Not sure why so many 19 yr olds are playing, the point of U-19 gets diluted there
 
Not a surprise that we are walking our way through to yet another U19 Final. India produces the best young talent which is why we have won the most no. of U19 WCs. Our school cricket and junior cricket is just way too organized to not find quality 11 boys every other year.

But the succession from U19 to senior cricket is where we are lacking.

Where are those U19 bowlers from 2018 batch who were constantly bowling 140+? Why are they not playing international cricket by now and why trundlers like Bhuvi Kumar is still playing?

Where is Yashasvi Jaiswal? Why he hasn't replaced Dhawan by now?

Why Ravi Bishnoi have not played the last T20 world cup?

So its all good to see we are cruising in yet another U19 WC but not sure how long we have to wait to see guys like Yash Dhull, Rasheed or Hangarekar in the senior team.

Backlog is huge.
 
India surely the favourites to win the tournament.

Good points. I would say the natural progression is a hard one, its a massive step up. A few of them get caught with IPL riches and might be content. Not all have the passion for TC like VK has.
There needs to be constant mentoring which is where i feel we might be lacking.
Regarding the batch of 2018 -yeah is high time other than Gill and shaw, shiviam mavi , nagarkoti break out. last i heard one of them was injured and spending time in the banglore nca to get stronger. Also Tyagi from the 2020 batch.
Enough of Bhuvan and his 120kmph nothing. Am sure he knows someone higher up in the bcci - for me Sir Bhuvi Sobers has single handedly blocked the progress of a young paceman , basically he has contributed nothing since 2018 and should have been laid out to pasture since then.
As far as ravi bishnoi-its because india have a rule (some say rahul dravid was responsible) that a u-19 player can play only one wc.
I hope Hangar and vicky ostwal progress from here and be the long term replacements to our senior aging pacement and possibly rav jads when he goes.
All the v best for the finals - Bring on england :ds
 
India advanced to their eighth ICC Under 19 Men’s Cricket World Cup final with a comprehensive 96-run defeat of Australia and will face England in the showpiece.

Shaik Rasheed and Yash Dhull put on the second biggest partnership of the tournament, adding 204 runs for the third wicket after a shaky start for the Men in Blue.

Australia never got going in their reply to 290 as leading wicket-taker Vicky Ostwal took three for 42 with Australia eventually bowled out for 194.

They will now face Afghanistan in the 3rd/4th place play-off on Friday before the grand finale between England and India on Saturday.

India make Australia pay to reach fourth consecutive final

India got off to a slow start having won the toss and chosen to bat, openers Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Harnoor Singh added just 16 runs in 7.4 overs before the former was dismissed by a pearler from William Salzmann.

The right-arm seamer deceived Raghuvanshi with a length ball, the right-hander playing a shot but instead saw the ball uproot his off stump.

Singh would follow having made 16 from 28 before Shaik Rasheed and captain Yash Dhull put on a strong third-wicket stand, reaching their fifty partnership off 78 balls, one delivery into the second half of the innings.

Dhull then proceeded to find the boundary with increasing regularity taking advantage of wayward bowling by Salzmann.

The skipper was joined on a half-century by Rasheed as India passed 150 with just two wickets gone, the pair then passed 140 runs between them and as they did Australia missed a golden chance to end the partnership.

Salzmann found the ball in his hand with the chance to secure a near-certain run-out, the pressure told as the ball ballooned on its way to the stumps and India survived.

Dhull then brought up his first century for India, coming off 106 balls, with the 200-partnership following soon after.

Australia would then secure their run out, as Dhull was forced to go for a run-a-ball 110 before Rasheed was out the very next ball falling six runs short of his own hundred.

It did not get much better for Australia, however, as the final over went for 27 runs to see India post an imposing 290 for five.

The dangerous Teague Wyllie was out leg before wicket for just one run in the second over to hamper Australia’s chances further as they emerged from the powerplay only three runs ahead of India, who had yet to get going at that point.

Corey Miller would fall in the same way as Wyllie but not before putting on 38 from 46 balls to move Australia to 71 for two in the 17th over.

Vicky Ostwal would then add to his tally as India’s leading wicket-taker in the tournament (now 12), dismissing opener Campbell Kellaway for 30 as he sent a drive straight to Nishant Sindhu.

It was now up to Australian captain Cooper Connolly to match his opposite number but could add only three runs as he top-edged a looping catch to Rasheed.

Instead, Lachlan Shaw was the man to try and steer Australia to an increasingly improbable run chase, but he could not find a partner as the next three batters fell cheaply to leave Australia on 125 for seven.

Australia’s first six came sooner than their opponents, in the 37th over to India’s 44th, but the very next ball broke their eighth-wicket partnership which had added 42 runs.
Milestones continued to bring dismissals, Lachlan Shaw going five balls after bringing up his half-century as Ravi Kumar took his second wicket.

Tailender Tom Whitney put up some resistance including crashing back-to-back sixes but was run out to signal the end of his side’s challenge for the title.

