Which side will win the U19 Cricket World Cup semi-final clash between India and Pakistan?

[Shafi]

I am not attacking any of the U19 kids, it’s you who are suffering from Misbah Syndrome. Winning against SL in home ground without Herath is ok but not a big achievement. Did you forget how Misbah’s T20 team got whitewashed by SL D in T20?

 

[moghul]

There are actually 2-4 future prospects in this Pak U19 squad in comparison to 2018 where other than Omair Yousuf who didnt get a lot of games there wasn’t anybody.

2018 batting lineup was the worst Pakistan under 19 ever had. This time batting is much better, at least 4 , Haider, Hurraira, Rohail and Haris are potential international batsmen.

 

[moghul]

Too much hype for an U-19 game boys...

First time I am taking 1/2 day off from work for an under 19 match to watch.

 

[Stumper]

I think this time around our bowling can win the match for us not batting. I believe Indian bowling is strong

 

[Shafi]

Exactly!!!!
I hope Haider, Hurraira and Haris should be fast track in LOI and Rohail, needs to work on his batting to replace Rizwan in test.

 

[MenInG]

Toss will be key - but a good opening stand needed also

 

[Revolution]

Pakistan won the toss and chose to bat.

 

[Ronaldo7]

First time I am taking 1/2 day off from work for an under 19 match to watch.

The 2018 match between these two didn’t get as much hype due to the timing.
This match is absolutely perfect in terms of the timing

 

[Mamoon]

We cannot compete with India at any level. It is the bitter truth.

They will beat us 9/10 times at every level in any format in any conditions. The gap between the two cricket nations in terms of skills, confidence, temperament, execution etc. is immense and it is only going to widen in the future.

It is a mismatch between an elite cricket nation and a mediocre cricket nation. Had Pakistan won today, it would have been a fluke because we are nowhere near them.

Apart from Haider, I don’t think any of our players would get into the Indian team.

Our competition is with countries like Bangladesh, West Indies, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan etc. India has raced ahead and we cannot compete with them anymore.

Well at least our fans had the opportunity to get excited and delude themselves for a couple of days before the inevitable reality-check.

As long as India (at any level) is performing at their 70-80% capacity, we don’t stand a chance against them even if we play out of our skins.

 

[andy0204]

It's just a hype

I already told you it's just a hype.

 

[Test lover]

Boring match

 

[Ab Fan]

Pakistan's game to lose. My bet on them

 

[JaDed]

This wasn’t even as interesting as 2018

 

[Mamoon]

Some questions have answers that are not pleasing.

Since Indian cricket is lightyears ahead of Pakistan cricket, if both teams are at their best on the day, it is obvious that India will win.

Those who want Pakistan to win should hope that the Indian team performs below its capacity while Pakistan brings its A game.

The conditioning of the Indian players, their mindset, their confidence etc. is at a different stratosphere compared to their Pakistani counterparts.

Pakistan should hope that they are at their best while the Indians have an off-day.

The formula is easy as [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] bhai put, if India gets the pounding that is coming for them - its a fluke. If not, then its India being better than Pakistan.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t an off-day.

And we saw the humongous gulf when India brought their A game forward.

 

[Shoaib88]

Aaannd... India wins by 10 wickets lol

 

[Mamoon]

And so another generation of talentless Pakistani players have been scarred for life.

Some of these players would be on the field when an Indian team consisting of Jaiswal will extend the World Cup streak in 2027.

I don’t know why you think anyone cares. Nobody cares about an u19 btw we already beat them in the u21 Asia cup a game they should have won so your any level is gone. Also why do you seriously think Pakistanis think we are better than India atm the whole world knows we’re not stop trying to take ur hate out on Pakistan by writing essays Pakistanis don’t cAre

You should never bet on Pakistan against India. I remember in school during 2011 WC SF, My friend betting on that match with another classmate and I forced him to bet on India and he won the bet.

Yes no one cares because we lost. Had we won, we would be doing bhangra in this thread and mocking India for lacking talent in spite of ruling cricket.

You need to be more gracious in defeat and humiliation.

It was an off day for Pakistan otherwise they would have won by 10 wickets and not India.

Actually, India got lucky as they chased total. If they had batted first, then Pakistan would have chased and then win by 10 wickets comfortably. Since, India chased so Pakistan couldn't win by 'X' number of wickets.

