

Pakistan U-19 vs Australia U-19

Pakistan U19 were eventually bowled out for 179 runs in 48.5 overs. Apart from Arafat Minhas and Azan Awais, none of the other batsmen could do well, both getting out for 52 runs. In the match of Super Six, Pakistan U19 team could not bat well against Bangladesh U19 team, even today they could not give a target of big runs. Even if they can win against the Bangladesh U19 team with a small run target, they will not win today.

Australia Under 19 team won 3 out of 3 matches with a great performance in the group stage. They performed brilliantly in the Super Sixes. So the target of 180 runs will be easily chased by Australia under 19 team. Chasing a target of 180 runs, Australia have collected 23 runs in 7 overs so far. I think Australia will easily win today and reach the final.

Australia Under 19 team bowling performance is brilliant they all out Pakistan under 19 team in just 179 runs. T. Straker brilliant bowling performance took six wickets by just give 6/24 runa in his bowling spell.  M. Beardman and C. Vidler also bowl well but took only 1,1 wickets and restricted pakistan under 19 team under 180 runs. Australia Under 19 team lost four wickets in 59 score in 17th over of the match they need 121 more runs to qualify for final of Under 19 world cup.

In the match of Super Six, Pakistan U19 team could not bat well against Bangladesh U19 team, even today they could not give a target of big runs. Even if they can win against the Bangladesh U19 team with a small run target, they will not win today.

Australia Under 19 team won 3 out of 3 matches with a great performance in the group stage. They performed brilliantly in the Super Sixes. So the target of 180 runs will be easily chased by Australia under 19 team. Chasing a target of 180 runs, Australia have collected 23 runs in 7 overs so far. I think Australia will easily win today and reach the final.

Pakistan team is on the way out of the World Cup but still, they have a chance because Ubaid Shah is in the team and at this time, one wicket fell by Ali Raza so now just hope that Ubaid Shah will do something but at the same time, the captain Saad Baig gave him over back to back and a player did just 10 overs and in the starting of the game he did 4 overs so now Saad Baig should give the ball to other bowlers and protect Ubaid Shah's bowlers for the end, and gave ball to players who never did any single ball in this match, and Zeeshan is also left in pacers.

Initially, the Pakistan batting was a big failure. There were two half centuries from the Pakistan batsmen, Azan Awais and Arafat Minhas but they were not able to take it long to a century and also there was no batting performance by any other player. Scoring such a low score and thinking of winning the semi final, can only be a miracle that usually do not come true.

Pakistan U-19 vs Australia U-19

Australia Under 19 team won 3 out of 3 matches with a great performance in the group stage. They performed brilliantly in the Super Sixes. So the target of 180 runs will be easily chased by Australia under 19 team. Chasing a target of 180 runs, Australia have collected 23 runs in 7 overs so far. I think Australia will easily win today and reach the final.

Although Australia U19 played well in the group stage, the semi-final was different in all other respects. Although Australia under 19 bowled well and managed to bowl out Pakistan under 19 for 179 runs, the bowlers completely dominated the match. Australia Under 19 went down to bat with a target of 180 runs and did not lose a wicket till 10 overs, but when the first wicket fell for the team's 33 runs, four of Australia's top order batsmen were dismissed for 59 runs. But if Pakistan under 19 team can bowl well then it might be possible to defeat Australia in today's match.

[Farhan99]

Pakistan is favorite to win this semi final match because Australia U19 lost thier 4 wickets in just 79 runs. From Pakistan U19 Naveed Ahmed Khan get bif wicket of Weibgen and Ubaid Shah also get cleen bold R. Hicks on a duck. Australia 2 top bastem Dixon is 41 and Peake 13 runs not out. Pakistan need to brake down this partnership if they will win this semi final match the wicket of Dixon is very important for Pakistan.
