The Pakistan Under-19 team will be leaving on the 19th of this month for the event.

Can they match the senior side to become champions of Asia?

It will be a Pakistan V India final

We have been a very successfull team in the U-19 Department for some time now, we have some really talented players. I won't be suprised to see our boys coming out winners here. All the best for the lads!

Which became champions by beating Bangladesh.

Looks like a good squad I must say.

Great to see Zia Ul Haq name there, hope he does well!

Sandipan Das, Sanju Samson in India U-19 Asia Cup squad

Looks a strong team...

Watch for Zia Ul-Haq

Will this tourney be on tv?

Hope it is shown somewhere! I really want to see Zia - Ul - Haq and Sami Aslam.

wow, Babar is still only 17! incredible.

Zia-ul-Haq will be the Man of the Tournament, guaranteed.

Well lots of things to look out for @chandtara bhai,

1: If we have any good upcomming potential batsmen
2: The keeper, Considering Pakistans keeping issues, will be interesting and we should keep an eye on our keeper Salman Afridi to see how he goes
3: Babar Azam, a lot has been said about this kid already, so should be interesting to see how he goes and leads the side
4: Our bowlers such as Zia Ul Haq and Usman Qadir, also lots of talk about these boys so should be real interesting to see how they go.

There has been a lot of good history for Pakistan in the U-19 world cups recently as we have had quite a bit of success, will be really interesting to see how these boys go out and perform, there is lots of potential there and im quite confident these lads will come home with the Trophy.

I may go for the Pakistan Vs India match on Sunday. The cricket ground is just 10 km away from my house.

inshallah

Lots of amazing players in the team, should be a good tournament

Looking forward to Babar Azam, Sami Aslam, and Zia-u-Haq killing it

Just noticed a Salman Afridi in the squad - this should be really interesting.

Just saw that scorecard enior

Qatar got abused! > http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/current/match/567251.html

babar azam is mashaALLAH a great great playa, would love to see him make big scores.

i've seen sami aslam play too n imho he is overrated, his technique is pretty similar to fawad alam but has a lot more power than him.

Technique itself is overrated, i hope he's not treated as Alam just bcz of technique

what?? :moyo

Yup its pleasing to the eye, but for me Win matter the most

So i have same respect for Chanderpaul

but, for me its a torture watching fawad n chanderpaul bat

Haha your choice, for Me i like Batsmen who score runs aka Umar Akmal rather then better technique aka Asad Shafiq

umar's technique is not bad in any sense, for me he's right up there with asad in technique n talent wise he's far ahead.

His technique is good but Some posters say he's just a Slogger, well to me a Slogger who's average is 38 in ODI's is really good.

Pakistan Off to a really good start again in the U-19 World cup. Faviorates to go on and win it for me, they look strong all around, Just need to work on there Fielding a little it has to be said. And a win Over India will give them a huge amount of confidence.

2games / 2wins, Good stuff, Few stand out players with the bat already which is always good.

Sami Aslam with a few big scores already, so theres one to watch.
Imam-Ul-Haq another one with some runs under his name.
Would be nice to see Babar Azam getting a few runs now also.

U19world cup?^

Asia Cup* Sorry my bad.

pak win by 1 run;)

no highlights

Poor Malaysia

Battered and bruised by Pakistan.

Pak U19 302/4 50 overs

Sami Aslam 47
Babar Azam 68
Imam-ul-Haq 50
Umar Waheed 76 (52 balls)
Mohamad Nawaz 53 (33 balls)

Malaysia 53 ao (30.3 overs)

Mohammad Nawaz 9-5-9-3
Azizzullah 6-3-6-2

Pakistan U19 win by 249 runs

Some positives....

Sami Aslam continues his good form. Nice to see Babar Azam get some runs. Good bowling by Mohammad Nawaz and Azizullah.

Negatives.....Shame that Sami, Babar and Imam all got starts and decent scores but none of them went on to get a 100. Still seems to be a bit of a two gear mentality in our batting with a lot of boundaries and not enough running between the wickets. Coaches need to work on this.

poor malaysia

Mohammad Nawaz seems like an amazing prospect.

Bats at 120+ SR and takes a lot of wickets!

so afghan vs pak first semi
nd

indi vs lanka 2nd semi
