Sri Lanka U19 have won the toss and have opted to bat

 

[MenInG]

Ahmed Khan with 2 wickets

SL U19s 35/3 11.4 OV

 

[nextover666666]

Sri lanka u19 65-7 21 overs played

 

[MoJoJoJo]

Icelanders in an absolute tatters. 8 down for 78. Seems like that a final matchup with padosis is highly likely atm.

 

[nextover666666]

Zeeshan Zameer has 4 wickets so far

 

[nextover666666]

Ideally another wicket would be good sri lanka u19 currently at 103-8

 

[PakPremi]

I was looking forward to good contest, but looks like it be mostly one sided affair, though Pakistanis will always give you atleast a little suspense when chasing.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Why have they not lost the last wicket yet? From 89/9 to 144/9?

 

[Saj]

148 to win.

Let things slip with the last wicket stand but Pakistan are in a good position to win this match.

 

[MenInG]

SL U19s all out for 147

 

[nextover666666]

Pakistan should win but this can be a tricky chase espically if wickets fall early, hopefully pak batsman dont panic and play sensible

 

[Zeshan547]

SL more than doubled the score after 8th wicket loss, shameful bowling to let this happen. Hopefully it don't haunt them here are they won't even let it happen again.

 

[nextover666666]

Pakistan are 3 for 1 early wicket has fallen, i am worried

 

[nextover666666]

Pakistan 10-2 after 5 overs.

Looks like we are gonna make a mess of this run chase

 

[nextover666666]

10-3 now this is becoming embarassing

 

[Omer2002]

Indeed so called good batsmen...Qasim Akram captained awful last match and now same here ..he had 5 to six overs left from his pacers who were the best bowlers

 

[Bull]

LOL they are 10 for 3.
Pakistan and chasing the love story continues.

 

[mazkhan]

Bangalzai failing again and you have some people who have hyped him up as the coming of sliced white bread .

Got to question how these players are selected and what connections they have .

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Should have cleaned them under 100. But looks like our batting is miserable as ever

 

[nextover666666]

Credit also has to be given to sri lanka bowlers as well

 

[Shafi]

Exactly!!! Some people mad at me when I said the same thing. For some fans 1 good innings/20 matches are good enough.

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Something to do with pitches , same Bangalzai scoring runs for fun in Quaid trophy and see Huraira topping the charts

 

[nextover666666]

Pakistan u19 32-3 after 15 overs

 

[PakEngFan]

The likes are maaz, irfan and haseebullah are look very average based on the little I have seen of them. Maaz is a middle order bat not sure why he’s opening specially when you have Abdul Faseeh on the bench.

 

[IAJ]

Just need a good partnership here and Pakistan will win in sha Allah.

 

[IAJ]

SL were 70/8 at one stage and got to 147. Must have been a combination of good batting and bad bowling.

 

[Devadwal]

Chance to see india- Pakistan in final and final is live telecast

 

[nextover666666]

Pakistan currently at 42-3

Have you seen him play in domestics. He looks someone with a lot of promise. It baffles me to see his performing this bad in under19s ..

 

[nextover666666]

After 20 overs Pakistan u19 are 47-4
They literally need about 100 runs to win with 6 wickets on hand

 

[shaaik]

It’s gonna be one hell of a task .. they shd hv never allowed Lankans to cross 100 once they had them 8 for 80 odd.

 

[IAJ]

The winner here will probably meet India in the finals as BD are already 68/6 chasing 244 against India.

 

[Omer2002]

5 down now for 62 i think its game over

 

[nextover666666]

Pakistan 64 for 5 now

 

[nextover666666]

The winner here will probably meet India in the finals as BD are already 68/6 chasing 244 against India.

India should win that game easily now

 

[nextover666666]

71 for 6 now my fear seems like it will come true pakistan need 77 runs

 

[IAJ]

This team needs to develop the killer instinct. Even against India they let them off the hook after having them for 96/5.

 

[IAJ]

Pakistan need another Ahmed Khan speciall to pull this off.

 

[MoJoJoJo]

done and dusted. still halfway to go with only one decent bat left.

 

[Shafi]

Qasim Akram keeps making same mistakes and hoping to get away. Should bowled out SL under 90. He used part timers which helped SL to score 147. Deserve to loose. Also Wahid is doing same like Hasan Ali. Getting free pass from Ijaz.