Man you are just so toxic in these forums. Every post of yours is anti-Pakistani cricket team and pro Indian cricket team. Even Indian fans don't bash Pakistan cricket as much as you do.

 

[pillionrider]

The game was played aggressively but decently by both sides. Lots of stares by bowlers from the two teams but a helping hand from the opposition when the batsman got hit. All in all, pretty good respect shown and nothing cheap until the end. By one guy.

Sore loser that spinner, Amir Ali trying to deny Jaiswal a hundred.

Bowled a full toss to Saxena hoping he'd smash it. Then bowled wide down leg but the keeper got a leg to it and they ran a single.

Tried his best ball to Jaiswal and got slapped out of the ground )

 

[Mahee]

such a shame !!....after seeing all those posts yesterday, seriously thought Pakistan is a talented team too and was expecting a clash of titans

 

[RyanRyan10]

And so another generation of talentless Pakistani players have been scarred for life.

Agree with you.

Indian U19 without Jaiswal,Garg,Tyagi,Bishnoi had defeated Pakistan U19 team which had Naseem Shah in their XI.

The previous U19 side of Pakistan had lost by 202 runs. The current side was hyped as much better than the previous one but atleast the previous side had quality Pacers like Shaheen Afridi. This side didn't even have that.

Shaheen and Naseem were both raw at the time. This is no way taking away from the comprehensive defeat.

 

[vicky11]

Pakistan should organize a conditioning camp with proper counselling so that the kids don't get demoralized and deflated. Instead they will hopefully strive harder to make it into the senior team and psl.

This guy uses Palistan's defeat for his nefarious purposes. According to this joke this pcb selected team is on merit and the best of Pakistan. After 2003 post Tauqir Zia exit Pcb has not selected a team on merit or allowed unbiased open trials. The best of Pakistan cricket is list to this system and pathetic board. This board also has never been a medium to groom a batsman. One can see the national team.

Never commented on this u19 team before here ezp. this shoaib malik relative Hurraira. He needs basic training how to run between wickets but as he is connectd he will be given fo ahead and a deserving player will lose a place to this mental midget.

 

[avihash]

It’s okay even if the boys lost by 10 wickets.

They will learn from it and one day they will go on to make a strong team like the one Imran Khan keeps referring to.

Only way from here is up. Pakistan has gained strong moral victory today.

 

[charlie007]

If you beat someone so badly, you can't even get the thrill of trolling the padosis. It was fun to see the posts about how good the Pakistan U19 team was in older threads! So I'll just say, hope players and fans recover soon.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Only Mamoon has made the correct assessment. I was wrong too. But i didn't know much about either of the team. I just went by fans words. One pak fan had mentioned current pakistan batsmen are ridiculously good against pace bowling. Just took the word.

 

[charlie007]

I dare this same post being posted against India and mamoon like figure would be in jail for sedition. This guy uses Palistan's defeat for his nefarious purposes.

I'm not really bothered about the U19 results but really Pak U19 can't be too bad if they reached semis. It's just that India are too good and looks like they executed their plans perfectly on the day.

Best of luck to India for the final.

There are lot of deserving players in grade cricket who are way better gifted than this guy. He should be playing consistently why was he inducted against Afghanistan team. Pretty low defense, and does'nt have allround game outside the V. I don'tknow about these scores or the opposition. Because of stats his relative Shoaib Malik has occupied the Pakistan team scoring against low ranked sides. What is his performance in New Zealand or Australia is well known for everyone.

I agree, U19 is U19 - not really a true indication of the future. Pak U19 were obviously good enough to reach Semis, so they can't be bad as you said. It's just that they got caught in a perfect storm: they didn't turn up truly on the day AND India turned up big time on the day. Good luck for the future.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Someone has taken the loss really seriously. Under-19 Pakistan team played like under-19 team. Nothing wrong. India is slightly above under-19 level collectively just like last season. So in order to win you ought to have a damn good day and India has to have a very bad day like Mamoon mentioned.

Prior to the match some said this side is not even close to 2018 Indian batch. After watching the match my take is, I don't think this team is that far off from 2018 batch. This team has better batting depth. Much more rounded attack given that this team has better spinners. Also fielding is top notch. 2018 looked better because there were a couple of potential genuises in the line up.

