We are at match number 14 of the ICC U-19 World Cup and are awaiting an exciting clash between Pakistan Under-19 and Nepal Under-19. The venue for this clash is Buffalo Park in East London.
Both these teams have played one match each. Pakistan Under-19 is off to winning ways by clinching a very comfortable victory over Afghanistan Under-19. Shahzaib Khan announced himself on this stage with a brilliant century, providing a strong foundation for their batting innings. Shamyl Hussain and Azan Awais looked a bit out of touch, and they will hope to find their form soon. Their skipper, Saad Baig, also proved his worth with a strong half-century, along with some fine knocks by Riaz Ullah and Ubaid Shah towards the end of the innings. Their bowlers were also on point, with Ubaid Shah getting 4 wickets and Mohammad Zeeshan taking 3.
There was a lot of talk around this young team before this World Cup, and they have started off well and have shown good intent out on the ground.
Nepal Under-19, on the other hand, had to face defeat against their counterparts from New Zealand; however, they gave some strong performances and warned every team not to underestimate them. Their bowlers managed to take wickets but could not build the pressure on their opponents. Subash Bhandari was the pick of the bowlers for his 3 wickets, followed by a couple from Gulshan Jha. In their batting unit, Arjun Kumal stood out quite clearly for his 90-run knock. He was the top scorer on this side but unfortunately couldn't receive any support from the other batters. Dev Khanal, their skipper, tried to take his innings deep, but he was dismissed after a brief cameo.
Both teams will fight hard for the win as the stakes in this tournament are very high. Pakistan Under-19 would want to keep their winning streak going while Nepal Under-19 will want to get a win under their belt and tick one box in their campaign.
