Not sure how true this is
Pakistan’s U19 won a crucial match today against Zimbabwe in the U19 WC to qualify for the next round. However there is some more Genius stuff to it
Pakistani team was cruising at 66/1 in 10. However, they slowed down to chase the remaing 63 runs in 16.2 overs and there is a smart reason behind that. The decision not to finish the chase too early was a technical and calculated move. As per the U19 World Cup rules, teams carry forward both points and Net Run Rate only against the teams that qualify with them to the next round.
This means that if Zimbabwe qualifies alongside Pakistan, this result and its NRR will be carried forward into the Super Six stage; however, if Scotland qualifies instead, then Pakistan’s earlier match and NRR against Scotland will be carried forward. That’s why NRR management in this game was important, not just winning, but winning smartly, as these numbers can directly impact Pakistan’s chances later in the tournament. Now Pak and Zim qualified for the next round, and Scotland are out of the U19 World Cup

The Mastermind behind this Smart move was ofcourse SARFARAZ AHMED