 

[gazza619]

How the heck can you score only 80 runs in 35 damn overs!!!

 

[Pakpak]

Struggling massively. Can't see winning

 

[MenInG]

Struggling massively. Can't see winning

Understatement!

Pak U19s 85/6 36.0 OV, target is 148

 

[iRfaN_LA]

They are too defensive. If Ahmed khan bats, we might win but the approach to chasing 148 has been pathetic

 

[Saj]

There is hope while Ahmed Khan is at the crease.

 

[nextover666666]

95-7 now

 

[nextover666666]

Pakistan need 53 runs

 

[Shafi]

There is hope while Ahmed Khan is at the crease.

But others don't even know how to hold the bat. Not sure how these people get selected.

 

[nextover666666]

Pakistan 103-7 45 runs needed.

 

[nextover666666]

45 needed off 36

 

[shah_1]

Get Wahid out of the team

WC should be for newer players to showcase their talent whereas we have a habit of players playing 2 to three WC

 

[iRfaN_LA]

I hope they have a plan because run rate is getting out of reach. No boundaries forever now.

 

[nextover666666]

Only 5 overs left they need to start hitting

 

[mazkhan]

Answers need to be given by ijaz ahmed about some of these players that are being selected.

Maybe younis khan needs to be bought in with his no nonsense style and going ape if people don't listen .

 

[shah_1]

Sack Ijaz Ahmed

We need a more competent coach. Get the best coaches at this level

 

[Shafi]

We are struggling to score 147 even in 50 overs.

 

[nextover666666]

34 needed of 24

 

[shah_1]

Shehzad, Ahmed Khan and Zeeshan Zameer are the only players worth following

 

[Shafi]

Sack Ijaz Ahmed

We need a more competent coach. Get the best coaches at this level

Exactly!!! How on earth a player like Ijaz Ahmed can coach a team.

 

[nextover666666]

Ahmed khan is out that is game set and match i cant believe i stayed up for this , its 6 am here in canada

 

[Shafi]

8 down!!! Game is over. Hope Ramiz sack this Ijaz Ahmed. We were lucky to in over Afghanistan and made to semi.

 

[nextover666666]

Scary thing is this is the same team we are taking to the u19 world cup

 

[Sidilicious]

You guys are too harsh on your u19s. Winning is only part of the goal. Learning and personal development is the main goal. Sometimes losses teach much more than winning at this age.

 

[Shafi]

Scary thing is this is the same team we are taking to the u19 world cup

Same team? No changes at all?

 

[dildilpak]

This is very painful!

 

[nextover666666]

I dont think they will make any changes world cup starts in 2 weeks time if not mistaken

 

[mazkhan]

Scary thing is this is the same team we are taking to the u19 world cup

Batting is a real worry in particular the top order

Also most of the spinners just like railu katta type cricketers with very limited abilities .

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

9 down. Great performance by SL boys to try defending such a small total.

 

[nextover666666]

Some fans thought we had this in the bag but with this batting, pitch conditons, sri lankans bowling i had a feeling sri lanka would find a way to win

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

24 needed in 5 balls

 

[ethan hunt]

You guys are too harsh on your u19s. Winning is only part of the goal. Learning and personal development is the main goal. Sometimes losses teach much more than winning at this age.

Thats true, but its the approach I am more concerned about , what sort of modern approach is the management inculcating with this 70s style batting,

 

[Shafi]

Things like this always happen when we have desi coaches. Just like Saqlain played Hasan Ali 8 matches despite failure, Ijaz played Wahid 4 matches. Result is same . loss in semi.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Strange chase from Pakistan.
Anyways congratulations to Lankans.dil khush kar Ditta.

 

[ethan hunt]

It's all about individual brilliance at this level, not particularly concerned about the result, the only disappointment is not being able to see Zeeshan and Ahmad in a televised game.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Can 4 sixes be hit!!

 

[Shafi]

So we run of over chasing 147. May be our players need 60 overs if score is around 150, 90 overs if over 200 runs

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

All over. 125 AO. Really strange batting tactics

 

[Bull]

The most important thing is that they beat India.
I couldn't care less about these Asia cups especially at u-19 level.
These tournaments are for their development.
Winning is good but losing might be a good learning curve for these young guys.

 

[nextover666666]

Strange chase from Pakistan.
Anyways congratulations to Lankans.dil khush kar Ditta.

If sri lanka win the finals will you still be happy ��
