India (252) thrash Pakistan (194) by 58 runs in match 38 of ICC Men's U19 World Cup 2026

[Sachin fan]

Bit disappointing that they didnt even try. Such mentality carries when you get into the senior team

 

[Devadwal]

Any team would have go for target to qualify for semi but Pakistan is full of mental midget.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Yaar, why play this tuk tuk to win match in the end...is'nt qualification more imp....
surprising....whats the point of winning like this...if this was India batting - the press would lamblast them - better to be 150 AO in 20 ov whilst trying to win and qualifying ...
and that being said...i don't see our guys winning this WC....
we just dont have the quality..our bowling is pathetic pop gun

 

[emranabbas]

Indian obsession is next level even in under 19's jay shah put both India and Pakistan in same group.

 

[Devadwal]

Indian obsession is next level even in under 19's jay shah put both India and Pakistan in same group.

Forget india - Pakistan wasn't in same group, they are qualified for super - 6 round.

 

[Theo_14]

So if Pakistan win, they don’t go through?

 

[Sachin fan]

Bro this is u19 cricket, not national team. They are not developed cricketers yet.

Focus should be to enjoy the game.

Exactly

There is no such thing as meaningless win.

But there is such a thing as meaningless loss - i.e throwing things away to chase the impossible.

What would anyone gain from that?

Keep in mind that such mentality carries onwards to when they are in the senior team. Playing for milestones or meaningless things is not a habit you want youngsters to develop.

The habit should be, try for win no matter what.

You are teaching them a habit of - if it's tough, don't try and just give up.

[amvbfm]

Really don’t like this approach. And tempted to believe the team management has a hand in this. Would Pakistan have preferred a win over qualification if this game had been against a different opposition? I think not.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Maybe India is saving its best for the knockout games.

That’s my excuse for today’s defeat and I will stick to that.

 

[globetrotter]

Agree, this is medicore bunch of india U-19 but kick out Pakistan from World Cup is beautiful to watch.

Don't think this is best India U-19 team... there are many talented players

Just need 100 runs from 5 overs to do it.

 

[Fast bowler6929]

They should have gone for it but I wouldn't want to lose against India of all teams.

They have beaten india 4 times in last 5 matches.

 

[PakFan2010]

Beating India is more important than winning the tournament.

 

[emranabbas]

Forget india - Pakistan wasn't in same group, they are qualified for super - 6 round.

good to see you enjoy the India Pakistan game while almost every Pakistani is watching Pak vs Australia

 

[Human786]

151/3

We are just about to kick out Pakistan from World Cup.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Farhan gone.

This looks like a huge ground because it was hit well I thought

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

....

 

[globetrotter]

Any team would have go for target to qualify for semi but Pakistan is full of mental midget.

May be as per Naqvi advised them to play like this.... even if they not qualify, Naqvi have Asia cup to handover to them

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Indian obsession is next level even in under 19's jay shah put both India and Pakistan in same group.

Typical 'doosron ki saazish' obsession is still top of the all time pops, rules minds that they cannot see both teams were in different groups when tournament started...

 

[saimayubera]

good to see you enjoy the India Pakistan game while almost every Pakistani is watching Pak vs Australia

They will watch the senior team losing on the 15th

Win in 33 overs was not possible especially when Sameer got out. It is not Brian Lara cricket. You have to assess the situation and environment and then make a choice.

 

[Vikram1989]

Sarfaraz must have said that he will declare the innings at 33.3 overs deadline what ever may happen. This is babar/root/kl level coward innigs.

 

[Sachin fan]

Indian obsession is next level even in under 19's jay shah put both India and Pakistan in same group.

They were not in the same group, what are you babbling about?

 

[khyberlion]

With both Usman and tailender Usman. This game is in India's pocket.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Win in 33 overs was not possible especially when Sameer got out. It is not Brian Lara cricket. You have to assess the situation and environment and then make a choice.

Naah bro....
if Aus/Eng/Ind/Saf were in same scenario....you can bet they would have gone for it - or perished at 175 AO or so in 22 overs...

 

[Sachin fan]

Win in 33 overs was not possible especially when Sameer got out. It is not Brian Lara cricket. You have to assess the situation and environment and then make a choice.

It's not possible if you give up and not try. I can guarantee, england, Australia and india would have tried for the target regardless of the chance of losing.

Youngsters should be the most fearless in sports, pakistan is teaching their youngsters the wrong lessons.

 

[Bhaijaan]

It’s out yar.

 

[globetrotter]

That's clearly run out.... how could be that not out

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Naah bro....
if Aus/Eng/Ind/Saf were in same scenario....you can bet they would have gone for it - or perished at 175 AO or so in 22 overs...

No chance at u19 level.

Most of these guys will not represent their country again.

In senior level yes absolutely you must go for it.

 

[globetrotter]

3rd umpire clearly favoring Pakistan

 

[Vikram1989]

4th wicket

Indians are historically biggest stat padders I am not sure why you are giving this guarantee. We have seen careers of Sachin etc.

Aus or South Africa maybe at senior level.

But at u19 level I haven't seen something like this done before.

 

[Devadwal]

Hahahaha , dropped catches, Umpire favour yet about to kick out from the World Cup.

 

[khyberlion]

Never seen a worse batsmen at our u19s level then Ahmed Hussain.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Never seen a worse batsmen at our u19s level then Ahmed Hussain.

