Australia (276/7) defeat Pakistan (157) by 119 runs to win the Super League QF of ICC U19 World Cup

[Rana]

If Haseebullah can score runs here, it means that it’s a belter of a track

 

[Rana]

Against Afghanistan I noticed that these boys love playing pace.

I don’t know how many spinners Australia have but one or two may not be enough

 

[PakPremi]

That shot by Shazad confirms belter of outfield. Hassebullah looks a handy player, he kept wickets well today. Let's hope he scores well too.

 

[Rana]

Shazzy boy can play

 

[Rana]

And out!

 

[Savak]

An U 19 player should not be judged. A lot of the players are not good enough at that stage but have drastically improved with time. On the other hand many exciting prospects who start off with a bang have ended up becoming average in the long run.

 

[Azzurri]

Tuk Tuk faseeh in

 

[shamaan]

That is some poor judgement by shahzad

 

[shaaik]

That is some poor judgement by shahzad

He shd hv rather played the shot then to try to leave it so late..

 

[PakPremi]

Pakistani batsmen need to play more composed, 50 overs is a long time. You do not want your tailenders batting for 20 overs

 

[Omer2002]

Our battera look rabbits against pace..scared stifff with no technique..atleast show some fight

 

[shamaan]

He shd hv rather played the shot then to try to leave it so late..

Their was no conviction either fully leave or fully play.

 

[Saj]

Haseeb unhappy with that decision.

Looked like a bad call by the umpire.

 

[shamaan]

You could tell that it wasn't out even the keeper didn't go up til late.

 

[PakPremi]

As usual Pakistan playing against 14.

 

[nextover666666]

The problem is their is no DRS in this tourney if im not mistaken, the pitch is good for batting but our weak batting line up can maybe chase 130 max nothing more.

 

[shaaik]

Haseeb unhappy with that decision.

Looked like a bad call by the umpire.

Awful call from the umpire. The keeper didn’t even appeal ..

 

[Rana]

The competitive Pakistan white ball teams of the past may have not been convincing against good pace, but they would make up by tackling spin well in the middle overs.

I have been able to say this convincingly for the current players coming through since the past 5 years

 

[Rana]

Looks like Pakistan has found a new Misbah in Irfan

 

[Ahmed216]

How will irfan khan ever score runs with that backlift?

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Was that out?

 

[Bewal Express]

Faseeh looks like he has something. He looks very young and will develop

 

[Ahmed216]

Of all the Pak batsmen faseeh i think is fundamentally the best

 

[Rana]

This is good intent by Pakistan

They are not chasing this by looking to just put away bad balls

 

[Rana]

Of all the Pak batsmen faseeh i think is fundamentally the best

Yes, and he is trying to adapt today so that’s good to see.

 

[Rana]

Irfan Khan is 100% Misbah ul Haq

Even Swann pointed this out

 

[shamaan]

Of all the Pak batsmen faseeh i think is fundamentally the best

He proberly has a good chance to present Pakistan in future in tests.

 

[PakPremi]

Irfan Khan is 100% Misbah ul Haq

Even Swann pointed this out

Yeah looks like him under helmet.

 

[Rana]

Too much tuk tuk by Irfan

 

[shamaan]

Irfan Khan is showing no intent at all.

 

[PakPremi]

Don't mind Irfan anchoring one end as long runs are coming at good pace.

 

[Savak]

An U19 PSL is a good idea by Ramiz. In addition to opening up new revenue streams for the PCB, it can potentially provide good exposure to the U19 boys on the big stage and highlight them more.

 

[Azzurri]

What is irfan thinking?

 

[Ahmed216]

Some poor umpiring going on

 

[Rana]

That’s two wides in a row let off

 

[Rana]

Two anchors at the crease on a flat deck

Both are not trying to look for boundaries

 

[Rana]

Don’t think Australia has any spinners

Pakistan would have to be extremely poor to lose this

 

[shamaan]

Irfan khan is such a poor player

 

[Saj]

Pakistan's innings going nowhere at the moment.

No singles, no intent.

 

[Rana]

This is nothing bowling on a nothing track yet these boys are struggling to get the ball away from the inner circle

Who is coaching this??

 

[Rana]

At least 3 wides not called by the umpires

 

[Ahmed216]

Pakistan's innings going nowhere at the moment.

No singles, no intent.

Irfan too is a niazi from mianwali like Misbah

 

[Azzurri]

This is absolutely non sense batting. They need to score or get out

 

[Saj]

Looking at the make-up of the Pakistani batters so far, they look more suited to playing against spinners. They've struggled today against the pace and extra bounce.

 

[Duckworth Lewis]

That was a terrific delivery to get rid of Irfan.

 

[shamaan]

Once again Sadaqat being made to bat down the order.

