It is just 7 over and Pakistan took 30 run. The required run rate is handball and so I want to also say that this match gonna be easy for Pakistan u19. They are quite strong from the nepali under 19 cricket team. If Pakistan team just can hold the wicket then this match will be their hand easily. I think Pakistan will win before the 45over in this match.

Namibia 19 Vs Sri Lanka U19
SL U19 133/All out
NAMU19 21/6( till my post)

Namibia U19 bowled out Sri Lanka U19 for 133 runs in today's match, so it looks like Namibia U19 will win today's match. But Namibia Under-19 suffered a serious batting disaster as they fell by six wickets for 21 runs. It is doubtful whether the Namibia U19 team will be able to top 50 runs in today's match.

Pakistan U19 Vs Nepal U19

Pakistan U19 team bowled out Nepal U19 team for 197 all out.  But in this case Nepal's under 19 team played up to fifty overs. But in today's match relatively strong team Pakistan under 19 team has 100% chance to win.

The most remember-able thing on the game between Nepal U19 and Pakistan U19 was that 5 runs run. The pakistani fielder did their best to save a 4 but in the meanwhile Nepali batsmen were able to run five times. Nepal had always been agile on crease and the field and 198 is a defendable target. Nepal's wicket kept coming and they were not able to build up a good partnership.
Pakistan have started their batting slow but they haven't conceived any wickets. Nepal would need quick wickets coming if they want to keep themselves in the game. Once the Pakistani batsmen are set, the target is easy for them to achieve. Even they lose, they would be happy to drag the game till the last of overs as both the underdog teams in the group, Nepal and Afghanistan would hope for wining the game between themselves as their prime motive.

In Men ICC Under 19 World Cup, one match Nepal U19 sqaud against squad Pakistan U19 is ongoing on crease and in this match Pakistan U19 squad seem strong sqaud then Napal U10 squad. First batting inning was finished and Nepal U19 squad was completed this inning and thei performance was not good just normal defeating target. After playing 50 overs, Nepal U19 squad successfully collected 197 scores with lost of all batters. Nepal U19 batting inning, Bipin Rawal batter was played very good inning and collected good scores but Pakistani U19 squad bowler Arafat Minhas wiped out him form crease after he had collected 39 scores off 68 deliveries. Arafat Minhas bowler performance in this match was incredible because he picked three good batters of Nepal U19 sqaud. Same situation occured with another batters of Nepal U19 sqaud who was scoring well and but got out. Let's see who Pakistani squad batters displayed their batting inning on crease and also secured their victory in this match.

I thought Sri Lanka could muster around 150 as requested by 19 teams. But their innings ended with just 133 runs. 204 against Zimbabwe and also scored 200+ runs in the previous warm up matches. Today their batsmen batted very badly.

Sri Lanka U19 bowlers are very talented. Their bowling lineup is strong. Zimbabwe team managed to collect only 84 runs against Sri Lanka in the previous match. So I would not say that Namibia will win easily with a target of 133 runs. Sri Lanka have a chance to win now if the bowlers are able to bowl well.
Namibia collected only 14 runs in 8 overs and lost one wicket. They could not collect even 2 runs per over.

Namibia Under-19 team bowled brilliantly against Sri Lanka Under-19 team Sri Lanka Under-19 team bowled out for just 133 runs by Namibia Under-19 team bowlers. Sri Lanka Under 19 batsmen should have batted more responsibly. Because the target of 133 runs could not give a big target to the Sri Lanka Under-19 team. But the bowling line of Sri Lanka Under-19 team is very good, let's see how well they can bowl against Namibia Under-19 team. Namibia batsmen lost one wicket early to bat with a target of 134 runs. Namibia Under-19 team should bat very responsibly so as not to lose wickets too quickly. If Namibia batsmen can bat well then they will easily win today's match as only 134 runs.

I thought Sri Lanka U19 team was stronger than Namibia U19 team. But I am completely disappointed with the performance of Sri Lanka U19 team.

Namibia's captain won the toss and decided to field. And they are bowling quite well. Apart from Supun Waduge, no other batsman in the Sri Lankan squad can bat well. Sri Lanka lost 6 batsmen to collect 98 runs. At the end of 33 overs, Sri Lanka collected 114 runs under 19 teams. Supun Waduge remains unbeaten with 40 runs. Sri Lanka may lose all their wickets before 150.
The performance of Sri Lankan players was quite good against Zimbabwe in the previous match as well. But today they are not able to bat well against Namibia. However, Sri Lanka's bowling order is quite strong.

Nepal Under 19 team is playing slowly and still losing a lot of wickets. They have lost five wickets making only 105 runs in over 30+ overs. Bipin Rawal was looking good at 39 runs but he got out by Arafat Minhas. The captain Dev Khanal also got out making only 23 runs. The rest of the batsmen unable to make any good runs. Gulsan Jha and Deepak Dumre on the batting crease but they still have 17+ overs to bat and try to make runs near to 200.

