New Zealand U-19 vs Afghanistan U-19 | Match 13 | Group B | Buderim | 14/8/12

[IM NOT YOU]

Seems that new zealand have been struggling against the weaker teams and afghanistan has been playing good against good teams.



can afghanistan pull this one off?

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Of they play better then against us. Maybe.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

13/2

Good start by Afghans.

 

[khalil1986]

Make it 37-3

 

[AFG_Brit]

So far so good by young afghan team.

 

[khalil1986]

What is afghan batting like?

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Apparently the batting the strength. Struggled big time against pk

 

[Myrmidon]

yes they can

batting needs to click

very inconsistan team are the afghan u19

on they're day they are very very good
but then on they're day very very bad also


noor ul haq
javed ahmadi
najibullah zadran
noori


all have first team experience so its vital that from these four atleast 2/3 click and then other contributions from the rest

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Their best batsmen is by far Hashmatullah. Do not score quick but holds things together

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

130/4
New Zealand had partnership of 108 runs.
Back in the game and now its even.

 

[TalhaSyed]

Looks very very possible now!

 

[IAJ]

NZ 176/7 after 47 overs.

If Afghanistan can keep them under 200 they have done a tremendous job.

And when they bat they just need 1-2 batsmen who fire and make some quickfire fifties.

 

[IAJ]

179/8, 47.5 overs.

 

[IAJ]

183/8, 48 overs. 2 very imp overs coming up.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

NZ All out 198.

Interesting chase coming up. Not gonna get a better chance to win against a full member.

 

[IAJ]

NZ 198 all out. Well done Afghanistan for keeping them under 200.

50 % of the job is done and now need to win the second half as well. Not going to be easy, NZ is a fine cricket side.

 

[Mohsin]

NZ gonna lose

Their U19 side is as bad as their senior side lol, poor Kiwis

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Kamal Passi just hits 24 of 5 balls with 3 sixes to bring Indias total to 261. Good hitting.

 

[Marshland]

We've lost this.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Openers gone for 21.

Bad start by Afghanistan.

 

[Marshland]

It's good practice for the young guns to experience the perennial disappointment they'll get in the international arena when they're older!

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

21/4 hahahahaha

 

[Marshland]

Reverse jinxing at work.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

26/5

New Zealand has got wicket each over last 4 overs.

 

[Mohsin]

Maybe not...NZ bowlers either bowling awesomely or afghanistani batsmen battig really rubbish (to say the least!)

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Zimbabwe struggling too. 30/4

 

[sharaf katawazi]

the only one batsman looks great is najeen ullah his defence as well attacking both r owesom.he should be given chance at internation level.he made 69.

 

[truthseer]

Just 8 runs separate NZ and the Afghans at the end. Shocking for an international team's U19

 

[AFG_Brit]

Lost only by 8 runs :-( .. Atleast they made it a close game.

 

[Myrmidon]

like i have been harping on about

najibullah zadran can single handedly take the game away from a team

pity he didnt have much support from the top order.


will be a huge player for the afghan national team in the upcomming t20 worldcup, powerful hitter


it was his birthday yesterday aswell

 

[AFG_Brit]

Yeah bro, he seems to be scoring runs regularly down the order. Can be a good addition to the senior team.
