Pakistan continued their powerful unbeaten streak and remain impressive with both bat and ball. Clearly they are the better team out of the three teams in this tournament. They have consistently done well in all of the matches so far. This is some very promising young talent on show.

Toss: Pakistan Under-19s won the toss and chose to bat

Teams:

Pakistan Under-19s: Sami Aslam (c), Hasan Raza, Saud Shakeel, Hussain Talat, Farhan Nazir, Zafar Gohar, Rafay Ahmed, Kamran Ghulam, Saifullah Khan(wk), Zia-ul-Haq, Mohammad Aftab.

England Under-19s: JA Tattersall, HZ Finch, RF Higgins, BM Duckett(c)(wk), WMH Rhodes, LD McManus, MAH Hammond, JR Winslade, J Shaw, AW Ireland, TE Barber

Pakistan chose to bat today, and it proved to be more than just the right move. Captain Sami Aslam once again kept his consistency and scored yet another half-century. In fact, most of the top order came in with valuable contributions. Talat and Ahmed scored 23 and 35 respectively and Hasan Raza propelled the U-19s with 71 runs. But, a knock definitely worth mentioning, was Kamran Ghulam's. He scored 102 off 56 balls not out. This solid performance was more than enough to take Pakistan U-19's to a very defendable total of 369/7.

England required 370 runs to win, and with the powerful bowling attack the Pakistan U-19's possess the match clearly seemed in their favour. Zia-Ul-Haq struck in his first over and picked up another one later ending with an impressive economy of 3.33. Zafar Gohar struck with 4 wickets, and the only batsmen worth mentioning for England was Higgins with his 65. Everyone collapsed below 22 runs besides Rhodes with his 32.
