Australia needs mere 102 runs to win from 30 overs, Pakistan can only win this game by taking wickets and Australia must not the lose the match that's already in their hand.

Pakistan bowling has been the best in the World Cup. They are now doing the same against Australia's batting. They have managed to get 4 wickets and they might get more. The runs have literally dried down as Australia is struggling. I hope Pakistan can defend the target and win today.

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.

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.

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.

Australia bowled out Pakistan for just 179 runs. Tom Straker was the standout performer, with impressive figures in the second semi-final.
Now, Pakistan needs to defend this score to reach the final. In the last match of the group stages, Pakistan beat Bangladesh by 5 runs, securing their spot in the semi-finals with their excellent bowling performance. Pakistani bowlers will need to replicate that success today. If not, Australia could easily chase down this target, setting up another India vs Australia final.

[JSRAW]

Not sure about what kind of talent both Pakistan and Australia have in this u-19 WC but the scorecard does suggest that both teams are living up to the expectations and fighting well.

So far another thriller semis is in the making, these sorts of encounters develop a character that is a big plus in junior level cricket and hope in the future, at least some make it into national teams.

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.

This game was very going very good and tough in between these teams Nepal team vs Canada team. Nepal team won toss and Nepal won a chance first bat or bowl lineup in this game but Nepal team chose bat first. This is a new series begun Canada tour to Nepal and Nepal set 224 runs in 47.5 overs and by losing 9 wickets. K.Bhurtel scored 62 runs in 58 balls and he hitted nine 4s and one 6s. A.Sheikh also scored 38 runs in 50 balls with four 4s. R.Paudel got a player of game award and he took down 4 wickets with 22 runs in 8.5 overs. L.Rajbanshi also took down two wickets in 8 overs with 41 runs. But Canada failed to chase down this target and Nepal team won this game by 7 runs.

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.

This is the easy target for Australia batsman. Pakistan batsman are not working hard and struggle and can not make run and can not gave the hard target.Their batsmen did not show interest and perform well which led to a target of 179. Their batsmen should have given a target of 250.Pakistan batsmen don't work hard and struggle that's why they don't win these matches.  If you work hard and struggle you will be able to win. They should reflect on their performance.

This is the great achievement for Australia team. The Australian batsman will easily complete the target of 180 in the 50 over innings and will surely reach the final boundary.In today's match their bowler worked very hard and struggled and took wickets and took an easy target.

In today's match of Australia U19 vs Pakistan U19 team, Pakistan U19 team came to bat and scored 179 runs in 48.5 overs. Pakistan U19 team batted for the target of runs, there is no possibility of winning this run. Pakistan U19 team batsman Azan Awais scored 91.  Out for 52 runs. Shahzaib Khan out for 4 runs in 30 balls. I have placed a bet in support of Pakistan U19 team in today's match. It seems that we will not win today's bet. Australia U19 team has started a good performance. Let's see which team will win this match till the end.

[Bitcoin Smith]

Pakistani bowlers are trying hard to defend the total and to me still it looks possible for them because already AUS lost 5 wickets and still need 50 more runs to win this match.

There is no issue with the required run rate so Pakistan need 5 more wickets to win and get into final or AUS just need to play sensible cricket from this point if they don't want to lose this match.

Australia U19 team did not start their innings well. After losing the first wicket for 33 runs, Australia lost four top-order batsmen to collect only 59 runs. But now Oliver Peake and Tom Campbell are batting brilliantly. Peake remained unbeaten with 43 runs and Campbell with 25 runs. At the end of 38 overs, Australia collected 145 runs. Australia need only 35 runs from 72 balls. Australia is in control of the match. But Australia cannot win if Campbell and Peake are out. I would say so far Pakistan has a chance to win. I expected some better batting from Pakistan batsmen.

The match turned out to be very competitive. Australia lost their seventh wicket for 155 runs. Campbell returned to the dressing room with 25 runs and Peake 49 runs. And I would say it has become more difficult for Australia to win this match at the moment. Australia players need to collect 25 more runs to win. But now Pakistan bowlers bowling is very controlled. And so it will not be easy for the two batsmen MacMillan and Straker at the crease to collect 25 runs. MacMillan and Straker are not experienced batsmen. So there is no surprise that Australia has now lost the match. Maybe we will see the final match of Pakistan vs India.

Yes, in today's match Pakistan U19 team is going to lose against Australia U19 team. Although Pakistan U19 bowlers could do a bit better in the early part of the bowling, now their bowling line is very weak. After Pakistan U19 bowlers picked up 5 wickets from Australia U19 team, the bowling line of Pakistan U19 team started to weaken slowly. After losing 5 wickets, Australia U19 turned the game around and took over. Australia U19 need just 23 runs from 39 balls to win the match against Pakistan U19. Australia U19 team is going to win this match against Pakistan U19 team to qualify for the final match.

