Much awaited contest of U19 world cup between India and Pak has started. Pakistan winning the toss decided to bat and lost Huraira very early and are now 27/1 in 5.3 overs. Haider is taking a lead and has played few fantastic shots in the early innings and would like to build the innings so that Pakistan can leverage the last 10 overs when they have wickets in hand.

After whitewashed by India during the T20 series (0-5), now New Zealand can focus their attention to the ODI series. Fortunately for them, there will be only 3 matches. Losing 0-3 is much better than losing 0-5, in my opinion. All of their strike bowlers are missing (Trent Boult, Lockie Ferguson, and Matt Henry) and as usual Tim Southee will lead the Kiwi cannon fodder against India.
Yes, after the whitewash they should focus on the one-day series but I doubt they will be able to perform well. Their morale is down and the NZ player body language suggests a lack of confidence. With Rohit Sharma out of the one-day squad, Indian players will have a completely different approach towards the game.
I am sure Prithvi shaw will be given a chance as an opener with KL Rahul.
This is a big blow to team India because he was in form batsman and a good player for ODI matches as he plays those long innings and also can convert 50 into 100 quite fast. Now with his absence this would mean that there would be another new opening pair between Rahul and somebody else. Also would be intertying to see who will open with Rahul now in ODI.
Loosing Rohit Sharma is a big blow but they can now give opportunities to other players and Prithvi Shaw might replace Rohit Sharma along with KL Rahul. Just two ODI and i am expecting a much better performance from New Zealand and hopefully they will challenge in the longer format.Sharmaji ka launda is the cutest player to watch in the Indian team with his effortless smile and equally effortless sixes.
Sharmaji plays the shots effortlessly and he can score huge sixes with ease but not sure about the cute part 
.Yes now Shaw has a good chance to prove the selectors that he should also be picked if he is able to perform better in the coming matches . I would always want Rohit to be in the team unless he is injured because the way he start his innings and continue is some i g to be learnt by other players . And when he is on pitch he can guide his partners and also the player automatically gets confidence seeing his effortless shorts and the runs he makes latter in his innings .

Sharmaji ka launda is the cutest player to watch in the Indian team with his effortless smile and equally effortless sixes. Yet, His journey has also been filled with such last-minute screw ups. He has always been a T20 star and his T20 performances were the reason that he found himself playing ODIs for India, and excelled at them too. Now just when he was cementing himself as a test player, comes another ill-timed injury.
Yet, Sharmaji still manages to smile through it and look like the typical friendly bhaiya who would come and hit a few sixes in our gully-cricket matches and just walk off with elan.

Rohit's gone for the rest of the matches so it's going to put more pressure on the team with their main batsmen resting now. Hardik also is not playing and Dhawan not included in the squad. Leaves options like Dube whose performance was mind blowing in T20.
T20 was still having to deal with just 20 overs but in ODI, 50 overs are just too much to handle with inexperienced batsmen. I don't see any good chances of winning unless the opening pair (which is going to be a new one) performs well.

There are 3 U19 matches going on currently. SA vs WI - SA was all out for 143 and in response WI are 23/2 in 4.4 overs. Seems should a good competition if SA can pick more quick wickets. JPN was all out for 115 runs and in response NIG are 55/1 in 11.1 overs and in third match UAE got all out batting first for 174 runs and Canada are now 20/1 in 5.2 overs.
@onrise it seems that South Africa’s chocking habit is not going away, and currently West Indies are only 59 runs away from victory and have 6 wickets in hand. Nigeria has comfortably won their match against Japan, and it’s a shame that we see such low scoring games in the World Cup. Further it seems that Canada may loose their match unless they start playing the big shots anyone watching this game or no?.
WI in the end win the match comfortably by 4 wickets and 8.2 overs to spare. Canada also won the match by 4 wickets and 7.3 overs to spare. The games like Japan and Nigeria who is into really into cricket may still has a long way to go before they can start making some good scores and bowl well.
West Indies did won this match easily but they would never forget the quarterfinal U19 which they lost by their own mistakes. With this they ended up as No. 5. They were much more capable of and don't deserve to be at such low position.

I was following the U19 World Cup for the past few days and things are going to get really exciting now. India and Pakistan will be taking on each other (on 4th February) in the cricketing field after almost 8 months (the last match was during 2019 Cricket World Cup, in which India defeated the Pakistanis by 89 runs). I have a feeling that the winner of this semi-final may become the champions as well. The other semi-final is between New Zealand and Bangladesh and it is going to be very closely contested.
Thanks for letting us know about the match between I dia and Pakistan. It is a must watch, any format cricket match between the arch rival is a must watch. It will be a guaranteed pressure match with close finish.
The match between India and Pakistan will be played at the Senwes Park ground in Potchefstroom, South Africa. According to the weather update, scattered showers are predicted, but I guess we will be having a full 50-over match. Pakistan had a comfortable (and controversial) victory over their other arch rivals (Afghanistan) during the quarter finals, while India had destroyed Australia in their QF match.
This could be the most viewed match in this U19 world cup. As both team playing to win it is going to be a interesting match and a pressure game as well. Among both teams met in last 5 matches in U19, statistics show India has won 4 out of that. Hopefully rain do not reduce the 50 over game and we have full contest.
India will have an upper hand on this match and they will dominate. Remember they have beaten Australians in the Quarterfinals which is much better team than the Afghanistan, whom Pakistan have beaten. India will be favorites to win this but the hype of this match will be very high.

I did not watch the match between Pakistan Vs Afghanistan but now got interest in this U19 World cup as we will see Ind Pak semi-final
By the way what was controversial in the quarterfinal match which Pakistan won ?

Right now, it looks as if West Indies is the strongest team among all the 16 teams participating in the 2020 U19 World Cup. As of now, they are about to win their super league quarter final match against New Zealand. They have performed well so far, and their pace bowlers have been phenomenal. If they win today's match, then they will be facing the winner of the match between Bangladesh and South Africa.
You need to re-evaluate your statement. You strongest team WEST INDIES is out of the U19 World cup and its the NZ team which progressed further. WI was not able to finish the game and took the match easy in the last 5 overs which caused them the match.
When I made the post, it looked as if West Indies would win easily. And it looks like they got choked during the final overs. At one point, New Zealand were struggling at 8/153. They needed another 86 runs to win. Who would have thought that West Indies would lose from this point? The partnership between Joey Field and Kristian Clarke took the Kiwis to the semi-finals (where they will face a weak Bangladesh) and now West Indies can blame themselves for the missed opportunity.
Till the 48th over, I still believed that WI will win the match but NZ win was more than a miracle. If West Indies could get one more wicket, they could have got the match but unfortunately they were unable to get any wickets in the last 5 overs.
