Pakistan lost another wicket, they lost 4 wickets in total and managed to get 61 runs on the scoreboard. The situation is bad for Pakistan as they now have a run rate which is below 3. The team was very dependent on the opening pair as these two had been batting well in the tournament. Australian bowling has been good but their fielding has been bad as they have dropped 2 catches. The pitch has bounce in it and their seamers utilized it to get wickets so is the spinner.
Amid Pakistan's batting woes, Azan Awais is in a defensive mood trying to prolong the innings and trying hard to add some runs to the score board. However, no matter how hard Pakistan U19 tries, it is not sure whether the maximum score of today's match will be up to 200 runs. However, to be promoted to the final, Pakistan must win today's match, but with the current playing conditions, it is not at all possible for Pakistan to win today's match. The performance of Pakistan U19 team is not good at all, so no matter how much Pakistan U19 tries today, if they do not give a good run target, the chances of winning will be low.
It is not exactly him, every other batters before him were playing defensive. They not bothered to rotate the strike or even take single run at this rate they won't even reach 200 runs. They previous match against Afghanistan they played so well and today it bad or we can very bad batting by Pakistan. They would need a decent total on the scoreboard to defend it which at the moment in not looking possible for them.
Pakistan's top order batsmen were all out while batting in a defensive mood.
Shahzaib khan 4 runs off 30 balls
Saad Baig 3 runs off 11 Balls
Ahmad Hassan 4 runs off 18 balls
Haroon Arshad 8 runs off 27
All the above actually got out while playing in defensive mode, in this case it was a mistake to face the top order batsmen in defensive mode. If the run rate would have been correct if the attacking innings was played, then the Pakistan U19 team's run target could have been 250+.
If the Pakistan U19 cricket team's run target is not 250+, there will be no chance of winning this match today. Because Australia under 19 cricket team is also very skilled. Australia Under 19 Cricket Team Expectation, They Will Play Final Match. So they will adopt any strategy to win this match. I am a supporter of Pakistan U19 Cricket Team and I want Pakistan U19 Cricket Team to reach the final by breaking all the tactics of Australia U19 Cricket Team in today's match.
