Pakistan U19s (155) through to the semi-finals with a narrow 5-run win over Bangladesh U19s (150) in their last Super-6 game of ICC U19 World Cup 2024

[Ahmed216]

Zeeshan has looked the least threatening. He seems to be trying too hard hence poor control

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Zeeshan is lucky to not get hammered

 

[pakistanisgreat]

I think Ahmed should bowl couple of overs

 

[Human786]

83/6

 

[imshally81]

Out

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Outtt

 

[Shafi]

I think relays on his height and some pace. He has no swing

Exactly!! He will be same as M Irfan. Over-hyped for height but fail miserably.

 

[Shafi]

Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Tail starts now

 

[RidiculousMan]

Ubaid Shah with the 4th wicket of the match. He turns up whenever the team needs him.

I reckon we're in a treat to watch both Ubaid and Naseem bowl together with the new ball in the PSL.

 

[Shafi]

Looks like All BD players can bat

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Pakistan needs to get this james

 

[DRsohail]

Looks like All BD players can bat

No their keeper has fifty against india. Thes rest looks tailenders. We have to bowl in channel to get them out.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Pak need to bring Ahmed. He has good swing.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Great ahmed is back now.

 

[Shafi]

Parchi Asfand don't contribute neither with bat/ball/fielding

 

[Human786]

nice shot 89/6

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Pak batting disappointed as usual

 

[Ahmed216]

Looks like All BD players can bat

The openers looked like they could bat a bit but they wanted to get this done in 10 overs. Others have looked poor to me

 

[RidiculousMan]

I would only bring a spinner if pacers need a breather. Because these 4 pacers are doing the job right now and the game won't likely go beyond 40 overs so just bowl all 40 overs of pacers. If you don't take the last 4 wickets, you don't - game over.

 

[Shafi]

Zeeshan needs to be dropped if we manage to go semi

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Need a quick wicket

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Bangla playing sensibly

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Arafat should bowl couple of overs. Pak need wickets, otherwise it's over for them.

 

[Sher Khan]

Great attacking captaincy using the Pacers all out

 

[Shafi]

Does Anyone know how Asfand got selected? Good family background or political selection

 

[kingusama92]

Decent fight from the boys here.

Looked like a gone game early on.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Decent fight from the boys here.

Looked like a gone game early on.

Typical isn't it? Batters failing to put a decent score and pacers keeping Pakistan in with a chance.

 

[Shafi]

What a useless and over-hyped bowler this Zeeshan is just because his height!!!

 

[kingusama92]

Typical isn't it? Batters failing to put a decent score and pacers keeping Pakistan in with a chance.

Classic Pakistani cricket for sure. Some things will never change.

 

[Shafi]

Parchi useless Asfand on. Looks like he bowls because of his connection

 

[DRsohail]

Parchi useless Asfand on. Looks like he bowls because of his connection

And conceded a boundary.

 

[sweep_shot]

It is getting tight.

Can go either way.

 

[sweep_shot]

Bangladesh have to win within 38.1 overs to overtake Pakistan's NRR.

They need 49 runs from 13.1 overs to do that. 4 wickets in hand.

 

[Shafi]

And conceded a boundary.

Needs to find out how he keeps getting selected without performances.

 

[Shafi]

It is getting tight.

Can go either way.

Should be easier for Bangladesh if they play calmly. Asfand, Zeeshan they need to score

 

[sweep_shot]

Should be easier for Bangladesh if they play calmly. Asfand, Zeeshan they need to score

Only 4 wickets in hand.

I think Pakistan are favorites. One of the batters is having a cramp. Pitch doesn't seem easy to bat on.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

What a useless and over-hyped bowler this Zeeshan is just because his height!!!

Looks complete lost, no body language. Doesn't really look U19 either.

 

[Shafi]

Looks complete lost, no body language. Doesn't really look U19 either.

Exactly!!!! He is over-hyped just like M Irfan but same useless bowler.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

This raza reminds me of shabbir ahmed/ Mohammed zahid.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

I think game is over for pak kids. Good experience for them and learn from it.

 

[RidiculousMan]

This is the phase. Next 8-10 overs will decide the match. About time to bowl out your best bowlers now.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

This is the phase. Next 8-10 overs will decide the match. About time to bowl out your best bowlers now.

I was thinking the same. Ubaid should bowl out but he seems tired now.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 117/6 (27 overs).

BD need 39 runs from 11.1 overs to go through to semi-final.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Things not looking good for ubaid

 

[Shafi]

Bring Minhas instead of useless Zeeshan

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan need a wicket.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

That was good looking shot

 

[pakistanisgreat]

BD kids are good to watch

 

[sweep_shot]

Ubaid has 1 more over left after this over.

He has been the best bowler. Took 4 wickets.

 

[kingusama92]

Oh man.

Might have dropped the match.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Ubaid Shah dropped another match turning catch. This was dolly 10/10 times you would take it.

 

[batandballbattle]

shelled catch, got to have one every game

 

[sweep_shot]

Catch drop.

That was a sitter.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Match dropped by Ubaid - pack your bags now.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Ubaid dropped the game!!

 

[m.shah]

Such a poor fielder this Ubaid Shah is.Lost game with his 2 simple drops

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Ali Raza is good talent

 

[pakistanisgreat]

I think that was who James dropped twice by ubaid

 

[Shafi]

Players like this shouldn't be selected if they can't catch

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 123/6 (29 overs).

33 are needed from 9.1 overs to go through.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Players like this shouldn't be selected if they can't catch

Exactly what's the point of those 4 wickets if you gonna drop 2 catches

 

[ataullah]

Players like this shouldn't be selected if they can't catch

Exactly and he's playing PSL..should cancel his contract until he learns how to catch

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Outtt

 

[ataullah]

Ubaidyyyyyyyyyyy!!!! Will he be forgiven after dropping a dolly?

 

[RidiculousMan]

Earlier in the commentary Ian Bishop raised a good point about managing and looking after progress of these fast bowlers.

He said if he were in charge of board, he would use the resources he has to get the best coaches in high performance center and get guys like Ubaid and Zeeshan to work under those specialized coaches before dispersing them in domestic cricket and PSL.

 

[sweep_shot]

Out.

Ubaid gets a 5-fer.

Pakistan are on top now.

 

[kingusama92]

He gets it back!

Terrible fielder but a quality pacer.

 

[batandballbattle]

that drop doesn't cost too much
drops one but gets him himself, deserved 5fer

 

[RidiculousMan]

5-fer for Ubaid Shah! Too little too late? Pakistan need 3 more wickets and Ubaid Shah's 10 overs quota is about to end now.

 

[RidiculousMan]

He gets it back!

Terrible fielder but a quality pacer.

He can work on his fielding. That's something you can get much better with just practice.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Can he get one more?

 

[sweep_shot]

This has been a great game.

Better than run-fests.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Pak needs to attack stumps

 

[sweep_shot]

Ubaid's 10 overs are done.

10-1-44-5.

Great figure.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

This has been a great game.

Better than run-fests.

Low scoring always fun to watch

 

[ataullah]

8.1 overs and 33 needed. First time rate has jumped to 4. Can they be disciplined? Can they win?

Bowls a wide..forget this

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Ali raza deserves another wicket or two

 

[sweep_shot]

Wicket.

Pakistan are closing in.

BD - 124/8.