 

[Azzurri]

The not so impressive was I’m on the crease

 

[Bewal Express]

Misbah gone. Feast or famine with this guy

 

[Mainul]

Pakistan will loose today I think . Pakistan's future doesn't look good with bad performances at under 19 level.

 

[castortroy]

Pak losing to auz in a world Cup knockout match.

No surprises there

 

[Rana]

4 wides not called

 

[Omer2002]

What a waste of space that parchi was...blocked so many balls he did..i dnt think aussies have used any spinners at all ..serves ijaz right

 

[shamaan]

Is Ijaz one of the worst coaches ever ?

 

[PakPremi]

Pak losing to auz in a world Cup knockout match.

No surprises there

With contribution from umpiring apart from bad captaincy by Qasim.

 

[shamaan]

What the heck stil no Sadaqat

 

[Rana]

Terrible choice to bowl first

 

[Ahmed216]

Pakistan will loose today I think . Pakistan's future doesn't look good with bad performances at under 19 level.

Bangladesh won the last u-19 world cup. Do i need to say more

 

[Ahmed216]

Is Ijaz one of the worst coaches ever ?

Coach doesnt know the basics of cricket. The best way to stem the flow of runs is by picking wickets. Absolutely no intent to pick wickets in middle overs in all the matches

 

[Rana]

Another tuk tuk

 

[shamaan]

Coach doesnt know the basics of cricket. The best way to stem the flow of runs is by picking wickets. Absolutely no intent to pick wickets in middle overs in all the matches

That's just one of the many blunders he has made.

Maaz is a proper batsmen but he's made to bat 8/9
They only had 1 genuine pacer no back up pacer.
They played no mystery spinner.

 

[nextover666666]

People told me i was worrying for nothing like i said this weak batting line up cannot score more than 130 runs. 220 was me being optomistic. If Pak really wanted a chance to win, they would have to bowl Aussie out to 100. Which was never going to Happen. Only chance we really stood was batting first.

 

[zarak]

Coach doesnt know the basics of cricket. The best way to stem the flow of runs is by picking wickets. Absolutely no intent to pick wickets in middle overs in all the matches

this abbas guy shouldnt have played. Should have played the wrist spinner instead.

 

[Rana]

What is this fascination of bowling first in big games for Pakistan?

All that will happen is Australia will score 220-250 even if Pakistan has a good day in the field, and then Pakistan will struggle to chase down the score

Absolutely ruined my day

It’s been downhill since

 

[shamaan]

Selfish Ahmad

 

[Ahmed216]

Australia are miles ahead in terms of talent.

 

[shah_1]

Ijaz Ahmed should be sacked after this tournament. He has no vision for modern cricket.

No wrist spinners, top order batsman batting at 7. Horrible coach

 

[shah_1]

Ijaz Ahmed was a room mate of Wasim Akram. There were reports that Wasim Akram got him employed.

Screw you Wasim Khan.

 

[Savak]

Ijaz Ahmed was a room mate of Wasim Akram. There were reports that Wasim Akram got him employed.

Screw you Wasim Khan.

The PCB preferred Ijaz over the likes of Saqlain (Who asked for a high salary) and Younis Khan (who asked for extra powers and salary)

 

[shah_1]

The PCB preferred Ijaz over the likes of Saqlain (Who asked for a high salary) and Younis Khan (who asked for extra powers and salary)

Wasim Khan had no vision. Incompetent

 

[Rana]

They start batting well as soon as they are positive

 

[Rana]

Mehran is a proper find

 

[sweep_shot]

Why did Pakistan bowl first? That was a blunder.

Bat first. Put on a big score. Choke the opposition. That should've been the strategy.

 

[Savak]

Wasim Khan had no vision. Incompetent

I remember at the time in an interview when asked that it was Ehsan Mani's decision who refused to offer the position a higher wage and powers therefore his hands were tied.

 

[ElRaja]

Pakistan will loose today I think . Pakistan's future doesn't look good with bad performances at under 19 level.

on the contrary, you only need one or two players in each u19 cycle to be good, both faseeh and mehran are good players, but this is not their format.

 

[IAJ]

The only interesting thing in this match is how similar the Aussie captain is to Erling Haaland

 

[Savak]

Am pretty sure Ramiz will send Ijaz packing as a result of this debacle. Ijaz has now supervised 2 U19 WC failures.

 

[sweep_shot]

Dominating win from Australia. I expect Australia to go to final too.

 

[MenInG]

 

[Rana]

Am pretty sure Ramiz will send Ijaz packing as a result of this debacle. Ijaz has now supervised 2 U19 WC failures.

But he needs to slash the cash to hire the right kind of coach

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

I guess Australia's World Cup knock-out dominance over Pakistan extends to U-19 World Cups too now.
