Thanks!!!

Batting as usual looks so weak. 22/2 already. India seems to have far superior batting as always. 209/2.

They are playing all bowlers for some reason

Any good batsman in this team?

A few including faseeh who isnt playing today but obviously they havent done well today

Just hearing 5 down and still need 5 runs to win

Extremely poor batting by Pakistan

6 down, 2 runs needed to win.

Is there something wrong with the pitch, or is it that both teams have had a terrible batting day?

Made hard work of this.

Minefield or poor batting.

Not sure if any confidence can be taken from this apart from they beat afghans and should reach semis now

I don't know much about this Pakistan U19 squad, but Abdul Wahid Bangalzai, from Quetta, is one of the best batsmen in this team and a good future prospect also. He performed really well in the recent National T20 Tournament.

There is also Muhammad Huraira (I think), who is also very good talent and opening batsman.

Pics from the ground :)

Both Teams have nice kits. But perhaps Afghanistan kit looks more like Nepal Kit

He's not in the squad.

Pakistan Under-19 - Qasim Akram (captain), Abdul Faseeh, Abdul Wahid Bangalzai, Ahmed Khan, Ali Asfand, Arham Nawab, Awais Ali, Faisal Akram, Haseebullah, Irfan Khan Niazi, Maaz Sadaqat, Mehran Mumtaz, Mohammad Shehzad, Rizwan Mehmood, Zeeshan Zameer

Pak scorecard:-

Attachment 113820

Why did they leave out Abdul Faseeh?

Losing 6 wickets while chasing only 53 is not a good sign or may be the pitch was too difficult to bat.

Players like Bangalzai & Qasim Akram were expected to bat better as they have already played Quaid e Azam trophy.

And faisal akram left arm chinaman

Does anybody know who is the coach of Pakistan team.

Ijaz Ahmed!!!

Huraira wasn't suppose to play in the last WC playing 11 until Abdul Wahid got injured during the tournament. Abdullah Shafique wasn't selected for U19 2018 WC.

There is no merit in Pakistan. Abdul Faseeh is by the best technical batsman in this team yet he isn't playing.

Dubai, 23 December 2021: Fast bowlers Ahmed Khan, Awais Ali and Zeeshan Zameer blew away Afghanistan U19 as Pakistan U19 got off to a winning start in the ACC U19 Asia Cup with a four-wicket win at the ICC Cricket Academy Oval 2 on Thursday.

Afghanistan, who won the toss and opted to bat first, lost half of their batting side on the score of 12. Nangeyalia Kharote, coming to bat at number-seven, was the only batter to score in double figures, 15 off 27, and struck three fours.

Right-arm fast Ahmed took three for 21 from six overs which included dismissals of Suliman Safi (four off 19b), Ijaz Ahmad Ahmadzai (one off six) and Ijaz Ahmed Azad (first ball duck).

Right-arm pacers Awais and Zeeshan grabbed two wickets apiece for nine and 12 runs, respectively.

In their run-chase, Pakistan lost six wickets before achieving the target in the 17th over.

Only two batters managed to enter into double figures with opening batter Maaz Sadaqat returning unbeaten on 14 off 46, hitting one four.

For Afghanistan, Noor Ahmad picked three wickets for 20. Right-arm fast Bilal Sami bagged two wickets for 16.

Pakistan U19 will take on India U19 in their second match of the tournament on 25 December at the same venue.

Scores in brief:

Pakistan U19 beat Afghanistan U19 by four wickets

Afghanistan U19 52 all out, 23.1 overs (Nangeyalia Kharote 15; Ahmed Khan 3-21, Awais Ali 2-9, Zeeshan Zameer 2-12)

Pakistan U19 53-6, 16.4 overs (Maaz Sadaqat 14 not out; Noor Ahmed 3-20, Bilal Sami 2-16)

I think he needs to work hard on batting otherwise India would thrash this team.

It proves Ramiz is right!!! We need foreign coaches in grass-root level.

Abdul faseeh and Mazz Sadaqat and haseebullah are the standout players qasim akram is the all rounder.

Shahzard and irfan Khan are problerly the weeker links.

They played the wrong team.

I have only seen Banglzai play so have no idea about other batsmen.This was a poor performance by Pakistan batsmen.They should not have lost more than two wickets at the most.I hope the right team is selected for the next match.They players should play their natural game and not worry about losing.

