Pakistan U-19s are one of the favorites to win this edition of the ICC Men's Under-19 World Cup. To give credit to Scotland Under-19s, they gave a good fight and kept the match alive till the very end. First, they managed to post a decent total of 187. Their captain Thomas Knight made a patient 37, while Ollie Jones and Finlay Jones also made 30s. They could have got to 200, but lost too many wickets towards the end. But the most impressive performance from the Scots came while they were bowling. Pakistan won with just 6 overs to spare. Ollie Jones was again the pick of the bowlers with 10-0-41-2. Remember that Pakistan squad had heavyweight batsmen such as Sameer Minhas and Ali Hassan Baloch.

Last time we saw the Pakistan team lose to England and struggled, but finally, this time, somehow, they played well against Scotland and are slowly coming back in the World Cup and are now in second place in the points table. They just have to beat Zimbabwe now and they will go for the next stages of the World Cup. The next game is also crucial for Pakistan as an upset and loss can put them out of the World Cup.

Let's see how Pakistan progress in the next game on 22, waiting excitedly for it.

Let's see how Pakistan progress in the next game on 22, waiting excitedly for it. 

Following early loss against England, Under-19 Pakistani team has now come back strongly in 2026 World Cup with 6 wickets victory over Scotland to be placed second in group C.

Bowler Ali Raza and batsman Usman Khan helped much to the team and though they are already in good positions to move on to Super Six stage, their next match against Zimbabwe on January 22nd is one that will help them gain speed. Host nation, which is facing Harare, will be hard task, and as top three teams in group move forward, Pakistan must win to bring more points into next round and not struggle to reach semi finals.

I think that they can only succeed by remaining steady, players in team will need to use local conditions and Usman Khan must keep his excellent performance, which will enable team to easily reach next round.

PAk 19 team all players were eager to chase the win and put immense effort for it. Scotland Under19 posted target of 187 runs. Its too low due to Pakistani bowling and Feidling strategy.

I will say here that even though the bowlers of the Pakistani Under-19 team performed very well, we did not see the performance of the Pakistani batsmen as good as we expected. Even though they won with 6 wickets in hand, since it took 43 overs, I am saying that their performance was not as good as I expected. I thought that the Pakistani Under-19 team would complete the target of 188 runs against the Scotland Under-19 team in just 35 overs, but they put up 43.1 overs.

Pakistan u19 were doing quite well although they lose again English by small margin but still Pakistan were considered no doubt a strong contender to head into semifinals Atleast and then will move on rest. It's true that one of thier main runs machine Arafat Minhas failed several times to show his magic just like he does in his recent vital back to back matches which results in they find it difficult to tackle such big obstacles to clear thier way to be the champ. Anyway against Scotland minhas once again failed but Usman and Hussain lead from the front alongside captain and thus secure handsome points.

A very exciting match is underway between New Zealand and Bangladesh. Both teams are strong and have the ability to give each other a tough time. Spectators are very anxious about the final result. New Zealand batted first, and the match was progressing well. Bangladesh managed to take one wicket early, but Hugo Bogue and Tom Jones are currently at the crease. New Zealand has scored 52 runs so far. However, rain interrupted the match, and play had to be stopped. Everyone is now waiting for news about when the rain will stop. Let’s see what the final result will be.

Scotland U-19 cricket team was all out at just 183 runs which was not a handsome score for that match . Century should be from the team which want to win against any team and we saw no century and that was a reason Scotland U-19 team lose at the end of the match. Usman Khan played important role for the team when he made  75 runs in this match by using only 85 runs in this match.  He hit 2 sixes and 5 fours in this match . Hussain performance was also good in this match because he made 47 runs in this match when it was need in the middle overs . Pak U19 team was favorite in this match because that team has good players but Scotland U19 team can win the match by doing great effort in this match but they have to  their game.

Australia Under-19 Vs Japan Under-19

Well as expected mighty Aussies continue his routine to be in green regardless of age against unfamiliar side from a long time from cricketing world named japanese u19, However they scored fine and deliver out of the box performance but still unable to catch the undisputed side. H. Kelly alongside his teammates played fine innings and shockingly even scored above 200 which wasn't expecting though, as lack of experience were creating huge barrier for them to be restricted against one of fine team of the tournament. While Aussies just with loss of two get the required with handosme topnotch century from Malajczuk and retain second spot at thier group standing after Sirilankan due to net run rate.

