ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[coinerer]

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.

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 win for this match. But the way you talk about the performance of Australia and Pakistan cannot be compared to the U19 team.  The players in the U19 team have not been as strong so far. Due to this, they could not finish the match with very big runs even in ODI matches. And although they could not collect many runs, the game between the two teams was very tight. Both the teams had to play around 50 overs to score this run which means that the bowling performance of both the teams was very good as neither team could collect high runs quickly. It must be admitted that the match was very enjoyable

In the end Australia under 19 team managed to win the match. And I lost the bet today. But the match was very exciting.

I would say Raf MacMillan's excellent batting is why Australia won the match today. After losing the wicket of Oliver Peake for 155 runs, it became challenging for Australia to win the match. But even then MacMillan batted responsibly. He scored only 19 runs. But it was a very important innings. However, Pakistan's young players tried hard to win the match. But Pakistan was defeated today because the batsmen were not able to bat well. Apart from Azan Awais and Arafata Minhaj, none of the batsmen in the Pakistan squad could bat well.

[Bitcoin_people]

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.

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.

The game was very dramatic towards the end, with Australia team winning the match by 1 wicket. The bowling performance in the 46th over was interesting to watch if he took two wickets in this over which any runs were scored Australia team was under a lot of pressure, at this stage it looked like Pakistan team might win the match. But it changed completely as a boundary ended the game and Australia beat Pakistan to reach the final.
Although U19 team does not give much importance to the national team but the team that will be the champion will definitely be the one with reputation, Australia and India will face each other in the final match where India is more likely to win. And it will be more interesting if India can win the match without any changes and become champions.

[libert19]

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.

[Unknown Op]

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.

So sad news for Pakistan squad fan and also for me and I wished that Pakistan U19 squad emerged victory in this second semi final match and qualify for final match of this ICC Under 19 world cup competition and we see big clash between India U19 squad and Pakistan U19 squad because India U19 sqaud already qualified for final match by defeating South Africa U19 squad.  Today Pakistan U19 squad lost this match just bad performance in batting inning and Pakistan U19 bowling inning was superb and Pakistani U19 squad bowler gave very tough performance to Australia U19 squad batter but because of low defeating target Pakistan U19 squad lost this match. Australia U19 squad just got a victory in this match with one batter wickets and just 5 deliveries remained for play. Ali Raza displayed impressive performance in bowling inning by picking 4 batter wickets of Australia U19 squad. AW congrats Australia U19 sqaud for qualification in Final big match.

But Pakistan was defeated today because the batsmen were not able to bat well. Apart from Azan Awais and Arafata Minhaj, none of the batsmen in the Pakistan squad could bat well.

In Pakistan batting there are half centuries from Azan Awais and Arafat Minhas while rest of batsmen fail to make it to even double figures. Its semi final and Pakistan should have given a target of 200 runs. Tom Straker was brillant with the ball, he took 6 wickets and doesn't allowed Pakistani batsmen to settle and score runs.
There is nothing wrong with Pakistani bowling. They did there best while defending a small target. Australia lose there 9th wicket in 46th over but it's Raf MacMillan kept his ground and played a match winning inning.

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.

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.

If you do gamble then one must be ready for such losses. Today bet was a tight call, both teams were equally good and odds were also same for both teams. You have to give credit to Pakistani bowlers for fighting hard for the gamblers.
Pakistan team had a poor batting scorecard, only two batsmen scored half centuries and that's why aggregate total was just 179 runs. Australians too had poor batting scorecard and were just lucky enough to win the game on last wicket.

[hafiztalha]

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. Australia U19 need 3 runs in 8 balls. So much thrilling here

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.

Congratulations Australia under 19s for this hard win because Pakistan Under 19s did not set good target but Australia under 19s team won this game by one wicket anf 5 balls. Australia under 19s team won toss and got a chance for bat or bowl first and Australia under 19s team elected field first. Pakistan under 19s team set 179 runs target in 48.5 overs by losing entire team. In my previous past, I said that if Australia team won this match they T.Starker bowler got a player of game award now this title credited to this player by taking 6 wickets in 9.5 overs with 24 runs. O Peake batsman scored 49 runs in 75 balls with three 4s. H.Dixon also played well and scored 50 runs in 75 balls with five 4s.

Congratulations Australia under 19s for this hard win because Pakistan Under 19s did not set good target but Australia under 19s team won this game by one wicket anf 5 balls. Australia under 19s team won toss and got a chance for bat or bowl first and Australia under 19s team elected field first. Pakistan under 19s team set 179 runs target in 48.5 overs by losing entire team.

Congratulations to the Australia Under 19 team. We had the opportunity to enjoy a very exciting match. If the Pakistan team had given a target of more than 200 runs then maybe Pakistan would have been able to win the match. A collection of 179 runs against a team like Australia was not enough to win. Even so, the match was very competitive.

Australia lost the wicket of Tom Campbell for 146 runs and Oliver Peake for 155 runs. After these two talented batsmen got out I thought Australia was going to lose this match. But due to MacMIllan's innings of 19 runs from 29 balls, the Australian team finally reached the target of victory with the loss of 9 wickets.

We are going to watch the India vs Australia final in the Under 19 World Cup. Indian team is in very good form. Even then I am not sure if India can win against Australia U19. Personally, Australia seems to be my favourite.

[JSRAW]

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.

[ZAINmalik75]

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.

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.

[Nazmul012]

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

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.

[UmerIdrees]

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  

[HelliumZ]

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.

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.

[Hallroom]

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.
