| Tri-Nation U-19s Tournament in South Africa (SA)| Pak, Zimb & SA| Jan 11-22, 2012|

[IAJ]

198/9

 

[M.A.G]

We really needed that Mohd Mohsin, we only have 3 actual batsmen that are performing, which are Sami Aslam, Babar Azam and Mohd Waheed.

Faraz ali, sahan akram and adnan mahmood are useless. they are yet to perform. we should have at least put some reserves players that can be given chance if others are not performing, like Haseeb-ur-Rehman for example.

Even bowlers, Usman Qadir, Mohd Nawaz are good spinners and allrounders. Pace bowlers we have zia ul haq and ehsan adil, all bolwers are getting a wicket or 2 in a match, we dont seem to have the strike bowlers, the 4/5 wicket howl bowlers.

We should had Mir Hamza and abid hussain (the highest wicket taker "46" in u19 4days tournoment) in reserves.

As far as I know, Corné Dry is one of (if not the) South Africa's most promising young fast bowler: some nearly 2m tall lad with definite pace and great control, have read his name previously and was talked of in high terms.

| Pakistan u19s v SA u19| Tri-nation! Stellenbosch| 19/01/12|

SA u19s 134/7 after 39.3 overs.

They were 92/6 at one stage and Babar Azam keeps making same mistakes by not introducing the fast bowlers like Zia ul-Haq against the tailenders.

And now he has done that and Zia has struck right away.

S/A 64/2 after 12 after pak put them in.

 

[IAJ]

SA 79/3 after 16 overs.

 

[ataullah]

Pak have been most impressive team in this tour so far. Top 3 run scorers are pakistani and leading wicket takers are pakistani

 

[Bilal.0]

Is there a telecast for this match?

 

[IAJ]

Pak have been most impressive team in this tour so far. Top 3 run scorers are pakistani and leading wicket takers are pakistani

Yeah really impressed by this team and that too on their first outing on bouncy wickets.
Remember SA brushed aside England u19 in England last summer so Pakistan are doing quite well.

Let's just hope we win this final today. SA u19s off to a decent start and they have a couple of good bowlers.

SA 124/4 after 28.2 overs. Need to keep them under 200!

 

[IAJ]

Not looking good for Pakistan.

SA 264/9 after 48.2 overs. Let's keep them under 280

 

[IAJ]

SA u19s 275/9 (50 overs)

Pakistan need 276 to win. A tough task but let's hope the openers fire when it really matters!

 

[Sherlock]

Tough chase, cannot see SA losing from here.

 

[IAJ]

Pakistan 34/1 after 6 overs.

Babar Azam out early. Usman Qadir has been promoted to provide a quick start.

 

[IAJ]

Pakistan u19s in a mess 85/4 after 17 overs. Good run rate but have lost 4 wickets.

Pakistan should have batted first and have they had even made 230 they would have defended it. To chase 276 isn't easy at all.

 

[Sherlock]

Game's gone. Too much for the players to get.

 

[M.A.G]

our youngsters totally chocked, the mental status was was the factor in the chase for 275.

its a shame we are loosing the final when we topped the series.

 

[IAJ]

^ That's so typical.
The match is still not over though.

Even if we lose we have a three match series against SA u19s coming up starting next week. Hopefully we can win that InshaAllah.

 

[IAJ]

Pakistan choked against chokers

SA won the final by 134 runs!

SA 275 (50 overs)
Pakistan 141 (33.3 overs)

Seems like Pakistan made two obvious mistakes. They should have batted first winning the toss given that they are not good chasers.
Secondly they messed up the batting order by getting in Usman Qadir one down. That didn't work.

Now, Pakistan should look to win the bileteral series against SA u19 starting next week.

 

[violet_may]

Oh no. We were doing pretty well in the tourny. Ah well, good experience for the youngsters. They got hammered in the final it seems.
