74/1 in 16 - IND boys in trouble !!!

 

[Human786]

89/1 in 18 - imo AFG19 can defend 240+ .

I don't mind Afghanistan win here. They are already playing the semifinal and reaching in the final is pure Gold for them .

After all Afghanistan is 2nd best team from Asia in tournaments

 

[Human786]

260+ def on from here ... 116/1 in 24 .
27 year young Faisal 41 from 36 !

 

[Human786]

[Human786]

Afghans are doing well.

AFG - 175/2 (36 overs).

 

[sweep_shot]

AFG - 198/2 (39.3 overs).

If Afghans can reach 300, I think they can defend this. They have good spinners.

 

[sweep_shot]

AFG - 242/2 (44 overs).

Faisal Shinozada earlier got his century. Well played.

 

[Human786]

This game is over . 242/2 in 44 . The 27 year old [ being kinder ] has scored a ton .

This would've been a winning total in Bulawayo. But, this is Harare.

Harare is flatter.

I don't think game is over yet.

 

[sweep_shot]

AFG - 289/3 (47.4 overs).

300+ should be a great total. Afghans have a good chance of going to final now.

 

[Rajdeep]

How good is Afghanistan?

I will not be surprised if the win this U19 WC

 

[hamzie]

lol this indian fielding

 

[hamzie]

uzair doesnt look under 19 though lol

 

[sweep_shot]

uzair doesnt look under 19 though lol

Many of their players don't look U19.

Anyway, as long as they beat India, I can overlook that.

 

[sweep_shot]

Afghanistan finish at 310/4.

India need 311 to win.

Afghans are favorites now.

 

[Human786]

Target 311

 

[Devadwal]

Doens't matter for US. I personally prefer Australia because defeating Australia is most satisfying things as they are beast team.

Btw Afghanistan is favourite against India in semifinal.

No, not by any stretch of imagination ...

@Human786 I told you Afghanistan is favourite , but I don't mind them if they win it.

 

[IAJ]

Well done Afghanistan

Now over to the bowlers, and more importantly fielders. You will have to take your chances.

 

[IAJ]

Well I mentioned earlier AFG needs to take their chances and have already dropped the dangerman

 

[Rajdeep]

Well I mentioned earlier AFG needs to take their chances and have already dropped the dangerman

Hws that a drop?

 

[sweep_shot]

Well I mentioned earlier AFG needs to take their chances and have already dropped the dangerman

That was an easy catch. Should've been taken.

 

[Rajdeep]

I have zero confidence in Suryavanshi. Like other Surya i.e Surya Kumar Yadav, this Suryavanshi guy is a hack as well.

No way he is a hack. Poor shot selection. But he has solid defense , gun bat swing. But he tries to hit every single ball. That i where the problem is.
