AUS-U19 vs PAK-U19 Team Previews

Australia U19

The Australian team has been pretty consistent in this tournament with most players chipping in through various stages.

Harry Dixon is in excellent form at the top of the order and has scored 2 half-centuries in his 5 innings. However, his opening partner, Harjas Singh, has struggled a bit and would like to play better in this match. Skipper Hugh Weibgen has led the team from the front and is the leading run-scorer with 252 runs.

He will be a vital cog in the middle order. Sam Konstas scored an excellent century in the last match. The team also has a couple of all-rounders in the form of Raf Macmillan, Oliver Peake, and Charlie Anderson, who add depth to the batting.

Coming to the bowling, Callum Vidler has bowled well to pick up 11 wickets and is the leading wicket-taker for Australia in this tournament. He will be supported by Charlie Anderson and Tom Starker in the seam department, while Macmillan and Tom Campbell are likely to lead the spin attack. 

Pakistan U19

Pakistan has been in brilliant form throughout this tournament and like their opponents, are unbeaten so far.<br /> Shahzaib Khan and Shamyl Hussain are likely to open the batting for Pakistan in this match.

Shahzaib is in particularly good form and has scored 260 runs at an average of 65.00. The middle order consists of some quality batsmen like Azan Awais, Saad Baig, and Ahmad Hassan. However, they have been a bit inconsistent and the team will need at least one of them to step up and play a big inning.

In the bowling department, Ubaid Shah is in red-hot form and has picked up 17 wickets. He is among the top 3 wicket-takers of this tournament. Ali Raza and Mohammad Zeeshan will play a supporting role to him, while Arafat Minhas and Ali Asfand are likely to feature in the spin department.
