Last IndU19 vs PakU19 match a final of a series was also drawn. But in Australian condition one always favors PakU19 over IndU19. IndU19 bowling has been very disciplined in Australia. It has bailed them out of batting failures. I hope captain Unmukt Chand a big match player comes good in the semis and finals and batsman H Vihari is also replaced.
as posted earlier, I pity that the U-19 teams are made to stay in dormitory/service aptmts and have to cook their own food,washing, cleaning etc. Since they are playing for their country, can't the boards provide them with atleast 3-star hotel with minimum facilities. Surely.they can find some sponsors. Please treat them as human beings especially when they are in a foreign country.

Thats absolutely true.. Players are putting their hardwork & we people are spending the money to watch the matches.. But, these filthy politicians are taking all the money without doing anything ...
I saw the match,both teams played well and both the teams were nervous.Typical India Pakistan match even at a junior level. Good luck to Indian team in the next matches.

The Tony Ireland pitch has been such that it has favored little bit swing, little bit extra bounce, little bit spin, yet neither too fast nor too slow. So only the disciplined batsman and bowlers on a particular day has been successful. U19 teams lack too much concentration or discipline so they are struggling with to bat particularly well here except individual brilliance of one or two guys. Ian Chappel made a statement that he feels the IndU19 and PakU19 are the only two teams with the best batting technique among all teams. I feel they have good defensive survival technique but not a good attacking technique.
