u19 WC 2010 Semi Final: Pakistan v West Indies @ Lincoln - 24/01/2010

West Indies already one down, Sarmad the wicket taker.

Good catch by Waqa considering he isn't a specialist wicket keeper.

Second wicket for Sarmad, Campbell drags the ball onto the wicket.

West Indies 7/2 after 4 overs.

Opening bowlers have bowled well so far.

Junior Qadir is bowling right now. Will be interesting to see what dad has taught him.

186/6 after 46

213 to win

212/8 off 50 overs

Shahzad edges the ball too slip.

Pakistan 1/1 after the first over.

It looks like a nightmare for The batsman so far

Good running

Both West Indian opening bowlers Bolen and Holder have been pretty good with the new ball, the pressure is on the Pakistani batsmen.

They got good height as well, i hope we can survive, as i was typing

Another wicket has gone and it's the talented Babar who miscues a pull/hook shot.

Pakistan 9/2 (5.0)

Lovely cover drive from the captain, he needs to lead from the front now.

22/2 after 8

187 req off 40 overs

I think we should replace our senior team with this bunch of teenagers.

Congratz boys. We're really proud of you.

It was Babar Azam who was hyped the most but its the other Azam who has emerged as a hero. What a prospect he is. Brilliant innings.

I saw a little bit of the Azam-Waqas partnership and I was particularly impressed with the running between the wickets. It was like watching a professional Aussie side: Safe shots for 2, ball after ball. And our bowlers only conceded 2 wides and no NoBalls in 50 overs. What discipline. The senior team should indeed learn from them.

Captain Azeem Ghumman has a brilliant first class record but unfortunately he's not in the best of form in NZ. I hope he lifts the title and score a big one in the final. I'm looking forward to this final more than that Pak vs Aus ODI.

For me the run out of Rameez Aziz was the the turning point of Pakistan's innings, he scored 30 odd runs for 80 balls. If he was out there any longer he could have easily lost the game for us, he really looked out of touch with the bat. Hammad played an outstanding innings with the support of Waqas, the gamble once again paid off playing a makeshift wicket keeper.

Usman Qadir bowled well, hopefully he has a good future ahead of him.
