Toss: Papua New Guinea Under 19s who chose to bat

 

[Omer2002]

100 % confirmed ijaz ahmed has an issue with faisal akram. Even cricinfo had him as a standout player to watch but ijaz"s ego is shocking

 

[sweep_shot]

Should be a big win for Pakistan.

 

[Firebat]

Brilliant start from Pakistan, Ahmed Khan gets 3 wickets in the space of 8 balls bowled!

PNG 30/3 (10.0)

 

[Firebat]

4th wicket falls a couple overs later, courtesy of a run out.

PNG 33/4 (12.0)

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Way to destroy young spinners confidence

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Where is Faisal Akram?

 

[Muhammad Saad]

He probably abused ijaz and suffering the consequences

 

[Firebat]

Shehzad picks up PNG's 5th wicket, Pakistan really on top here.

PNG 38/5 (15.0)

 

[sweep_shot]

PNG - 38/5.

Can they cross 100?

 

[shaaik]

He probably abused ijaz and suffering the consequences

Deserves to be benched then.

 

[anakwalajinn]

Maybe they will unleash him in the semi final vs. Australia

 

[Firebat]

Pakistan running riot here - PNG 46/7 now after 19.1 overs.

 

[sweep_shot]

46/8.

Reminds me of that Japan U19 vs India U19 game.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

46/8 now

 

[Firebat]

PNG U19 50 all out!

Brilliant from Pakistan, Shehzad picks up a 5-fer in just 6.4 overs.

 

[shaaik]

Maybe they will unleash him in the semi final vs. Australia

Quarter finals ..

 

[KingOfPakBreakfast]

Lads, can anyone give us feedback regarding Shehzad's bowling ability? Does he have a good run up? Is he consistent? Is there good pace and movement?

 

[Omer2002]

Y wud png bowl first i dont know

 

[shaaik]

Lads, can anyone give us feedback regarding Shehzad's bowling ability? Does he have a good run up? Is he consistent? Is there good pace and movement?

Definitely needs to work on his run up..

 

[finalfantasy7]

11 wides in 22.4overs, far too much

 

[Bewal Express]

Lads, can anyone give us feedback regarding Shehzad's bowling ability? Does he have a good run up? Is he consistent? Is there good pace and movement?

Run up has lots of energy from what I saw today on the YouTube stream, looks a little unbalanced when delivering. He needs to get strong at the point of delivery. He is around 78-80mph. A good 6th option at the higher levels

 

[Zeshan547]

11 wides in 22.4overs, far too much

19 Extras otherwise they would be around 30 all out? I know their was gulf between the quality of both sides but still this is Like EA cricket in real life. Or maybe pitch was too bowling friendly.

 

[finalfantasy7]

lol shehzad batting, out to a straight bowl

 

[Zeshan547]

lol shehzad batting, out to a straight bowl

We are the weirdest team in the world, we have this unique ability to play opposition at their level somehow no matter if they are India or PNG.

nah the pitch is very batting friendly - im watching it live/ commentators have mentioned no demons at all in pitch - plays like sub continent pitch - very flat

It’s as flat as they come..

 

[finalfantasy7]

ullah really needs to improve - his winning 4 made him go to 18runs from 36balls, so slow.

png would have learned more if they bowled first, against any top team they should looking at batting second, just a learning experience for them

Trinidad, 22 January 2022: Pakistan U19 clinched the top position in the ICC U19 Men’s World Cup 2022 Group C by overpowering Papua New Guinea by 9 wickets in their third and last group match at the Queens Park Oval, Port of Spain, Trinidad on Saturday.

All-rounder Mohammad Shehzad (player of the match) was the star for Pakistan as he produced a stunning spell of medium-pace bowling taking five wickets for a mere seven runs in 6.4 overs to spearhead PNG’s capitulation for a 50-run total in 22.4 overs after PNG had won the toss and opted to bat first.

Right-arm-pacer Ahmad Khan took three wickets for 10 runs in five overs as other than Christopher Kilapat, none of the PNG batters could even reach double figures. Extras (19) were the top scorers while Kilapat, who opened the innings contributed 11 runs

In reply, Pakistan lost Shehzad for a duck as the all-rounder didn’t match his bowling heroics with the bat.

Abbas Ali and Haseebullah Khan took Pakistan to the paltry target without any further damage. Abbas who opened the innings with Shehzad scored 27 off 32 balls (three fours).

Haseebullah remained unbeaten on 18 off 36 balls (two fours).

Pakistan had earlier in the week defeated Zimbabwe and Afghanistan to ensure a place in the tournament’s Super Eights (quarter-finals). The 2004 and 2006 champions will take on Australia in their quarter-final match at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua on Friday, 28 January.

Scores in brief:

Pakistan U19 beat Papua New Guinea by nine wickets

Papua New Guinea 50 all out, 22.4 overs (Christopher Kilapat 11; Mohammad Shehzad 5-7, Ahmed Khan 3-10)

Pakistan U19 51 for 1, 12 overs (Abbas Ali 27 not out, Haseebullah Khan 18 not out; Junior Morea 1-12)

Player of the match: Mohammad Shehzad
