2020 U19 Cricket World Cup - January/February

Fantastic game and a brilliant comeback by NZ. West Indies will be devastated to be going out after such a close finish.

This is turning out to be a fantastic game too, between South Africa and Bangladesh.

Now if only the likes of Buttler, Hales and Sodhi were to receive something similar...

To say Pakistan are in a good position would be an understatement. They should go onto win the match comfortably, but you just never know with Pakistan. Especially when they're chasing.

Absolutely correct! You never know what happens when Pakistan is chasing. Muhammad Shahzad, Haider Ali Khan and Rohail Nazir have all the responsibilities as they just haven't got a big score in the WC. Haider and Rohail are the backbone of this batting lineup.There is no doubt that they are very talented but they need to prove it with a big score

Tahir Hussain, Qasim Akram and Fahad Munir look like very good prospects for the future.

A big shame that there is no speed gun. Ijaz Ahmed (Pak U19 Coach) said that Amir Khan bowls upto 147 kph. It didn't look like he would be that quick. He was bowling with a below average runup but has a very good and repeatable action. His bowling action reminds me a bit of Jofra Archer

Fukcin' hell they're making a mountain out of a molehill. [DOUBLEPOST=1580477958][/DOUBLEPOST]In all fairness, that last wicket was a mankad though.

Shukar, bach gaye.

Now hopefully the India-Pakistan semi-final isn't as one-sided as the senior World Cup games between those two sides.

And the last thing we would want to see is Inshallah boys played well! (by Rohail Nazir or someone else)

Shoaib Malik's nephew Muhammad Huraira looks like a very good and compact player. He is only 17 and was playing his first International U19 game yesterday. He has been the top scorer of the recent domestic U19 tournaments, and scored 950 runs at an average of 95 and strike rate of 112, in the last 10 games.

His public speaking was very good too yesterday, in the press conference and presentation ceremony. He has excellent confidence and speaks good English too. I know that his first job is to be a good player, but good communication skills are just an added bonus.

Now hoping for a cracker of a game in the semi-final and hopefully Pakistan wins it.

Have you seen the last few posts about Sodhi, Butler, Hales and the Australian U19 team? Because, oh the irony!

This is what Irks me a lot.... Mostly from the Indian people mocking Pakistani players English considering majority of the players from both countries comes from a humble background.