Shezad was the top batsman in this years compettions and he is a medium pacer too so looking forward to him. Every batter failed today so cant blame him

Irfan Khan played in the last 2020 Under-19 Cricket World Cup So did shazad.

Irfan khan played for central Punjab If am correct also he's from Mianwali=misbah.

Considering how every batter struggled, I think it's safe to say the pitched sucked or was a landmine.

I have seen irfan khan bat multiple times.
I have seen clips of parchi shahzad who will play 2 under 19s World cups.

Whilst abdul faseeh has played second xi and performed well u19s in domestic competitions last year.

Do we have a chance against India with this kind of batting performance?

I based It upon his development from the last u19s World cup

Whenever I have a bad day, seeing things like this always makes things better no matter what.

Afghanistan vs Pakistan at ICC Academy 2

Pakistan restrict Afghanistan to a paltry 52 runs and win by four wickets

Pakistan bowled out Afghanistan for 52 runs in their first match at the ICC Academy Ground 2 and recorded a four-wicket victory. Ahmed Khan bagged three wickets for 21 runs, well backed by Zeeshan Zameer (2 for 12) and Awais Ali (2 for 9), to restrict Afghanistan in 23.1 overs. Afghanistan fought back valiantly and took six wickets before Pakistan won with 200 balls to spare.

Afghanistan won the toss and elected to bat but got off to a shaky start. They lost their opener Suliman Arabzai to the fifth ball of the first over, getting run out for a duck. One-drop batsman Bilal Sayedi too quickly followed, caught behind by wicketkeeper Haseebullah Khan off Zeeshan Zameer for a duck. Afghanistan skipper and opener Suliman Saif lasted just 19 balls to score four runs and fell leg before to Ahmed Khan. Soon Ahmed Khan also trapped Ijaz Ahmad Ahmadzai leg before for a duck. When Izharulhaq Naveed too fell caught by Irfan Khan off Ahmed Khan, half of the Afghanistan side were back in the pavilion for 12 runs in 5.6 overs.

Nangeyalia Khan and Mohammad Ishaq tried hard to lift their team out of trouble. They put on 27 runs for the sixth wicket from 59 deliveries before Nangeyalia Khan got bowled by Pakistan skipper Qasim Akram for 15. One run later, Awais Ali dismissed Izharullahq Naveed for 1. Ishaq, who withstood 36 deliveries to score nine runs, became another Awais Ali victim. Ali Asfand and Zameer took the last two wickets to bowl out Afghanistan for a paltry 52 runs in 23.1 overs.

Chasing the moderate total, Pakistan lost their opener Abdul Wahid for nine runs in the fifth over to Bilal Sami. One-drop Mohammad Shahzad too got out to Sami for a duck. Two down for 18 in seven overs, opener Maaz Ahmad Sadaqat and Haseebullah played cautiously and steadied the innings. They put on 24 runs in 32 balls before Haseebullah got clean bowled by Noor Ahmad Lakhanwal for 11. Lakanwal also dismissed Qasim Akram for a duck. Pakistan slipped to 48 for 5 when Izharullahq Naveed trapped Mohammad Irfan Khan leg before for 4. Lakanwala also clean bowled Rizwan Mehmood Syed for 2 before opener Sadaqat took the team to the target remaining unbeaten on 14.

Commenting on the victory Pakistan skipper Qasim Akram said: “We are very happy to get off to a winning start. We bowled really well although the finish was not what we wanted. We will work harder on our batting. We lost some quick wickets due to some rushed shots. Overall we are happy with our performance.”

Player of the match Awais Ali is delighted at his performance. “Our plan was to end the Afghanistan innings quickly. I am delighted to have contributed to it. Our objective was to contain the runs and I am happy I could pick some quick wickets too. I am also thrilled at being the first Player of the Match of this tournament.”

Afghanistan skipper Sulaiman Safi attributed his team’s defeat to the insufficient score. “Being the first match, our batsmen struggled to get used to the conditions. If we had at least 100 runs we are confident we would have pulled off a victory. We have learned a lot from this match and will come back stronger in the next.”

Is he still eligible to play u19 cricket? If yes, they should have selected him looking at the WC starting in January.

I expected Afghans to do better.

They generally do well at U-19 level.
