ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

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.

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.

I wouldn't know for sure, but they look according to age to me tbh (ok, I have doubts about Ali Raza being 15 yo, but under 19 I can pass that). But, you could be true and I wouldn't be surprised, age fabrication happens lot in developing nations.

Subcontinent teams do that all the time.

BCCI recently tried to solve this problem and found some success by punishing a couple of players. They even came up with a provision that in u19 players can feature in only one WC even if they are eligible to play the next WC.

It's really terrible and sad for because I was expecting paksitan team to win this important match as they have already shown quality cricket in his previous matches against strong opponent but one things is cleared no doubt they lose thier match but won hearts because they grab one of top side at such low target while chasing and they almost get them but unfortunately we can say due to bad delivery or bad luck they unable to divert things toward them. While if we have a look at scorecard Paksitani quality Pacers dismissed thier 9 player which is I think has been done for a first time in Australian this world cup  journey.
Anyway now things can be a big difficult for India as Australian has history to conquer final stage at every competition when ever they qualify, but history can be changed anytime as anything can be impossible. So my support will be for India.

In Australia U19 vs Pakistan U19 semi final match, Australia U19 won by 1 wicket and qualify for final with india U19. Sad for Pakistan U19 supporters who expected to see Pakistan U19 team in final. But it'll be also interesting when Australia will fight with India! It reminds me the world cup final. Pakistan start up was good. Azan Awais tired to manage from beginning and when wickets keep falling then Arafat Minhas hold his team tightly and scored half century. Besides Australia U19 start up was also good enough. Harry Dixon did half century as a opener batsman. Otherwise batsman out earlier but Oliver Peake managed to scored even he is a Bowling Allrounder. And thilling started when Oliver Peake out. Best effort of Raf MacMilllan, help Australia to won the match today

That's right, the match was enjoyable, but unfortunately Pakistan U19 cricket team lost the match by one wicket. I am deeply saddened that Pakistan U19 cricket team lost today's match. I lost a huge amount of money by betting on the Pakistan cricket team in today's match, it is very unfortunate for me. In this match, if the batsmen of Pakistan U19 cricket team could have given Australia U19 cricket team a little higher target, then Pakistan U19 cricket team would not have been defeated in this match. Many gamblers like me are in a disaster as Pakistan U19 cricket team lost the match. My condolences to all the gamblers who lost today's match.

In this match I also placed a bet in support of Pakistan U19 team but lost the bet due to poor performance of Pakistan U19 team. Pakistan U19 team could not score more runs due to weak batsmen of Pakistan U19 team. Australia U19 team started with good performance in batting but in the end they were under a lot of pressure.  Was Australia U19 team batsman.

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.

Rightly said that Pakistan was not in a winning position especially the way they started the innings with poor batting. But after they have made a comeback they should have won it.
If they had lost a one sided match, they would have regret but coming so close and then losing is heart breaking for the young blood. Also it will give a India a big sign of relief in the finals as there will be no Pakistan Under 19.

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.

Well, i do not know about their ages and it does not matter if they are 16, 17, or 18 but they should be under 19 to be qualify to play in the under 19. Are you saying any one of them was over 19 years of age

Fortune always favors the fortunate..
With Bangladesh, zeshaan was also dismissed by Edge and Bangladesh U19 could not qualify for the semi-finals due to bad luck.
In tomorrow's match, Zeesan's ball edged into a boundary in the same way and confirmed the final. In fact, in this case, Pakistan's luck was not good, so they could not confirm the final.

Since the AustraliaU19 team has secured the final, IndiaU19 will surely win by competing with the team. Now the two teams that have participated in the finals are the strongest teams and their performances are very good this season. If the players of the AustraliaU19 team can perform well by protecting the wicket in this match, then it is definitely possible to win. Because Tom Hartley has collected the most wickets by completing the competition with the PakistanU19 team. So the AustraliaU19 team can definitely defeat the Indian team.

I think other pacers weren't as good as Raza, Raza kept ball wicket to wicket and got few successes while other pacers bowled differently, also Australian tail-enders were surprisingly good at defending. Aussies know how to play underpressure, don't they? I mean it was last wicket and they tackled bowls good.

India has been playing real good in this tourney, unbeaten so far, let's see how they gonna tackle Aussies, or are we gonna see men's wc repeat where Aussies broke the unbeaten streak at Final.

Australia always perform better during the final match of major tournaments and India underperforms under such circumstances. And yesterday we saw how amazing the Australian bowlers were. Tom Straker, the 18-year old pacer completely demolished Pakistani batting lineup. And Callum Vidler have been in prime form throughout this series. On top of that, their batsmen have been in good form as well, especially Harry Dixon and Hugh Weibgen. That said, I won't discount the Indians. They have been unbeaten so far, both in group phase and Super6.

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.

Pakistan U19 outstanding performance in this match but unfortunately loss the semifinal by just 1 wicket. Australia U19 qualify for the final and they will play against India U19 in final of under 19 world cup. Pakistan U19 team fight well they picked 9 wickets of Australian team but failed to only 1 wicket and loss the match. The Player of the Match Tom Straker of AUS U19 for his amazing bowling performance picked up 6 crusial wickets by just giving 24 runs and also scored 3 runs for his team. Australia U19 chase down the target 181 runs by lost of 9 wickets in 49.1 over of the match and qualify for final of world cup.

