NZ vs AFG U-19 WC
AFG won the toss and decided to bat first. Lost couple early wickets, Zadran and Zurmatai had little nice partnership, played some good shots, but they couldn't hold to bowling from Rowe and this partnership was run short, what a beauty get Zurmatai bowled out, similar one to get Agha out too. Rowe went on to take a fifer and AFG could only musher up 91 runs.
Match was over for Afghans so I thought, but nope NZ comes to bat and Gazhanfar takes 3 early wickets and puts NZ into trouble from start which they were never able to get out as they barely win the game by 1 wicket.
NZ needed 2 runs to win at one point with 2 wickets in hand and then Naseer Khan mankanding Schreuder had everyone surprised. Definitely one of my favorite moments so far.

South Africa U19 were bowled out for 230 runs in yesterday's match and England U19 did not have a tough time at all. The South Africa Under-19 team did fairly well at the start but suffered a batting disaster as the team fell for two consecutive wickets of 71 and 72 runs. Such a batting disaster at home was not at all desirable. Had the rain not interrupted tomorrow's match, the England Under-19 team would have had a 100% chance of victory. England U19 beat South Africa U19 by 36 runs in tomorrow's match in special DLS format to top the points table and England U19 are top of the points table with a total of four points after winning two matches in a row.

Australia vs Namibia U-19 WC
No way Namibia were gonna win the match with score of 91, that too against team like Australia, if it's cricket and team is Australia they must be strong in cricket, but Namibia gave a good fight.
Two wickets taken by Vidler with yorkers were joy to watch, there were too many caught behinds from Namibia batsmans, felt like I was watching replays, Namibia needs to work on their batting (if it wasn't obvious from score they put).

Australia under 19 team has the first position in their group and they played a match and they won it which cause of their number 1 position and the match that they won was a too-suspended match, and the match that they won was the match against Namibia under 19 team and of course, this match was won by them because Namibia is such a poor performance team but on that match, they play that with their full force and they played like a big team as big teams played, and this match was played yesterday at Kimberley.
I thought the Australian under 19s team to be one of the favorite team to win this Under 19 World Cup but the way they played with Namibia, it raised a lot of questions in my mind. Need to re-evaluate my thoughts on the team Australia.
The way Afghanistan U19 team performed against New Zealand U19 team is really disappointing because if Afghanistan batsmen could have batted more responsibly then they could have won this match today. Afghanistan Under 19 bowlers bowled brilliantly against New Zealand. Afghanistan U19 team lost today's match due to Afghanistan's weak batting. If the Afghanistan batsmen could have given New Zealand U19 a target of 120 runs, Afghanistan U19 might have won. New Zealand Under-19 batsmen had to fight hard to achieve a 92-run jay target against the Afghans. New Zealand Under 19 team won by one wicket dramatically.
You are disappointed with Afghanistan? New Zealand just managed to scrape through. With just one wicket remaining, they still needed 2 runs to win. The match would have swung either way. Fortunately for New Zealand, their tailend batsman Matt Rowe somehow managed to score two runs, so that the no.11 batsman Ryan Tsourgas didn't faced a single ball. But it was an incredible fightback from Afghanistan. After being bowled out for just 91 runs, they almost managed to win the match. And this match shows that Afghanistan's future in cricket is very bright.
In the match between NZ U19 and AFG U19, AFG batted first and bowled out on 91 runs. Only 2 batsmen and extras are in the double digits. Matt Rowe bowled beautifully for his five-wicket haul.

NZ captain is the ray of hope for them in this run chase. NZ should win this match as they only required 13.
That was low score match . Afghanistan U19 team target was not enough to win match. Afghanistan batsmans didn't play well. I didn't expect that kind of performance from Afghanistan U19 team . They are aggressive players and that's why they all out by making only 91 runs. That is OD cricket and one team should make partnership for winning match. New Zealand U19 team also played very poor but at the end luck involves in it and luck was in favor of New Zealand.

At this time, the U19 World Cup was playing as you know and I decided to tell you the number 1 position of all the teams. I will start this from group D and we are going in descending order so let's start it. In group D, Pakistan has a number position by winning against Afghanistan with a huge run rate and there is no team in the season of the U19 World Cup from every group who won with this run rate.
They played just a match and they had a victory on their first match and they will play their second match tomorrow against Nepal Under 19 team and I hope this time the Pakistan team will win again.

ICC Under-19 World Cup 10th Match Group B South Africa Under-19 vs England Under-19. In today's 10th match, South Africa under 19 team batted first after losing the toss. South Africa Under 19 team players did not perform well in batting. All wickets of the South Africa Under-19 team fell before the 50 overs of the first innings were played, and at 230, the first innings stood. I think with a score of 230 runs, it will be very difficult for South Africa U19 to win the match against England U19. Because in the second innings game, the bowling line of the bowlers of the South Africa under 19 team does not look good. South Africa Under-19 bowlers have bowled 28.3 overs so far. Apart from only 2 wickets by England U19 in 28.3 overs, South Africa U19 bowlers failed to take any wickets. In the second innings, the opposition England U19 batting line-up very good. However, the batsmen of England under 19 team are batting very slowly. England U19's score so far, 137-2 (28.3 runs). But unfortunately after England U19 batted in 28.3 overs, the match was stopped by rain. This match has now been stopped due to rain interruption. Now if the rain clears soon we can enjoy the match again
If the game starts again with DL method, it would significantly boost the chances of England winning but otherwise it's a level game between South Africa and England U19 to this period.
The more interesting match was between Afghanistan U19 and New Zealand U19. Afghanistan were packed up in a low score and it was predicted to be an easy chase for the kiwis. But they kept losing wickets and just were able to reach the target of 92 at the loss of 9 wickets. One consecutive wicket and New Zealand would have lost. The competition for the 3rd place on each group are going to be a tough one as the top 2 are easily predictable.

A lucky win for NZ U19s, a tough luck for Afghanistan U19s.
Afghanistan's under-19 spinners showed great resilience in defending a low total. At one point, it seemed they were on the verge of successfully defending it, but New Zealand's under-19 team managed to secure a narrow victory with just 1 wicket remaining.
but, I'm optimistic that Afghanistan U19s will continue to shine in spin bowling, much like their senior team. The future looks bright for Afghanistan.

New Zealand's Under 19 team won the match against Afghanistan and Afghanistan's Under 19 team was too near to winning but yet so far away, this is the beauty of the Under 19 World Cup.
In yesterday's match same condition was come but last time, in the second innings team lost 6 wickets and then they chased this target but this time New Zealand broke this record and they lost 9 wickets, and last time the team who played used 19.5 overs but New Zealand also break it also they used 28 overs to chase this target against Afghanistan and I think if Australia was also there so they also play like that because Australia had a match with Namibia and New Zealand had a match with Afghanistan.

In the other match, SA U19 set a target of 231 for ENG U19. The start from SA openers was impressive, but those three ducks will haunt them if they lose this match. SA lower order also put up some fight to achieve a good total. By the look of it, this match might get close. The ENG captain will be the key in this run chase as he is batting with intent.
Today, South Africa U19 batted well at the start. But still their batting style changed and they lost consecutive wickets with three batsmen out for no runs which gave them a big blow. Moreover, the fall of the fourth and fifth wickets between their 114 runs did not prolong their innings much as they were all out for just 230 runs in 49.2 overs. An opening batsman of the England U19 team has already been dismissed and has gone to the dressing room. England Under 19 team is currently collecting 49 runs for 1 wicket in nine overs.
