[Nanga Parbat]

Previous match was finished with no outcome but today match was really intense and interesting among Pakistan Under 19s squad and Afghanistan Under 19s squad. Afghanistan Under-19 squad was started match first with batting inning and their batters just achieved normal target 226 scores off 50 overs. Usman Khan played important role in batting and restricted Afghanistan Under-19 squad low quality scores by picking up 4 important wickets. Hamza Zahoor and Farhan Yousaf both were top performer of this match and both really palyed good inning today and both collected 65 and 68 scores. Their top order and middle order batters displayed quite weak performance which made it difficult to win match. Target was not very big yet match was eventually won by close margin.

Game between Pakistan U-19 and Afghanistan U-19 was quite exciting and despite fact that target of 227 runs appeared to be easy at first, pressure made it difficult game. Usman Khan did amazing job by taking 4 wickets and stopping Afghanistan from scoring significantly higher score and made game reachable.

Fact that Pakistan main batters were not performing well, Hamza Zahoor and Farhan Yousaf rescued team with their excellent batting, which shows that they can handle pressure quite well. Although Pakistan won, fact that it was that close finish shows that other batters should be more steady and should not make mistakes. Pakistan was final winner due to some good individual performances, but they will have to perform better as team in next matches.

This match was actually played with good effort and hard work which was very interesting and was a well played match by both sides. The good effort and hard work of Afghanistan U 19 made a good target for Pakistan U-19 which seemed like they could fail in the match. They also put in a lot of hard work, if they had not tried so hard they would have become an even stronger target and Pakistan U-19 would have probably lost, but they overcame the pressure and gradually victory the match. Although the other batsmen played poorly, if they had not played like this they could have victory long ago, but their hard work gave them a lot of benefit and they succeed. They should reduce their carelessness so that they do not fail themselves in the final or big matches going forward and this can also jeopardize their hard work.

If I give my personal opinion here, I would say that both the teams performed exceptionally well in this match from the bowling format. Here I would put Pakistan Under-19 team and Afghanistan Under-19 team side by side, but in terms of batting performance, both the teams performed poorly.
So there is no context here to say that Pakistan Under-19 team performed very well or Afghanistan Under-19 team performed very well, here the performance of both was almost equal. And in this respect, Pakistan Under-19 team narrowly escaped losing the match.

It is very fair analysis of match where both teams bowled very well yet did not bat well resulting in very close finish. Real stars were bowlers on both sides, and they kept their aim so steady that batters never got comfortable or stayed long. Since two teams almost played same, it was other battle of plans than show of talent and Pakistan was extremely lucky to have won by such small margin. This shows that Afghanistan youth team has become as strong as Pakistan and it is no longer team that can be easily beaten. Although Pakistan won, it is clear that two teams should practice their batting if they want to do well in remaining part of tournament.

Actually here the pitch is way more than bowling friendly thats why we saw that most of the batsmen in both team failed to do at least performance others wise where we saw some incredible performances from the Pakistani under 19 batters specially Sameer Minhas he made the golden duck in this match.

Anyway in today the another match between the Pakistani under 19 and the Zimbabwe under 19 has already started . Zimbabwe under 19 team has won the toss and select the bowling first.

Pakistani under 19 team took 41 run and loss one wicket of them after 7 overs I think it's good start from the Pakistan but if they stay without losing any wicket that would be more better.

[Webetcoins]

Zimbabwe U19 chose to bowl first in 3rd match of tri series against Pakistan U19, this was not wise decision from them, Pakistan U19 lost early wicket but after this, Sameer Minhas and Usman Khan smashed centuries and gave good foundation for having big total on board.

Sameer Minhas scored 142 runs and Usman Khan 121 runs their 199 runs partnership led for things to be possible for their team to have 354. Huzaifa Ahsan scored 54 runs Kirby Madharamete 3 for 53 and Panashe Mazai 2 for 51 were most economical and successful bowlers for Zimbabwe U19. Now match is delayed due to rain and it looks like Zimbabwe U19 will be able to secure 1 point after conceding 354 runs.

