So far Australia are undefeated in the u19 world cup whilst Pakistan have gotten beat by Bangladesh. On the other hand in the last meeting between these two teams during the warmup for the u19 WC, Pakistan won the match by 3 wickets with over 6 overs to spare.
Just like in 2004, Pakistan's strength lies in our bowling attack and whilst spin was the main flavour of the 2004 attack, this new team are relying on their seamers.
After the India vs England semi-final there was a preview of the second semi-final and an English guy who is following the tournament was aksed what each teams strengths were. The guy replied that the Pakistan opening attack of Jamshed Ahmed and Anwar Ali were the best in the tournament sharing 10 wickets a piece in the last 4 games. Then he added that the first change seamer Akhtar Ayub who has 7 wickets isnt one to be written off either.
Overall he said that if the Pakistan batting didnt collpase as they (like any Pakistani team he said) are prone to do then the bowling attack wont be posed any problems by the Australians!
