Ali flopped once again.

Pakistan U19 are currently 60/1 as Ali Hassan lost his wicket on 8 (15)

Ali flopped once again.

That's because he is useless. Him and Ahmad Hussain dominating the u19 domestics shows the lack of standards.

Minhas with another century good consistency

Well I have seen him punishing FC bowlers along with Fahim Ashraf and him averaging over 100 in youth league.

 

[Muhammad Saad]

That Zim opening left arm pacer is good and he can seam the new ball around from very good angles , if he can add some pace currently he looks around 125-130k then he can be really good.

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Any bowler who can seam (not swing) the ball at good height is potentially very dangerous.

3rd 100 in last 7 matches for Sameer

What in friendly games and lol at faheem ashraf. He can't even punish zimbabwe bowlers. As I said from the moment I watched them, the only one with potential is Sameer minhas the rest are quite average and some quite poor.

Yea poor batters and only Sameer and to some extent Usman are good enough batters rest of the lot probably won’t make it even at FC level , Ali does seems to have potential but he is definitely a mental midget.

Centuries from Sameer Minhas and Usman Khan went in vain as persistent rain denied a result in the third fixture of the tri-series between Pakistan U19 and Zimbabwe U19 at the Prince Edward School Ground in Harare on Monday

After Zimbabwe won the toss and elected to field, Pakistan posted an imposing 354 for seven in their allotted 50 overs, courtesy a dominant second-wicket partnership between Sameer and Usman.

Right-handed Sameer, who was named player of the tournament in the recently concluded ACC Men’s U19 Asia Cup top-scored with 142 off 106 balls, striking 17 fours and four sixes, while left-handed Usman complemented him with a fluent 121 off 112 balls, which included 12 fours and two sixes. The pair added 199 runs for the second wicket, laying a solid foundation for a big total.

Following the dismissal of the centurions, Huzaifa Ahsan maintained the momentum with a brisk 54 off 53 balls, smashing three fours and two sixes helping Pakistan push past the 350-run mark.

For the hosts, Kirby Madharamete took three wickets, while Panashe Mazai bagged two wickets.

However, rain intervened before Zimbabwe could begin their chase and no further play was possible, resulting in the match being declared no result.

Pakistan had earlier registered a thrilling one-wicket victory over Afghanistan in their opening match of the tri-series. They will now take on Afghanistan in the fifth fixture of the tournament on Friday, 2 January.

Huzaifa Ehsan looks decent.

Sameer is looking in top form atm.. Scoring big hundred with ease... Good player.... Rest of the batting looks hit or miss type...