India’s victory means the two undefeated sides will face off as they take on England at the Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Ground, Antigua and Barbuda on 5 February.

Excellent Brevis helps South Africa to narrow playoff win

Over at the Coolidge Cricket Ground, South Africa were also aiming to end their time in the Caribbean on a high, taking on Bangladesh in the 7th place playoff.

After winning the toss and electing to bat, Bangladesh made a strong start reaching 50 without loss only for Mahfijul Islam to fall to Liam Alder in the 10th over.

But fourth man in Ariful Islam kept maximum pressure on the South African attack, smashing 102 from 103 balls and finding the boundary on 12 separate occasions.

The 17-year-old looked untouchable for so much of the Bangladeshi innings, right until the 47th over when Mathew Boast found a good line and Islam pulled his shot to South Africa captain George Van Heerden.

The Bengal Tigers eventually reached a strong total of 293-8 at the end of their 50 overs.

In reply, South Africa lost Jade Smith in the sixth over when outside edging Musfik Hasan’s delivery.

But Dewald Brevis, who hit 97 in the quarter-final defeat to England, offered some hope for his team with a century eventually finishing with 138 off 130 balls.

The other end was less reliable, Van Heerden and Gerhardus Maree both going cheaply, however Mathew Boast’s quickfire 41 from 22 kept them on track.

In a nervy finale, it looked like Andile Simelane would take South Africa over the line, but he was run-out after tidy fielding from Ripon Mondol.

But eventually they got the win, and seventh place, in fine style when Alder punched a big drive down the leg side that went for six, securing a two-wicket victory in the process.

This bettered their final placing at the 2020 tournament where they finished eighth, but for defending champions Bangladesh a difficult three weeks ended in defeat.

Could Afghanistan win?
 
England and India enter the final of the ICC Under 19 Men’s Cricket World Cup both unbeaten and knowing that the only way to come out on top will be to keep playing attacking cricket.

For India, a record fifth title is the objective in their fourth successive final, while England have enjoyed their best ICC U19 Men’s CWC in 24 years since their one victory.

Skipper Tom Prest is only too aware of that history and how much his side have already achieved, and with the likes of Joe Root and Eoin Morgan having been in touch to offer their support, he is hoping to imitate the squad of 1998.

He said: “It’s the first time in 24 years that England have been in this final. I don’t know if we can believe it at the moment, we’re going to be playing in a World Cup final. It’s something you dream of growing up, so we’re all really excited and can’t wait to play.

“This morning we had messages from quite a few of the England senior team, saying that they had been following it and been really impressed with us. So it’s nice to know we have so much support from back home.

“They were saying that how impressed they have been with us and proud of what we have done getting to our first Under-19 Men’s Final in 24 years. It’s amazing to know they have been watching and following.

“We’ve tried to play that attacking brand of cricket that Eoin Morgan instilled in his squad. Whether that is with the bat, ball or field, we always try to take the positive option. That was one of the messages they were saying in their video they sent this morning – to not back down from the big occasion in the final and still play with that positive intent.”

England should be familiar with the Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Ground, having seen off both South Africa and Afghanistan there in the quarter-final and semi-final respectively.

For India, meanwhile, it will be a new venue after their impressive wins over defending champions Bangladesh in the quarters and then Australia last time out.

In the semi-final, skipper Yash Dhull hit a century, and he is hoping for more of the same as India try to contain England’s big hitters, with long-time India skipper Virat Kohli having offered some words of support to the players.

He said: “It will be a good challenge against England. They play attacking cricket and look to dominate the opposition. Our approach against them will be to bowl as many dot balls as possible.

“The team morale is high. We are excited to play the final. It’s the final but it is still just a game. So, we will play with the positive mindset, stick to the basics and we will look to execute our plans.

“He (Virat Kohli) gave us his best wishes as the team is doing well. So, his words will give us confidence. When a senior player speaks with the team, the team morale gets a boost. He spoke to us about some basic things such as how to play normal cricket, how to stick to our game plan etc. It was good to interact with him.”

Graeme Le Brooy will be the Match Referee for the final and the match officials standing in the game will be Roland Black of Ireland and Asif Yaqoob from Pakistan. Pakistan’s Rashid Riaz will be serving as the TV umpire and Jacqueline Williams from the West Indies will be the fourth umpire.

Thriller!

Australia grab third place with a thrilling two-wicket win!

AFGU19 201 (49.2)

Australia U19 won by 2 wkts
 
A fine all-round performance from Nivethan Radhakrishnan fired Australia to third place in the ICC Under 19 Men’s Cricket World Cup with a two-wicket win over Afghanistan.

The ambidextrous all-rounder took three for 31 to limit Afghanistan to 201 all out batting first, before notching a half-century in the chase. Australia were made to sweat but eventually snuck home with five balls to spare.

Afghanistan, hoping to better their previous best result in this tournament – fourth in 2018, won the toss and elected to bat at the Coolidge Cricket Ground in Antigua and Barbuda.

