Let's see the other young players given a chance. Our spinners are fairly average, let's hope we have someone decent in the reserves
 
Another great rivalry that has developed in the last couple of years, is Pakistan vs Afghanistan. Sometimes this rivalry seems much bigger than the Indo-Pak clash. Let's see how these young Pakistani boys will do against Afghan youth. Good match to follow hopefully.
 
ACC u19 Asia Cup 2023:

Afghanistan u19 v Pakistan u19 toss update:

Afghanistan u19 have won the toss and are bowling first.

1702357445939.png1702357467908.png
 
"Allah Mohammad" - That was a very speciall name, really want to understand this.
 
Shamyl has been quiet in the first 2 matches. He really needs to come good in this match.
 
Too many extras conceded by Afghan bowlers in the total score of 25. They should work on their line here. No good to bowl so many wides early on.
 
3 wonderful shots by Shamyl to end the over. Pakistan U19 is 37/0 after 5 overs.
11 wides and 2 no-balls from Afghan bowlers yet, that is something worth working on.
 
Another spin bowler from Afghanistan having an unusual action, Allah Ghazanfar.
 
Shamyl even though has some technical deficiencies but he seems to look level above all other Pak U19 batters.

He looks complete in command when attacking or defending.
 
Yep Shamyl is easily the most talented batter in the current U19 side , oozes with class and swag.
 
This guy Shamyl has something in him. Beautiful shots from him. That pickup shot for a maximum was superb to watch.
Pakistan U19 is 62/0 after 9 overs.
 
PJL played a huge role developing these players. Where are all those keyboard warriors who Were criticising Rambo and IK for wasting money on PJL?
 
Love this apporach from Pakistan. Very refreshing
 
Khalil has been neutralized in the first over. 14 off his first over. Shamyl is not stopping, excellent batting by him.
 
Shahzaib really needs to help Shamyl here. Playing with a strike rate of 50 is not helping the team here.
 
Shamyl reminds me of Yuvraj. Talat Hussain would be proud of his son
 
Very good intellectual innings from Shamyl. Hits a six and took a single to get off strike.
 
This is brain less stuff from Shamyl he needs to calm down , no need for hitting big sixes after six.
 
14 overs so far and the score is 107/0. That is fabulous batting from the opening batters especially Shamyl, who scored most of the runs out of 100.
 
I would take Shamyl innings over Azan innings as he played with authority and swag.
Shamyl is playing beautifully here. But don't take anything away from Azan's innings bro. Azan scored a century against India chasing a good total.
 
He is is ultra aggressive mode and I am pretty sure he will get out before completing his 100 , why the talented ones always have low IQs?
 
It is called confidence and modern day batting

Didn't you watch Travis head and Rohit bat recently in the WC?
He should focus on getting his ton and making sure that Shazaib starts dominating too. that is called team game.
 
All these pakistani top 4 batsmen are good against spin also
 
This Shahzaib guy should be doing something now. This is not good batting from him.
 
Drinks break now. The score is 110/0 after 15 overs. SHamyl has been fantastic so far. Looking pretty comfortable out there but Shahzaib has to do some scoring as well now.
 
He should focus on getting his ton and making sure that Shazaib starts dominating too. that is called team game.
Team game means that the guy that is seeing it good and hitting it well keeps hitting and does not slow down because of his ton. The guy that is struggling tries to play himself in and get into the zone to hit as well.
 
Shamyl should calm down. He is charging out and playing too risky. Run rate is excellent. He just needs to hang in there for a bit more to bat Afghanistan out of the game.
 
Finally, Afghanistan got rid of Shamyl. Pakistan U19 is 1 down now for 115 after 17 overs.

This is the best U19 batting side Pakistan has had in a while. Tayyab hasn't gotten a chance yet but he is a great prospect as well and Arafat could very well be the first to make it to the senior side. Just hope they are properly groomed and we don't lose these youngsters like we usually do.
 
May it be the senior side of the U19 side, getting out down the leg side stays the same. Tayyab is gone for 6 off 15.
 
Tayyab has an average of 26.33 @ 67.13 after 12 YODIs. What's his claim to fame?
 
Naseer is creating problems for the Pakistani team. Took 2 wickets and looks pretty tidy and difficult to get runs on.
 
His considered one of the best batting talents in Pakistan by quite a few prominent cricket experts.

I think his just going through a rough patch.
He play far too many false strokes and can get out at any time , he should not be in the playing XI but needs to be in the squad for grooming purpose , the talent is there but he is so young for U19 at the moment.
 
This Wafiullah guy seems like he is inspired by Mohammad Nabi as a bowler. Action seems very similar to him.
 
Shahzaib reached his 50 of 74 balls. Good innings but need to put his feet on the paddle now.
 
27 overs and 172/2 for Pakistan U19. Good batting by Shamyl to give Pakistan an explosive start.
 
Brilliant batting from Shahzaib and a beautiful six in last over from Rafiullah. Love how these youngsters are pacing their innings.
 
The ball didn't carry for Shahzaib's wicket. horrendous umpiring error
 
Shamyl hussain is a son of Pakistani journalist Talat hussain
I know his father and his uncles , they all had played good club level cricket . He is from a good , well educated cricketing family and I’m not surprised with his performance. Although I was a bit disappointed with his failure in earlier matches .