Pakistan u19 got a target of 179 runs but they managed to score 155 runs for 7 wickets so far. And they need 25 runs in 8.1 overs. so if they can save wickets then they can collect these runs very easily it is sure. Because Australia is a very popular and powerful team in the cricket world. so Australia is more likely to win the match. Pakistan is also very good in cricket but as an ODI match they could not give Australia a strong target. 179 runs is too low for an ODI match. Still, Australia has to lost long overs and wickets to cross this target

Australia U19 team is going to win this match against Pakistan U19 team to qualify for the final match.

The batting and bowling performance of Pakistan U19 team today against Australia U19 team might not have expected them to play so badly. A team that had a good batting and bowling performance throughout the tournament came into the semi-finals and had a poor performance against the Australia U19 team. Pakistan U19 team had worst batting performance today for which they scored only 179 all out in ODI match which is unimaginable.

The match between Pakistan U19 team and Australia U19 team has exciting at the moment especially Australia U19 team needs 16 runs from 26 balls to win. However Australia U19 team has only two wickets if Pakistan U19 team utilizes this opportunity and bowls well then they still have a chance to win today's match. Let's see how well the Pakistan 19 team can bowl in the end.

[libert19]

Oops, not a smooth sail for Aussies as I expected. 8th wicket just fell, Aussies need 16 from 27, Pakistan in strong position right now.

Edit: Raza takes another one, and there goes 9th wicket. Aussies in huge trouble.

[JahriMeayer]

Australia U19 vs Pakistan U19 semi final is going on. PAKU19 already scored 179-10 where players batting performance weren't well. Arafat Minhas and Azan Awais both have done half century as mentioned contribution. Rest of players came and leaving the field quickly. But Tom Straker have archived 6 wickets which is extra ordinary performance and he makes Australia proud. Australia U19 batting is going on. Opener batsman Harry Dixon(50) have done his half century. And Oliver Peake (49) missed his half century for 1 run only. Bad luck for him today. rest of players gone maybe for targeted run pressure and Ali Raza himself have gotten 4 wickets yet. Australia U19 need 3 runs in 8 balls. So much thrilling here
Edit: Australia U19 won by 1 wicket. I had doubt if Callum Vidler and Raf MacMilllan can survive till the end or not? But finally they have done it.

Seems like Australia will lose this match which they should have won. A big batting collapse by the Australian team. Half an hour before I thought that Pakistan would lose and now altogether the situation is shifted and the match became very very tense. Since Australia has one wicket left, they are more in trouble while Pakistan has to get this last wicket for victory.

What a match, at this time, we cannot say that which team can win this match, Ubaid Shah one over left and Muhammad Zeeshan also had 5 overs to do and the last wicket is on the stage.
This is a time which can be changed universe, Pakistan will qualify for the final after such a huge long time. Muhammad Zeeshan is on bowling and last time, when the Pakistan team was facing Bangladesh at the top 6 so on that time Muhammad Zeeshan picked the last wicket but this is a more important to out, this is a time to pick a wicket and became a hero of the country. This time, Ubaid Shah, and Muhammad Zeeshan didn't do something surprising but Ahsan Raza is also on the ground so he picked 5 wickets.

PakistanU19 team tried hard to win but failed. Because the players of the AustraliaU19 team are very skilled and skilled, that's why the players of the AustraliaU19 team won. I won the bet and was very scared, as the AustraliaU19 team lost nine wickets. The loss of one more wicket was likely to see the AustraliaU19 team lose. Tom Straker has done the best bowling performance, he collected six alone so I can say that this bowling played a major role in the victory of the AustraliaU19 team.

Holy shit! Australia wins and we will see men's wc final repeating. The ball was so deciding, it took an edge, could hit wickets and it was Pakistan's win, unfortunately for Pakistan it went for four.

AUS somehow won the match just by one wicket in the last over. Some drama in the end, but AUS made it to the final.

Now They are facing the team India in the final, I am not following the U19 matches because national team is not giving any importance to the U19 champs for the past few years so this will be one more if India win with no real change.

[JSRAW]

Tbh Pakistan deserves credit for taking this game so deep, it could've been one sided match due to the first inning score but they fought well.

Having said that, I noticed a few age frauds in the Pakistani camp. Ali Raja who was brilliant with the ball is in no way 15 yo kid, similarly, skipper/WK Saad Baig is not 17 yo.