However two early wickets for William Salzmann (3-43), removing Nangeyalia Kharote and Allah Noor, reduced Afghanistan to 15 for two.

Mohammad Ishaq (34) and skipper Suliman Shafi (37) started to rebuild, adding 70 before the former was run out by Salzmann, the latter falling three balls later to Radhakrishnan.

Ijaz Ahmad Ahmadzai took up the baton, making 81 as wickets continued to tumble around him, before becoming the ninth man to fall as Salzmann’s final victim with the score on 201.

Skipper Cooper Connolly (2-30) finished off the innings with his second wicket in the final over, leaving Australia with a manageable chase as they were set 202 to win.

Campbell Kellaway (51) and Teague Wyllie (13) put on a half-century stand for the first wicket before the latter was bowled by Nangeyalia to bring Radhakrishnan to the crease.

He and Kellaway added another 60 before a little wobble as Noor Ahmad removed both Kellaway and Connolly in quick succession.

Isaac Higgins joined Radhakrishnan, scoring 11 in a 40-run partnership, but when both were dismissed with 35 still required, a few nerves started to appear.

Lachlan Shaw (13) and Corey Miller (13) then added 26 to take Australia to the brink before three quick wickets gave Afghanistan hope.

They took it to the final over, but Joshua Garner (four not out) held his nerve to see Australia home.

The improvement of the England men’s team in white-ball cricket over the past seven years has been extraordinary.

Under the stewardship of Eoin Morgan, England have won the Cricket World Cup and reached a T20I World Cup final and semi-final.

And a glance at the squad lists for many of the franchise T20 tournaments around the world confirms England’s emergence as one of the leading nations in the world in the shorter formats.

The signs for England are good that their era of white-ball form could be set to continue, with the U19 side through to Saturday’s final at the ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup, where they will face India.

This young England side, captained by the impressive Tom Prest, have not just taken inspiration from watching Eoin Morgan and company in action, but now are in direct contact with the senior international players, who offered advice prior to Saturday’s big game at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua.

“This morning we had messages from quite a few of the England senior team, saying that they had been following it and been really impressed with us,” Prest told the world’s media in a media conference on Friday. “So it’s nice to know we have so much support from back home.

“They were saying how impressed they have been with us and proud of what we have done getting to our first Under-19 Men’s final in 24 years. It’s amazing to know they have been watching and following.

“We’ve tried to play that attacking brand of cricket that Morgan instilled in his squad. Whether that is with the bat, ball or in the field, we always try to take the positive option.

“That was one of the messages they were saying in their video they sent this morning – to not back down from the big occasion in the final and still play with that positive intent.”

Maintaining that intent against a talented Indian bowling attack will be no mean feat, for whom spinner Vicky Ostwal has been the standout performer in the tournament so far, taking 12 wickets.

But Prest and his team are the first England U19 men’s side to reach the final of this event in over two decades, and the captain says his team can’t wait to embrace the challenge against India.

“It’s the first time in 24 years that England have been in this final. I don’t know if we can believe it at the moment, we’re going to be playing in a World Cup final.

“It’s something you dream of growing up, so we’re all really excited and can’t wait to play.”

The ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup Final will start at 09:00 local time at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua.

No other cricket nation has a record to match India’s at ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cups.

India will be appearing in their fourth consecutive final when they face England at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua on Saturday, and have won the tournament a record four times in total, in 2018, 2012, 2008 and 2000.

But Yash Dhull’s side haven’t enjoyed a straightforward path to Saturday’s showpiece match, with the captain one of a number of Indian players forced to miss matches after testing positive for Covid-19 during the tournament.

Thankfully Dhull is back to full health and has hit top form, as shown with a sparkling 110 in the semi-final against Australia.

And the 19-year-old says he and the team are trying to treat Saturday’s game as they would any other.

“The team morale is high, we are excited to play the final,” Dhull said in Friday’s media conference.

“It’s the final but it is still just a game. So, we will play with the positive mindset, stick to the basics and we will look to execute our plans.”

India received a fillip ahead of the fixture when they were contacted by former all-formats captain Virat Kohli with some words of encouragement.

“He gave us his best wishes and said the team is doing well,” Dhull revealed.

“When a senior player speaks with the team, the team morale gets a boost. He spoke to us about some basic things such as how to play normal cricket, how to stick to our game plan etc. It was good to interact with him.”

India have caught the eye with the bat throughout the World Cup, but with the ball they have been quietly excellent too, managing to restrict all five of their opponents to totals less than 200 so far.

Against a big-hitting England that record may be threatened, but Dhull says that his bowlers have a plan and will be aiming to keep it tight against such a dangerous opposition.

“It will be a good challenge against England. They play attacking cricket and look to dominate the opposition.

“Our approach against them will be to bowl as many dot balls as possible.”

The ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup Final will start at 09:00 local time at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua.