In the previous game, we have seen Ali Hassan Baloch came on number 2 but today he opened game. He was wasting balls in the previous game and same today, struggling but today we found Sameer Minhas was scoring really amazingly not like against Afghanistan where he got out on 0.

Usman Khan also supporting him, making partnership with him and that is great. By the way next game is on 31st December between Afghanistan and Zimbabwe for the second time in this series. Last time rain canceled the game but hopefully not this time.

Sameer Minhas is a really extra ordinary player, the way he hitting boundaries and scoring back to back centuries, helping to the team to score high and contribution in the teams score or winning key players.

He has no fear about the loss of his wicket, just one motive boundaries and scoring that's it. When he plays, his teammates also feel confident and play a long innings according to the format. Meanwhile, when he is hitting, his teammates decide to stand with him and also hit when they get the chance.

Sameer Minhas played vital role in Pakistan U19 win in final against India U19. Today his century went in vain as match ended with no result due to rain. Today Usman Khan also joined him in making a century, both Sameer and Usman added 199 runs to the total. In this ongoing U19 tri series, Afghanistan also playing and we have seen a nail biting finish in their game against Pakistan. Rain is interrupting this tri series and Zimbabwe is lucky to be at number 2 position because both of their games washed out due to rain.

Match was ended with no result because Zimbabwe U19 cricket team could not play well in this match and they gave more runs in this match And Sameer Minhas played brilliant inning in this match because he made 142 runs in this match and played with high strike rate which was need of the team And he hit 4 sixes and 17 fours in this match . Usman Khan also played very well in this match because opponent team bowling attack was not good and they gave more And more runs in this match and no person could do attack in this match. They should try to take wickets at the start of the match but their effort was very weak in this match . We saw rain after the first inning of the match and match was not ended and we saw only one inning in this match.

Pakistan U 19 has shown a very great performance in the tri series like the previous series.Sameer Minhas deserved to win in the previous matches and this time too he is carrying a special responsibility and Usman Ali is supporting him in the tri series.If the match had not been ended due to rain I was sure that Pakistan U 19 would have won this match too because the Pakistan U 19 batsmen were batting very aggressive and it was not easy to chase their aim and the bowlers take very important wickets and control the enemy score.Zimbabwe is at an benefit due to the rain because they are in second place without winning the match.This tri series is going to be quite interesting.Which team will leave whom behind.

Fact that match with Zimbabwe was called off because of rain was indeed frustrating, given that Pakistan had control after scoring huge 354 runs. You were correct in praising Sameer Minhas who made incredible 142 runs on 106 balls and Usman Khan who made century with 121 runs to support him. This good batting and ability of team to take early wickets makes them favorites to win series despite luck Zimbabwe had and remained in second place due to rain points. Remaining matches will be quite exciting one to watch as we will find out whether Pakistan can keep up this aggressive play and remain in lead of other teams.

Well.. this puts Pakistan in a spot. They won the first match against the Afghanistan Under-19s by a small margin (1 wicket) and now they need to share points with Zimbabwe. This means that their spot for the final is still not guaranteed. If they win their next match, then it will be more or less guaranteed BTW. Sameer Minhas proved to be the star for Pakistan once again. He is the same player who scored a 172 against India, during the final of the Under-19s Asia Cup. And the surprising fact is that he is yet to play first-class cricket. I am sure that the PSL franchises and the PCB selectors are noticing his performance.

Pakistan u19 is really doing phenomenal and I am damn sure these talented will surprise Indian at upcoming world cup too after demolishing them at Asia cup final recently. the way Sameer minhas were performing he can be the new era in Pakistani batting for future as mostly Pakistan produce quality pacer to rock the world cricket, but now thugs were shaping differently. Minhas can make a huge name if get golden hand of PCB under quality management to polish his skills for modern day cricket obstacles. Anyway against Zimbabwe at tri series minhas showed his class but unfortunately rain intruption runied thier hard work and thus match ended with no results.

Tomorrow is the forth match of the Tri Nation series and it is set to play between Afghanistan Under 19s and Zimbabwe Under 19s at Harare. It is an important game for the Afghanistan as well as Zimbabwe team.