I still don't understand why they never batted first. Match was basically lost there and then. No chance of this week batting line up achieving anything

 

[Hellion]

Following in the footsteps of guys like Inzi these lads.

 

[sweep_shot]

I still don't understand why they never batted first. Match was basically lost there and then. No chance of this week batting line up achieving anything

Agree. Should've batted first.

Easier to defend in Bulayawo.

Anyway, they should still win but are not qualifying for the semi.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

No chance at u19 level.

Most of these guys will not represent their country again.

In senior level yes absolutely you must go for it.

but that is exactly the point. If they had gone for it and won -they would be absolute heroes...
If they went for it and got somewhat close but did'nt win....the whole world would still take notice
u 19 or not - its a great stage to announce oneself...

 

[Devadwal]

We Just officially kick out Pakistan from the tournament.

 

[Blackbradman]

Nice little innings 11 balls 2 runs. Good Baloch.

 

[Devadwal]

If India lose

india vs australia semifinals, Afghanistan vs England

If India won ( chance are very slim)

Australia vs England , india vs Afghanistan

 

[sweep_shot]

Nice little innings 11 balls 2 runs. Good Baloch.

This is not junk IPL. This is ODI. Also, pitch is sluggish.

Why don't you go out there and bat? Let's see how many runs you score in how many balls.

 

[Vikram1989]

Keep this Baloch guy till the end.cant even rotate the strike.

 

[aqua99]

The outcome of this match dictates next game for India.

If India loses, they play AUS in Semis. If not, they play against AFG.

 

[Vikram1989]

Usman gone

 

[Bhaijaan]

If India lose

india vs australia semifinals, Afghanistan vs England

If India won ( chance are very slim)

Australia vs England , india vs Afghanistan

England is winning the whole thing bro

 

[Devadwal]

Usman gone. 168/5

 

[m.shah]

Bit disappointing that they didnt even try. Such mentality carries when you get into the senior team

Hardly anyone from this lot will play domestic

 

[sweep_shot]

If India loses, they play AUS in Semis. If not, they play against AFG.

Would love Aussies to knock India out so that we can enjoy a relaxing final.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Anchor Usman gone after a legendary knock of 66 (92)

Well played dear

Hope you make it to Pakistan senior team dear.

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Big inside edge, both ump and commie are blind

 

[Devadwal]

Hahahaha , dropped catches, Umpire favour yet about to kick out from the World Cup.

Big inside edge, both ump and commie are blind

Where was you hiding?

 

[m.shah]

Baloch 2 of 16. Which game is he playing

 

[sweep_shot]

Big inside edge, both ump and commie are blind

World Cups are rigged nowadays.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Required rate now 6

 

[Devadwal]

Keep this Baloch guy till the end.cant even rotate the strike.

Baloch Bhai apna hi. Aram se .

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Anchor Usman gone after a legendary knock of 66 (92)

Well played dear

Hope you make it to Pakistan senior team dear.

Your anchor 68 off 98 was much superior, hope he goes on to help your ailing ODI team.

 

[NishanKonar]

Will be interesting to know whose decision it was to go for a win instead of qualification

Sarfaraz Ahmed or Mohsin Naqvi ?

 

[Bhaijaan]

Big inside edge, both ump and commie are blind

Look what India is doing dear @sweep_shot

 

[khyberlion]

I still don't understand why they never batted first. Match was basically lost there and then. No chance of this week batting line up achieving anything

Brainless management. They would have played with a lot more freedom.

 

[m.shah]

Will be interesting to know whose decision it was to go for a win instead of qualification

Sarfaraz Ahmed or Mohsin Naqvi ?

Shehbaz Sharif.. watch' out for his tweet if Pakistan wins this

 

[Devadwal]

Will be interesting to know whose decision it was to go for a win instead of qualification

Sarfaraz Ahmed or Mohsin Naqvi ?

Yes , They didn't even tried after 1st wicket. Atleast they should have target the PP then see where things was stand.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Baloch bhai 3 from 18

 

[Hellion]

Baloch bhai 3 from 18

Baloch RAW agent?

 

[Bhaijaan]

Usually, the bowling team wins from these situations in under 19 cricket

 

[BreadPakoda]

Shouldn’t have got him out

 

[Devadwal]

Kya yar baloch Bhai ko out nahi karna tha. Apna hi Banda hai.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Baloch bhai gone for 3(20)

He tried his best but we spun a web around him brother.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Umpire - saazish by bccicci...
Thankfully we lost the toss..
.nahi to - taas ke kaeen coin mein chip hai would have been ringing here ...

 

[BaankeJi]

WTH and *** to coaching and management of Pak u19. What values they are trying to instill? That just do stat pad and not worry about anything else?

 

[Devadwal]

Our Dhurandhar is gone. Damn

 

[Vikram1989]

Keep this Baloch guy till the end.cant even rotate the strike.

Damn.he is gone. unnecessary brain fade from indian team.

 

[globetrotter]

172-6 Pakistan..... India have a chance to beat Pakistan

 

[sweep_shot]

2 quick wickets. Blow for Pakistan.

81 to win from 78 balls. 4 wickets in hand.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Your anchor 68 off 98 was much superior, hope he goes on to help your ailing ODI team.

Ok aunty ji
