ICC Under-19 World Cup, 2nd Semi-Final: India Under-19s v New Zealand Under-19s

[cricketworm]

Tried to bowl back of the hand slower one, went horribly wrong. NZ losing a plot a bit. Just bowl stump to stump.

 

[cricketworm]

50 runs from here is too much task but will set the game nicely.

 

[cricketworm]

Horne is underbowled I reckon.

 

[cricketworm]

Are you kidding me? Brilliant catch again! Very Nice.

 

[cricketworm]

It just got stuck! Sigh!

 

[Space Cat]

Brilliant fielding starts at a young age.

 

[cricketworm]

Brilliant catches and shoddy wicket gifting has turned the match for NZ.

 

[Square Drive]

Now NZ are looking to restrict India under 210.

 

[cricketworm]

Need 30 more runs! 4 overs to go.

 

[cricketworm]

You go Quinn hah!

 

[Space Cat]

Sort it out Quinn.

 

[Space Cat]

Looks a great day considering its winter.

 

[cricketworm]

Good paddle sweep!

 

[Space Cat]

Part time spin is working a treat at the death here.

 

[cricketworm]

Oh well someone had to attempt it at some point.

 

[cricketworm]

If Sharma and Spinners lend it right, even these runs can be defended.

 

[Square Drive]

Harmeet gone.

198/7, 2 overs to go. Should target around 215.

 

[cricketworm]

Passi CAN hit it, let's see what he does today.

 

[cricketworm]

LOL gone straight away! Again half hearted crap!

 

[Space Cat]

Passi CAN hit it, let's see what he does today.

Well he did hit it. Straight to the man.

 

[cricketworm]

Harmeet should cause havoc in this pitch. Even Baba can get rip from this wicket.

 

[cricketworm]

Well he did hit it. Straight to the man.

same old half hearted crap chip shot.

Ooops there goes number 9!

 

[cricketworm]

we won't even play 50 overs or what! India playing like

 

[Space Cat]

India might be bowled out here. Quinn looks handy at the death when get gets it right.

 

[cricketworm]

Last over! 6 runs will do!

 

[cricketworm]

Quinn reminds me of Tuffey.

 

[cricketworm]

Sharma is using Sachin's branded gear.

 

[cricketworm]

Back to the bowler please! ... almost!

 

[cricketworm]

210 to win for NZ! This is defendable!

 

[cricketworm]

This pitch grips so suit seamers and spinners.

 

[Space Cat]

Its a score on the board but NZ will have confidence after their run chase in the quarter final. Top order just need to take it patiently.

 

[Space Cat]

Sodhi mentored by Paul Strang. Very similar type of player.

 

[Justcrazy]

India can win , if they bowl well, match is evenly poised.

 

[Yuri]

Was there a Pak Vs WI match played too ??

 

[cricketworm]

They already played. WI won.

 

[LethalSami]

im rooting for NZL

hate for Ind trumps all things

 

[Bhaijaan]

4 down.

Come on Bharat !

 

[Bhaijaan]

Need couple of wickets now

 

[JibranAnsari]

Should be easy for india , the required rate is upto 6.

 

[test_fan]

I love U19 cricket.

 

[Bhaijaan]

I fear Ish Sodhi. :adnan

 

[Bhaijaan]

india winnnnnnnnn

 

[Bhaijaan]

India has won.


We are in the final.

 

[RWAC]

So I see that we meet Australia in the finals. I haven't been following the team
or the U-19 WC much. Who do PPers reckon as favorites?

From what I saw in the last two matches, Indian (U-19 ) bowling seems to have variety and bowlers who think before they bowl.

[Bhaijaan]

Aussies will be favorites in final.

 

[amlafan79]

have have well blanced attack
guys who can take wickets with new ball a brilliant spinner and pacer who has consistently did well in middle overs
now if batting does little better we can win this tournament!

 

[Cricfan4eva]

Sodhi won India a place in final. I doubt we'd have been in final if it was WI today.

 

[Cricfan4eva]

Funny format this.

Eng started as favourites, SA started strongly and both went out. India who were at most expected to reach QF are the finalists.

 

[RWAC]

Yeah from reading the scorecards, our batting looks crap. Players who play too slow and then get out to stupid shots.

Btw it seems the play slow bug has gotten from the U-19 side to international side as well.

India will look to join Australia as the only team to win the #u19cwc 3 times (Australia - 3; Pakistan - 2; India - 2) #cricket

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

AUS are the favs going into the finals.