As the Pakistan under-19 team is at the top of the table with three points, Zimbabwe is in second place, and Afghanistan is at the bottom of the table with just a single point. Afghanistan would have been in second place if the rain had not disrupted their first game where they were about to win that match, but let's see if they have potential so they can easily win tomorrow once again. Also on 2nd Jan, they will face the Pakistan Under 19s team.

The Pakistani Under-19 team has been in good form since they defeated the Indian Under-19 team in the final match of the Asia Cup and if we look at this Tri-Nation series too, they have been performing well in one match after another, although unfortunately their match against Zimbabwe had to end without any result due to rain. Still, it is understood that the Pakistani Under-19 team would have won that match.
And then if we calculate then of course we have to put Afghanistan Under 19 team ahead here because they are a slightly stronger team than Zimbabwe Under 19 team. And from this point of view I think Afghanistan Under 19 team is more likely to win tomorrow's match.

This was bad for Pakistan Under 19 because the runs they made with their hard work and effort were enough strong and victorious. Obviously, Pakistan Under 19 made a strong target for Zimbabwe Under 19 with full preparation for defeat, but due to rain in the last they could not victory. Minas a capable batsman of Pakistan Under 19 is playing very well in every match and due to his hard work, this target became enough strong. Zimbabwe Under 19 is lucky that they will survive this match to some extent. Pakistan Under 19 batsmen have not been careless in this they have lost 7 wickets, but their target became enough strong and this hard work and strength will make them successful while playing in every match. This hard work of Pakistan Under 19 will make them very strong in this series and these batsmen of Pakistan Under 19 are also enough capable and good to play internationally.

In Tri Nation series Pakistan U19s, Zimbabwe U19s and Afghanistan U19s, 4 th game was concluded between Afghanistan U19s team and Zimbabwe U19s team. Afghanistan U19s team performed very poor in past game and in 4 th game, again their batsmen showed worst effort and lost game. Zimbabwe U19s team set 186 runs target only in 50 overs by losing all wickets. This was very easy win that Afghanistan missed and target was easy and bowlers had given lot of support but all their efforts went to waste. Dhruv batsmen helped team in batting and he scored 60 runs in 76 balls and hitted six 4s and one 6s. Webster effort was very helpful and he took down 3 wickets in 8 overs and gave 20 runs. Afghanistan U19s team chased down 166 runs only and lost game by 19 runs. Congratulations Zimbabwe U19s team for win and best wishes to next game. Afghanistan played two games and both they lost.

Pak U19 cricket team is very strong because they got full batter and we didn't see that kind of player in the last 10 years in the Pak team and he is future talent of Pak cricket And if he will play well then he will be in the Pak A team and also in the Pak International cricket team and Pak U19 team could win this match one sided because they were very strong when they gave big target in this match. Ali Raza is excellent bowler of Pak U19 who could play well in this match. Pak U19 cricket team should prepare and they should not be egoistic if they want to achieve anything in their life because we saw many talented players but they were egoistic and could not exist for long time .

Today match was between Afghanistan Under 19 and Zimbabwe Under 19 which was the fourth match in which Zimbabwe was sitting at the first position in which their player Nathaniel Hlabangana played 14 ball but the score was one. Their next player Dhruv Patel scored 60 run. The rest of the player who played with him also supported him a lot and played well which allowed them to easily achieve the target of 188 runs in 50 over. But when the other team, which is Afghanistan Under-19, Mahboob Khan scored 49 runs but the rest of the players did not support him, which weakened the team. They achieved the given target in a good way and the way this match was going, it was clear that the bowling of the other team was quite heavy on them, that's why all their players were out in 40 overs and five balls and they faced failure in this match. Zimbabwe Under-19s won.

It's huge upset of the tri series because if we have a look at Afghanistan u19 previous matches especially against Pakistan u19 they were looking much stronger side and were almost on the verge to defeat Asian champions, but somehow Pakistan mange to get the dominance, well the main deprivation I observe Afghanistan batting is facing lack of consistency which results in they struggle at crucial situation, although after winning toss they can even score 250 but when it come to pressure mounting situation I mean chased they failed to overcome the situation and collapse hardly, congratulations to Zimbabwe for heroic win.