If we see the bowling of the Pakistan bowlers then Ahmed Hussain got 2 wickets while Arafat Minhas also got the same two wickets. Pakistan bowlers are doing a good job in this match too and look like they will not let Nepal batsmen run away with the runs.

The batsmen of the Sri Lanka Under 19 team came out to bat first and the Lankan batsmen were under a lot of pressure after losing two wickets after 20 runs. The way the batsmen of Sri Lanka U19 team are batting, if they bat like this, wickets will fall very quickly, they will not be able to play the entire over, so they should bat very responsibly. Sri Lanka Under 19 team's current score is 79 runs for 5 wickets in 23 overs. The current playing situation of Sri Lanka U19 team looks like if Sri Lankan batsmen can bat well they can score 230 runs. If Namibia Under-19 team can restrict Sri Lanka U19 team to 230 runs then it will be very easy for them to win the match. The bowlers of the Namibia Under-19 team are bowling brilliantly. Zacheo Van Vuuren is bowling brilliantly. Zacheo Van Vuuren took four crucial wickets the Sri Lanka U19 team thanks to his excellent bowling.

Three matches of U19 World Cup are being held today.In the 12th match of the U19 World Cup, Sri Lanka U19 team is facing Namibia U19 team. In the 13th match, Scotland U19 team is facing West Indies U19 team. In the 14th match, Pakistan U19 team is facing Nepal U19 team.

•12th match Sri Lanka U19 vs Namibia U19
Sri Lanka U19 and Namibia U19 are in Group "C" of the 2024 World Cup. Where Sri Lanka U19 team is at number two in the points table and Namibia U19 team is at the bottom of the points table. Earlier Sri Lanka U19 team played one match and they won one while Namibia U19 team played one match and they lost one. If Sri Lanka U19 win against Namibia U19 today, they will move to the top of the points table.

•13th match Scotland U19 vs West Indies U19
Both Scotland U19 and West Indies U19 are in Group "B" where West Indies U19 are at number three and Scotland U19 are at number four. Both the teams have played one match each and they have lost only one match and the team that wins today will improve their position in the points table.

•14th match Pakistan U19 vs Nepal U19
Pakistan U19 team and Nepal U19 team are  group "D" of 2024 World Cup where Pakistan is at number two and Nepal at number three in the points table. Originally Nepal U19 team was bottom in this group before Afghanistan team was ahead of them but Afghanistan team played their two matches and they lost both as a result, Afghanistan U19 team is now at the bottom of the group.

All the best to all the six teams participating in the U19 World Cup today to give their best and lead their team to victory.

In the first match Srilanka should win comfortably against Namibia, second match West Indies should win and in the last match Pakistan has the upper edge. I was looking at the point table and saw these 4 countries (Bangladesh, New Zealand, England, and India) looking strong for now. I still feel that Australia and Pakistan should make a comeback and start wining all their games.

Sri Lanka 19 Vs Namibia 19
West Indies 19 Vs Scotland 19
Nepal 19 Vs Pakistan 19

The Under 19's are ready to play today. Today three matches will be played in one day where we will find it difficult to get updates of each match. But I am looking forward to watch the match between Pakistan U19 and Nepal U19 on TV screen today. Pakistan, Sri Lanka and West Indies are likely to win today's game.

But the game between New Zealand U19 and Afghanistan U19 was the most entertaining. But regrettably, if Afghanistan U19 could have added some more runs, New Zealand U19 would have been bowled out.

We are going to Group D in of this U19 World Cup, as you know I started a series in which I will tell you the number 1 position team in this under-19 World Cup, and at this time the number 1 team in England but maybe when you see this post so it is changed because, at this time, a match was playing between England and West Indies, and the country who will win this match come to number 1 position, and the match that England won and which helped to them to make a number 1 position is the match of Scoth land vs England and England won it then they were qualified for the number 1 position.

I really enjoyed this match by the way. Afghanistan gave 92 runs target. And the New Zealand was really good in bowling especially see the performance of Matt Rowe. He was good in bowling and collected 5 wickets. Matche become interesting when New Zealand started playing they lost 5 wickets on 42 runs. They won the match with remaining one wicket left. I really appreciate the performance of Afghanistan in bowling. By the way Congratulations to New Zealand. 

This match between Afghanistan U19 team and New Zealand U19 team was full of excitement. I thought New Zealand U19 would win this match very easily but Afghanistan U19 bowled brilliantly. New Zealand Under 19's first wicket fell for 16 runs followed by their second third and fourth wickets for 23 runs which left them in a lot of trouble. In the end, New Zealand U19 defeated Afghanistan U19 by one wicket in Dramatically.

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.

England U19 defeated South Africa U19 by DLS method in a rain interrupted match between South Africa U19 and England U19. In their first match between the two teams, South Africa U19 team scored 230 which was a very small score for England U19 team.Chasing a target of 231, England Under-19 batted for a while before rain came and play was called off. England U19 scored 137 runs for 2 wickets in 28 overs which resulted in England U19 winning the DLS method.

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.

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.
