IND U19 vs PAK U19 Live: (65/3), Mhatre goes for duck after Vaibhav Suryavanshi's goof-up

Ayush Mhatre in Under-19 50-over games

• Inngs : 19
• Runs : 242
• Avg : 12.73
• 50s : 1
• Ducks : 3*
  
  

Despite doing well in domestic cricket and even in the IPL, Mhatre is yet to unlock his best version in Youth ODIs. Fascinating.

 🇵🇰 on top 

What is going on here? The match has turned upside down in a matter of 4 balls. Yes. Pakistan have bagged 3 wickets in a span of 4 balls as Abdul Subhan strikes in his first ball of the day. The tall pacer, who relies on pitching at the right areas, delivered a jaffa straight up, hitting the top of the off against Aaron George (16). 

Vihaan Malhotra and Vedant Trivedi are the two new batters, with both yet to get off the mark. 

It goes from bad to worse for India U19 as Pakistan have Ayush Mhatre for a duck. Superb bowling from Sayyam as he gets his second in three balls. A tame poke outside off stump and a simple catch to keeper. There was a moment that fortune was with Mhatre as umpires checked for a potential no-ball. However, there was something inside the line for Sayyam.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi OUT 🚨

But Suryavnashi fails to make the most of the chance as he nicks one on the next ball. Mohammed Sayyam with a superb strike as he gets his reward for bowling good lines. 

Suryavanshi - 30(22) [4s-5 6s-1]

Pakistan doing Pakistan things

• Mohammad Sayyam bowls a short ball to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi.
• Vaibhav pulls the ball, but it tops the edge and goes high in the air, becoming a catchable chance for Huzaifa Ahsan.
• Huzaifa Ahsan fails to take the catch, dropping the ball, making a mess of it.
• The dropped catch leads to a missed run-out chance as Huzaifa's throw to the keeper's end is mishandled by the approaching fielder, allowing Vaibhav to escape.
• Basically two chances to dismiss Suryavanshi but they spill both. 

IND U19: 46/0 after 6.4 overs (Suryavanshi 30* off 17, George 15* off 23)

So an entertaining start to the 🇮🇳 vs 🇵🇰 match as we see a couple of boundaries and now a missed chance. Ali Raza bowls a hard length delivery and George couldn't keep it down. The ball went high in the air but the short square leg fielder failed to reach towards the ball. Soon, Vaibhav Suryavanshi punishes the pacer with a beautiful boundary towards the off side. 

IND: 24/0 after 3 overs. 

Aaron George takes strike as Vaibhav Suryavanshi also enters the fray. For Pakistan, the new ball is taken by Ali Raza and the first ball stays a bit low. However, India's first runs come in the form of a wide.

It is time for the national anthems as we head closer to the match time. Pakistan's followed by India.

It is not just an ordinary match. It is India vs Pakistan. On top of that, the clash is more so important in terms of qualification chances. 

India qualify if they win or lose by close margin. India have a NRR of +3.337. 

Pakistan qualify if they win by huge margin. What margin? Well, since they are batting second, the game for them becomes less than 30 overs. They have a NRR of +1.484. 

Pakistan and India - All to play for the semi final spot.
