CHRISTCHURCH: India won semi-final of the ICC Under-19 World Cup against Pakistan by 203 being played at Christchurch’s Hagley Oval cricket ground here on Tuesday.
After electing to bat first, India set a 273-run target with the help of Shubman Gill’s 102-run innings, but Pakistan failed to inch even closer to the target as they were bowled out at 69 in just 29 overs.
After winning the toss, India chose to bat and determinedly scored run after run despite Pakistani bowlers’ persistent attempt at taking wickets, giving Pakistan a target of 272 runs against a nine-wicket loss.
Pakistan batsmen failed to put up a decent fight and were bowled out for 69 runs after just 21 overs.
Rohail Nazeer remained the highest scorer with 18 runs.
In the given number of overs, India’s Shubman Gill remained ‘not out’ at 102 runs, while Manjot Kalra and Prithvi Shaw scored 47 runs and 41 runs, respectively.
Muhammad Musa sent Shiva Singh off the pitch after the latter had only managed to bag a run.
Arshad Iqbal took three wickets against 51 runs while Musa took four against 67.
Shaheen Afridi, on the other hand, only took one wicket.
India has so far been unbeaten in the tournament and will face Australia in the finals of the World Cup on February 3.
This is white wash. It is not defeat it is total annihilation. Pak scored only 69 runs? How can they play at international level. One fluke win in Champion’s Trophy cannot hide all the ills that is plaguing Pak cricket. And why is Najam Sethi quiet on this defeat? Or only PSL and bilateral series with India matter to him?

When Najm Sethi picks his nephews and relatives then all the minions also do the same then we should not be surprised with this result in an international game. We have plethora of evidence which says that the corrupt are everywhere. From top to bottom corruption is flowing and this Parliament is the factory from where all mall practices and corrupt practices originate. Nothing will happen. As the originator is still there.
No one scored more than 18 runs in this Pakistani innings. They took another meaning of “Under-19” cricket ??
#IndVsPak #U19WorldCup
The worst ever defeat in indo-pak cricket history. How can & when will Pakistan do the same to Indian team. Seems that india took the match too seriously to score century by s gill for total of 273, whereas 73 runs were proved enough for Pakistan to score. Any guli street team from Karachi or Lahore could have score 75.
You r right. Only 72 runs should be enough. Or Pakistan should demand to play 20 players against such teams like India.
