Pak U-19s Vs UAE U-19s

Today's in 7th game of under-19s Asia cup tournament, Pakistan U-19 played first and made 314 runs excellent batting by Pak team they start their innings very well openers played a partnership of 94 runs which put pressure on UAE U-19 team. Pak U-19 Top order performed well Shahzaib Khan brilliant batting hundred again scored 132 runs such an talented players help pak to gave a good target of 315. UAE U-19 team fought hard but unluckily lost the match by just 69 run after brilliant batting Pak team bowled also well Abdul Subhan takes six wickets UAE U-19 didn't save thier wickets and scored only 245 runs. Mohammad Ahmed also bowled well and took two wicket and finally helped Pak team to winning back to back games and climbed to top position on point table.

Pakistan has qualified from Group A, and they have one match remaining against Japan Under-19s. The second team to qualify from this group will be the winner of the match between India Under-19s and United Arab Emirates Under-19. Also, from Group B Sri Lanka and Bangladesh have been confirmed as the entrants to semi-finals. It should be quite disappointing for the Afghanistan Under-19s to miss out. At the moment, Pakistan looks like the strongest team in the tournament, and I won't be surprised if they end up winning this tournament.

Anyone watching the Asian Cricket Council Under-19s Asia Cup? The match between India Under-19s and Japan Under-19s is ongoing at the moment. India are batting first, and at the moment they are 118/2 with Andre Siddarth and Mohamed Amaan at the crease. We can expect a big total, in the range of 350-400 against the inexperienced Japanese bowling attack. Aarav Tiwari was the only Japanese bowler who looked impressive so far, with everyone else leaking plenty of runs.

India won that match by 211 runs, this was a big margin lead but then Japan Under 19s is the weakest team of this group.
The Pakistan team is leading the table while the Indian team is going to lose their position in the Semi finals.  They have to win their other match with a better run rate then they might have a chance for them to qualify for the next stage. So far, I am not seeing good for the Indian team because can you even imagine that the United Arab Emirates are at the 2nd position. But I am still hoping for them because the last match between India and United Arab Emirates will be a decider of who moves in the semi finals.

I think India will come in the second position. Even though they are on the third position right now but I know in the next matches you will see them in the second place. As today they faced Japan and they played their best game. Winning by 211 runs is no joke, no matter against which team you are playing. India U19 will have to produce a similar performance against UAE too. Even though UAE has a better NRR but that does not matter as the team winning that last match will get 2 points and they will move up the table, entering the Semi's.

Pak U-19s Vs UAE U-19s

Today's in 7th game of under-19s Asia cup tournament, Pakistan U-19 played first and made 314 runs excellent batting by Pak team they start their innings very well openers played a partnership of 94 runs which put pressure on UAE U-19 team.

Mohammad Ahmed also bowled well and took two wicket and finally helped Pak team to winning back to back games and climbed to top position on point table.

Pakistan under 19 team are looking in great touch especially due to huge contribution of thier oppner and firey pacer and that's a really great indication for Pakistan team future because they are looking in very safe hands. Anyway shahzaib Khan are really on fire its his second consecutive century at second match of the tournament, also some of guys complaint in previous match that only few of Pakistani batter are doing good which isn't safe because they need more to play like them In order to announce as winner of this tournament, so I think toady they fix thier complaint and played as a team from top to bottom. To be honest from now I am looking them in final against SiriLankan or may be Afghanistan or India.

We have seen Shahzaib Khan batting well in both the matches. Shahzaib Khan scored 159 runs in the first match. Shahzaib Khan scored 132 runs in the second match. Pakistani batsmen played very well in both the matches and won.

But let's not forget that Pakistan is playing against Ireland. Ireland team cannot be said to be very strong. Basically Ireland's national team is also relatively weak. Ireland U-19 team is also not strong. So I would say that we should not be too happy if they  perform well against such a team. I have a lot of doubts whether Pakistan U-19 team will be able to play well against India and Australia U-19 teams.

Bangladesh Women vs Ireland Women, 3rd ODI (ICC Championship Match), batting first, Ireland Women scored 185 runs. Ireland Women tried to bat well, and they played very well against Bangladesh Women. Bangladesh Women played very well, and they bowled well, which made the Island Women easily under their control. Bangladesh Women are playing much better than Bangladesh Men, however, we can see that Bangladesh are batting to achieve the target of 185 runs. At the moment, Bangladesh have lost 1 wicket and have scored 88 runs in 20 overs, if Bangladesh Women can play well and patiently, they will definitely win. Since Bangladesh Women still have enough wickets, they can easily achieve the target of 98 runs if they can bat patiently.