The AustraliaU19 team has done well and made it to the final, but that doesn't mean they will definitely win against IndiaU19. Just because of that Tom Hartley got the most wickets in a previous match doesn't mean he will be successful in the final. The Indian team also has talented players who have done well in the tournament. It's important to think about both teams strengths and weaknesses and how they have performed overall instead of just looking at past statistics. The final result will depend on how well both teams play and perform on the day of the match.

One advantage with India is that recently a lot of money has been poured into the age group cricket system, and as a result many of the younger players have access to high-class infrastructural facilities and training. The advantage with Australia is that their grass-roots cricket system is quite strong in the colleges and school. That is how they are able to challenge India, despite having less than 2% of the population in comparison. Anyway, fingers crossed for the final. Even now, I would say that Australia has a solid advantage over India.

Well, so far both these teams faced each other twice in the u-19 WC finals and India won both finals so not sure if Australia has any advantage.

However, it could be argued that the current Indian batch is not as strong as previous ones so the result could be unpredictable, which makes the contest juicy for everyone.

[noormcs5]

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.

Yesterday was the match of Pakistan Under 19 vs Australia Under 19, and this match was won by Australia Under 19. History was repeated after the 2021 World Cup, and I hope now it will again repeat with India on Sunday, On the 2023 World Cup India won all the matches and direct qualified for the final and this time also they did the same as their big team and Australia was also final and that match was also played at Sunday now let's hope will history again repeat with India.

In the 2015 World Cup, the Pakistan vs Australia match was played and at that time, we have seen a great fight between Wahab Riaz and Shane Waston and after that, the Australian team took revenge for this.

The U 19 World Cup finals look like a repeat telecast coming on Sunday of the men's World Cup. Pakistan was a bit unlucky yesterday against the Australians, it is not that easy to defend such a small target. They did their best to win but Macmillian snatched the win from their hands. I said they were a bit lucky because of the slow over rate they had to bring the fielder up in the circle as they were penalized, and Macmillian utilized that opportunity to hit the winning 4 to the boundary. I thoroughly enjoyed both the semifinals and expect the same level of enjoyment for the finals.

[libert19]

I said they were a bit lucky because of the slow over rate they had to bring the fielder up in the circle as they were penalized, and Macmillian utilized that opportunity to hit the winning 4 to the boundary.

MacMilllan didn't utilize anything, it was pure luck, ball took an edge and went for a boundary, it was not intentional shot that you could say he utilized the field.

When fine leg was brought up in the circle, commentator said, is it a good thing in this situation? Because with tailenders, fours usually go through fine leg or third man, yes they were penalized and were forced to bring one player inside but I'd say it was amateurish decision from Pakistan's side that they brought fine leg inside the circle.

You can say that too, it is just another way to put forward his intent to win. Pakistan team was good with thier bowling attack, throughout the tournament they dominated. The problem with Pakistan was that they were dependent in the batting performance of thier openers. That back fired them big time as they waisted so many balls. If they had a 200 runs on the scoreboard they would have won yesterday and we would have been waiting for Sunday to watch the finals.

Afghanistan won the toss and invited Sri Lanka to bat in the first match of the ODI series between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan today. In my opinion, it would have been better if the Afghanistan team had batted first in today's first match. We have seen the test match between these two teams where Sri Lanka team performed much better than Afghanistan team and won the match. Now it is waiting to see how well Afghanistan team players can prove themselves as good players in ODI. As today's first match has just started, the course of the game cannot be determined yet. The bowlers of the Afghanistan team have bowled 6.5 overs so far. But in between, the Afghanistan team has not yet shown a strong example of their bowling. Now let's see how well the Afghanistan team can bowl in today's ODI.

[rojan]

In Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan 1st ODI match Sri Lanka team now comes to bat. 61 runs in 8 overs. Sri Lanka team has not lost any wicket till now let's see how well Sri Lanka team can perform in today's match. I think Sri Lanka  Lanka team may be able to give a target of 290 runs in today's match and if they can't score 290 runs, it will be very difficult for Sri Lanka team to win this match. If the bowling line of Afghanistan team performs poorly, Sri Lanka team will win this match very easily.

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 .

Nepal won the match by his own well bowling prefromance. Nepal team made 224 run and Canada made 217 run Only seven runs were left but unfortunately all the Canadian players lost their wickets due to which Canada lost the match with five overs remaining if they had kept their wicket they could have easily won the match. canda was going quite well in the batting but he could not play full overs , batting side of canada P Singh and Kirton paly very well and both are completed his own century.

Tomorrow is the match of Canada vs Neal once again, and yesterday was the same match for them, which was a surprising match because in 18 overs Canada needed 53 runs and these runs they could easily make, and their 4 wickets were also left but Nepal bowling in the ending was wonderful. Canada touched victory but the Nepal team did a miracle which the Canadian team may never forget. This performance by the Nepal team came surprise to them.

Nepal's bowling is wonderful but their batting was just average, some players made very good runs from Nepal like a player who made 50 from Nepal and who is Kushal Bhurtel, and in this target he had main character while the others made runs but not too much.
