A very disappointing performance by U-19 team Pakistan in the quarter final. In chase of 276 runs, they are 6 down for only 97 runs. They were unbeaten in the group stages but on this crucial occasion, they are unable to control their emotions and most probably will lost this match and will be out of the competition. This is where the big match pressure comes into play and the under 19 team need more exposure to handle the pressure.
Australia always perform at their best level in global ICC tournaments, be it at the senior level, or the U19 level. In a low scoring competition, Australia managed to put up a massive total of 276/7 batting first. The Pakistani opening bowler Zeeshan Zameer conceded 76 runs from his 9 overs, while only Qasim Akram managed to keep his line and length. And in return, none of the Pakistani batsmen could score make a score in excess of 30. BTW, COVID is turning out to be a major issue. In the plate competition, two of the matches were cancelled after players tested positive.
Pakistan looked really bad in the match. The match felt like torture for them especially when they were batting. When you are chasing a score of 276, there needs to be a century or at least two or three half-centuries in the scorecard.
Meanwhile, Pakistan failed to score even 30. I think the best score, individual score for a batsman was 28

Nothing new as this is trademark of Pakistan cricket team Senior team is also having record like this unpredictable, so Juniors are also on same way. They were not good in group matches just reach here because most of the teams were very new and have no structure for cricket just Afghanistan is doing some better now they are already in Semi-Final and will face England here now Australia is already in Semi-Final, and they will face another Asian team from India vs Bangladesh where India is very strong but still no one can predict as any result can happen good thing we have all Asian teams in last 8 and now 2 surely in Semi-Finals which means cricket is still top game in Indian Sub-Continent, and they are very crazy about this.
Yes, that is true because almost all the countries in the Indian subcontinent are crazy about cricket and they also get backed by their fans. And I also agree about Pakistan because they always seem to lose at the big stage does no matter how strong they are on paper.