 

[MP2011]

Well done, our team. Wasn't too confident about our batting. I think our bowling is much stronger than our batting in this edition.

Commiserations to Pakistan kids.

 

[Shafi]

May be we should lower our expectation and accept the fact that our boys just don't have it. No point to create too much hype about our ordinary players otherwise they will perform even worse. Just let it be.

The others players couldn't play wrist spin at all, you should thank him that he scored 64 runs and played most of the overs of wrist spin otherwise it would have been a bloodbath like before against these wrist spinners.

He is the highest run scorer in district U19 one day
He is the highest run scorer of 6 teams U19 one day
He is the 3rd highest run scorer of 6 teams U19 3 days

He is selected because he is relative of Shoaib Malik?

Rofl did you see the pitches whatwas the affect of wrist spin here. EvenQasim Akram played spin onthat pitch.

Sindh U 19 team won the National One Day Cup in January, Huraira team could not even qualify for the finaland performers like Taha Khan and Saim Ayub were not picked by the head coach who took Central Punjab players.

Is'nt it hilarious that Shoaib Malik and now his relative career is being made on manipulating stats but the most imortant stat missing is how many matches they won and what was their performance against top teams. Hurraira hardly made 4os when challenged and has pathetic game when it comes to fast bowling.

Parchis are never justified no matter what stat you try to force down ones throat.

 

[Titan24]

Parchis are never justified no matter what stat you try to force down ones throat.

So what you are saying is that someone related to an ex cricketer shouldnt opt cricket as a career as he will be counted as parchi?

Shaheen Shah Afridi is also a parchi? Because he is the brother of ex test cricketer Riaz Afridi? As you are totally discounting performances because of relationship with ex cricketers.

Lol Saim Ayub is injured

Taha Khan played in the last WC, and flopped badly. He got selected because of merit, there is nothing you can do about it.

Saim Ayub also played a bunch of matches for Pakistan Under-19s in 2018/19.

[Abdullah719]

[ZamanFan]

Saim Ayub also played a bunch of matches for Pakistan Under-19s in 2018/19.

His scores were 15, 49, 2, 31, 7, 8, 21, 0, 10.

I was talking about
National One Day Cup 2019,

Here is Saim Ayub performance

32, 104, 30, 7, 79(in Final). He was dropped from a a game against Northerns and his position was constantly changed yet he still performed and showed consistency. His strike rate is also better than the players selected. Both matches where he scored his team Sindh U 19 won.


How this guy was ignored by biased Ijaz Ahmed is easy to decipher. Now for opener slot a Balochistan player Wahid Bangalzai was chosen his scores in National U 19 One Day Cup. His batting position was not changed and his performances minus Central Punjab and South Punjab was not upto the standard. Both matches Balochistan lost. In Central Punjab match Huraira made 162 after playing half of the total overs, while he also did'nt score well against other sides like Sindh.
15,29,116(Central Punjab), 84(South Punjab),2, 0(in Final)

 

[ZamanFan]

Lol Saim Ayub is injured

Taha Khan played in the last WC, and flopped badly. He got selected because of merit, there is nothing you can do about it.

Rofl he was playing in the club the other day. And he was not injured during the selections. The whole winning Sindh U19 team (winner of National One Day cup that happened in Nov. just 2 months back) was ignored by the coach and selectors, only Aarish Ali Khan(spinner) was selected for a side match where he was not allowed to bowl by Ijaz Ahmed.The politics of Ijaz Ahmed is quite evident.

Absolutely the way this guy Huraira was selected for few performances while flopping against good bowling in recent ODI tournament. The way he has been selected definitely raise questions. Guy does not have crease awareness. The way he was running and playing dot balls showed he was never prepared to take on a competitive team like his relative Shoaib Malik.
Shaheen Shah AFridi was not selected in teams where his borther was associated. He rose based on his own reason, he got attention after he consistently showed promise with a PSL T20 team.

How many batsmen for Pakistan have been selected like that. How many batsmen from U 19 in 2016 onwards were able to progress and play for Pakistan side teams?

Anyway if he was fit, he should have been selected ahead of Abdul Wahid Bangalzai, Huraira deserved his selection. Hurraira wasn't suppose to play QF, it was Abdul but he got injured.