Century should be from the team which want to win against any team and we saw no century and that was a reason Scotland U-19 team lose at the end of the match. Usman Khan played important role for the team when he made  75 runs in this match by using only 85 runs in this match.  He hit 2 sixes and 5 fours in this match . Hussain performance was also good in this match because he made 47 runs in this match when it was need in the middle overs . Pak U19 team was favorite in this match because that team has good players but Scotland U19 team can win the match by doing great effort in this match but they have to  their game.

In this match, both sides played hard and poorly which is why they were able to give such a low target. Pakistan Under 19 played very well and bowled hard and Scotland Under 19 played weakly and failed due to their carelessness opposite hard balls. If their batsmen played well and worked hard they would have had a good and strong target in their entire innings, but they did not make much of a target by playing incorrectly, due to which no batsman could score more runs. Pakistan Under 19 has put in a very good effort and this hard work will make them very successful and strong, but they failed in the match against England Under 19. If they succeed in this league too, they will become very strong and they will also learn to play well against every team.

Australia19 vs Japan19

Australia U19 became first team to officially get to play in Super Six stage by beating Japan U19 by eight wickets in Windhoek. Best part of game was Will Malajczuk who hit fastest century of his life with his hundred taking him only 51 balls, and finally going on to get 102 to see Australia to chase of 202 in less than 30 overs. However, loss gave Japan good name in terms of batting through the 50 overs of their play, which was strong and led by Hugo Tani-Kelly who followed his earlier century with brave, not out 79 runs. Although Australia is already safe pick, Japan still has chance to move forward if they beat Ireland in last group game because only last place in group will be thrown out in Super Six race.

Looks like Sri Lanka and Australia will qualify from Group A, as both of them have 4 points each. India, England and Afghanistan are the other teams who have managed to qualify. In Group B, it looks like Bangladesh may qualify ahead of New Zealand (in case India defeats the Kiwis in their last group phase match). Pakistan maybe the second team from Group C, while in Group D it will be a direct fight between West Indies and South Africa for the second spot. Coming to yesterday's match, Will Malajczuk was outstanding. He scored 102 from just 55 balls. In the first match against Ireland, he couldn't get to a big score.

It was a really enjoyable game between Pakistan Under-19 and Scotland Under-19 in the Men's Under-19 World Cup. Best game plan and aggressive batting, in today's match to be seen from the side of Pakistan. Usman Khan played a very classical and defensive inning while chasing the target. He was in good touch and contributed 75 runs in total and the target was 188 runs. Target seems to be easy but actually it's not an easy target to chase but Pakistan completed it  just before 6.5 overs left. Scotland seems to be good in early overs but after opening couples other gay began losing their wickets early on and not a single long partnership to be seen which turns the game in favor of Pakistan. Scotland also showing  poor bowling and utilized there premiere bowlers in a best way that's why Pakistan easily chase the target and won the game.

Japan U-19 cricket team could not win last match because they don't deserve that kind of win and they made only 201 score in this match and opponent team was in good form as we know that Australia U19 team is very strong team and they hit very well from the start and Will Malajczuk was a person who was dominant in this match and he made 102 runs in just 55 balls and played with strike rate of 185 in this match and he hit 5 sixes and 12 fours in this match. Cooray was a only good bowler of this match who took 3 important wickets in this match. Samuel was not out in this game at the end of the match because he was a in form batter and played for the team not only for himself And he hit 4 fours in this match.

It seems that making a prediction here will not be too difficult because Pakistan U-19 team is a stronger team than Zimbabwe U-19 team. It is not only in batting but in both batting and bowling, Pakistan U-19 team is doing much better than Zimbabwe U-19 team and besides, in most of the matches that have been played against Zimbabwe U-19 team, Pakistan U-19 team has been seen to have a very terrible batting performance and in terms of bowling too, we have seen in the ODI series that Zimbabwe U-19 team was all out for just 158 ​​runs.

So I can believe with a lot of certainty that Pakistan U-19 team is going to beat Zimbabwe U-19 team in this match.

Sri Lanka Vs England

Today Sri Lanka and England play in first ODI at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, and it is big new beginning for both teams after recent series losses. Spin friendly weather in Colombo will be big part, and will place much of weight on England hitters in match to top spinners of Sri Lanka such as Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana.

As Harry Brook leads attacking English team that has stars such as Joe Root and Jos Buttler, captain of the Sri Lankan team, Charith Asalanka, plans at saving great home record that team has on ground where they have recently beaten top teams. And here I think England is little bit stronger as Compare to Sri Lanka so they can win this match.