I am very surprised to see the performance of Bangladesh women's team. We have been seeing weak and irregular performance of this team so far. But Bangladesh women's team players are performing brilliantly against Ireland women's team. Bangladesh won the first match by 154 runs. Bangladesh women's team also won the second match easily. Bangladesh team is going to win today's match too.

Ireland team gave a target of 186 runs. Bangladesh lost their first wicket by just 9 runs. But the interesting thing is that Bangladesh made a big collection in the second wicket pair. After 31 overs, Bangladesh's collection is 140 runs for the loss of 1 wicket. Fargana Hoque is unbeaten with 51 runs and SHarmin 67 runs. Bangladesh team is moving towards the goal of victory very easily. This is a memorable series for Bangladesh women's team.

I am very surprised by the performance of Bangladesh women's team. I have never seen this team win a series. But they won every match in the series against Ireland. And Bangladesh women's team was able to dominate in every match. Bangladesh played very well in the last match. Has the performance of Bangladesh women's team really improved? Or is Ireland team very weak? I think Ireland women's team is very weak that's why Bangladesh was able to perform well in this series. I am waiting to see if Bangladesh women's team players can perform well in T20 format.

Hmmmm... That is right that Bangladesh women team played very well against Ireland women team. They won every match in series which is big deal. It is possible that Ireland team is not very strong, but it is also clear that Bangladesh women team has gotten a lot better. To see if this will keep happening it will be interesting to watch how Bangladesh women team does in T20 format like you said. If they can keep playing well in this format it will be good sign that they have really improved.

The last round of group phase matches in the Asian Cricket Council Under-19s Asia Cup will be played today and tomorrow. Nepal Under-19s will be taking on Afghanistan Under-19s at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium today, and both these teams have lost all of their matches till now. And especially for Nepal, this has been a very disappointing tournament. They played two matches (against Sri Lanka and Bangladesh), and lost both of them by heavy margins. The senior team failed to qualify for next year's Asia Cup, and the junior team's performance is not that great either.

Yes last round of group matches in Asian Cricket Council Under 19s Asia Cup starts today and tomorrow. Today Nepal Under19 team plays very important match against Afghanistan Under19 team at Sharjah Cricket Stadium. Sadly both teams have not done well in tournament so far losing all their games. Nepal U19 performance has been very disappointing with big losses to Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. Team problems are worrying especially since older team could not qualify for next year Asia Cup.

[Sithara007]

Afghan batting has crumbled against the Nepal bowlers. They are 102/8 after 30 overs, and tailenders Naseer Khan Maroofkhil and Khatir Stanikzai are at the crease at the moment. Without any exception, the Nepal bowlers were really good so far. Abhisekh Tiwari gave them initial breakthroughs, and then it was left to Hemant Dhami and Unish Thakuri to make further dents on Afghan batting lineup. Both the teams are out of contention for semi-finals, so the teams are playing just for prestige.

I considered Afghanistan's squad as strong compared to Nepal. But it seems I was wrong. Afghanistan U19 team is not very strong. The team batted badly against Nepal. Afghanistan U19 team could only collect 123 runs for the loss of 10 wickets. Afghanistan and Nepal U19 teams are yet to win a single match.

Will it be very difficult for Nepal to win the match? Although Nepal has lost against Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Even then Nepal's batting order is not very weak. So Nepal will probably win today's match with a target of only 124 runs.

[Ayers]

Sri Lanka Under 19 and Bangladesh Under 19 have won their first two matches. The team that wins today's match will be the one that will occupy the top spot in the table. The strong teams of Group B are Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka Under 19 captain decided to bat after winning the toss. Vimath Dinsara's responsible batting will likely enable Sri Lanka to score a big total. Sri Lanka have scored 218 runs in 48 overs. Vimath Dinsara is unbeaten on 97 runs. The target of 220+ cannot be called a small target on this pitch. Sri Lanka has a big chance of winning today.

Yes last round of group matches in Asian Cricket Council Under 19s Asia Cup starts today and tomorrow. Today Nepal Under19 team plays very important match against Afghanistan Under19 team at Sharjah Cricket Stadium. Sadly both teams have not done well in tournament so far losing all their games. Nepal U19 performance has been very disappointing with big losses to Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. Team problems are worrying especially since older team could not qualify for next year Asia Cup.

