ICC U19 Men's Cricket World Cup 2026 - Discussion thread [From January 15 - February 06]

[Human786]

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

 

[Human786]

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

 

[Devadwal]

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]

116/2

 

[Human786]

130/2 in 28 ... sad performence by I19 .

 

[Devadwal]

130/2 in 28 ... sad performence by I19 .

Relex karo. Kyu itna tension le rahe ho.

 

[sweep_shot]

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 .

 

[sweep_shot]

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.

 

[Devadwal]

Hws that a drop?

Earlier they dropped a catch on point.

 

[jnaveen1980]

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.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Not sure why Afghanistan is bowling spinners in power play.

 

[jnaveen1980]

All said and done he is above this level. He shouldn't be playing.

 

[Rajdeep]

Now that is a drop chance

 

[Snowflake]

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

You don't have an option bud

 

[jnaveen1980]

Is Afghanistan choking? They were saying a lot about their great fielding upfront. First time i see them play

 

[Devadwal]

You don't have an option bud

This was my point before the match started, but has India lost?

 

[Rajdeep]

Vaibhav gone. Bring that fat man dance gif @sweep_shot

 

[Devadwal]

Vaibhav is trying to play shots on every ball. He needs to be learn very quickly.

He goes for 68. India 90/1

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Vaibhav gone. Bring that fat man dance gif @sweep_shot

his selfie dance

 

[Ball Blazer]

Vaibhav is trying to play shots on every ball. He needs to be learn very quickly.

He goes for 68. India 90/1

Slogger

 

[jnaveen1980]

Slogger

Slogger is a cross batted player. He scores a lot of runs through off side from still position.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Tough tough chase b it so far it’s been a phenomenal start by the Indian boys.

Keep it going guys.
Play positive cricket.

 

[Devadwal]

India 172/2 (21)

Need 134 runs from 174 balls

 

[Bhaijaan]

India 172/2 (21)

Need 134 runs from 174 balls

186/1

 

[Arajit]

rather its 188/1 22.5 overs

 

[rpant_gabba]

Blattodea have gone missing

 

[Sachin fan]

Vibhav's quick innings helped these two batsmen to take their time to settle in without too much pressure of run rate.

 

[Hellion]

@Devadwal good news no Australia in final

Not better than Sundays. Overaged tamperers are out of the tournament even before semis

 

[Bhaijaan]

204/1


107 needed in 24 overs

It would have been a huge choke now to lose it from here.

Possible in Under 19 cricket. These two better keep going

Captain Ayush Mhatre departs for 62.

India better not choke from here.

204/2

 

[Bhaijaan]

82 to win in 20 overs. 8 wickets in hand.

Dont screw it up from here.