Even though Nepal is the weakest team but Afganistan hasn't been upto the mark either. In the match between these two teams, Afghanistan only manages to make 123 runs in the 50 overs game. That was a poor display of batting where the whole team got out in 36 overs. Only Faisal Shinozada was able to make a 50 and rest none of the batsmen was able to stay on wicket. Nepal should win this match although they have also lost two wickets at 23. We may witness a close game.

In the other match, Sri Lanka U19 make 228 runs, not a big score but still Sri Lankan bowlers could defend it. The team winning this match will end up at the top of Group B, which will have a significant importance with whom they will be playing in the semi finals.

The match is in progress between Sri Lanka under 19s team and Bangladesh under 19s team. Bangladesh is winning the match, they have to make 102 runs more while they have 18 overs to chase it, that is easy for them. At the same time, Kalam Siddiki is batting on 70 and he is near to make his century. Zawad Abrar has not made much good opening for the team but at least scored valuable runs before he was run out by Pulindu Perera. He used 22 balls and scored 24 which is good average. He could increase it but not a problem in the context of this match.

Sri Lanka U19 team scored 228 runs in the first innings against Bangladesh U19 team due to which Bangladesh youngsters are batting in the second innings with a target of 229 runs. Bangladesh is batting well and at this stage of the match, the youngsters of Bangladesh need less runs than the ball and Bangladesh have more wickets than they need to get these runs.  If the youth of Bangladesh can play with patience then the result of this match will be in favor of the youth of Bangladesh.

In early overs of the inning, things were looking favourable for the Bangladesh U19 as they were doing good job and their openers give them good start, but suddenly we have collapse for them which is heading to them in defeat this is surely poor for them as they were looking better team their bowlers done good job despite having century from Vimath Dinsara no other batsmen able to score decent runs.

While in chase we have 52 runs stand with Kalam Siddiki bowled out on 95 after this we have no good batting from any player which give them lost in last over by 7 overs with this defeat now they will be ended on second group into their group and Sri Lanka having top rank with 3 wins out of 3 matches Nepal have won against Afghanistan which is now set for having bottom spot into this group.

Bangladesh team lost the match by just seven runs. Bangladesh's game was not bad but they could not save their wicket going to the last minute. If they could have saved wickets then Bangladesh would have won the match as Sri Lanka had given them a target of very few runs as an ODI match. 228 runs in an ODI match was not a big challenge to win the match. It can be said that Bangladesh has failed to lose this match.

Kalam Allen though scored 95 runs in the end to give Bangladesh all chance of victory but in the end both wickets and overs ran out to put the pressure on Bangladesh. Bangladesh could not overcome this pressure and ended up being all out and losing by seven runs. Although 10 runs were required in the last over but at that moment Bangladesh had to be defeated due to the lack of hard hitter batting. However, Bangladesh has performed relatively well despite being defeated.

I am waiting to see if Bangladesh women's team players can perform well in T20 format.

Island women's team is not a strong team like Sri Lanka women's team or England women's team and also Ireland is a European team and these Ireland girls have come to visit Bangladesh so it is natural that the conditions will not go in their favor here. If the performance of Bangladeshi women against Ireland women's team was similar to that of India women's team or Sri Lanka women's team then I would have accepted the fact that Bangladeshi women's performance was much better. But Bangladesh must be congratulated for winning all the matches. If Bangladeshi boys were playing in place of Bangladeshi girls and Ireland boys were playing in place of Ireland girls then it would be seen that Bangladesh was losing to Ireland in that aspect Bangladeshi girls performed much better.

Sri Lanka Under 19 and Bangladesh Under 19 have won their first two matches. The team that wins today's match will be the one that will occupy the top spot in the table. The strong teams of Group B are Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

Vimath Dinsara is unbeaten on 97 runs. The target of 220+ cannot be called a small target on this pitch. Sri Lanka has a big chance of winning today.

Both these teams have won matches due to their performance and potential.  There was a great match between these two teams in which both the teams played very well due to which only one team won which was Sri Lanka.  The decision they took which proved to be better in their favor.  Sri Lankan batsmen set a target of 228 in their over which was not that big but their bowling made the target of 228 difficult and won the match.  Bangladesh batsmen would have lost this match by 7 runs if their batsmen had played well and fast first they could have won this match.  But Sri Lanka won the match and established their position.
