AUS-U19 vs PAK-U19 Live Cricket Score

8.2 OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Tom Straker draws first blood in his second over and Australia Under-19 had to wait for that wicket. Straker serves it on a short length and around middle.

The ball flies off high in the air and Ollie Peake settles under it and pouches it near the square leg region. 25/1

9.5 OUT! TAKEN! ABSOLUTE STUNNER! Callum Vidler gets his first and ends the struggle of Shahzaib Khan. Bowls it full and outside off. Shahzaib Khan fetches it from outside off, hoping to find the gap. However, the ball flies off towards Hugh Weibgen, the skipper, at backward point and he dives to his right and takes a brilliant catch. Vidler signaled after the last ball that he was going to bowl a bumper but he bluffed Shahzaib who has to depart after a sluggish inning. 27/2

40.2 OUT! TAKEN! Tom Straker is on fire here! A big wicket for Australia Under-19 and at a very crucial stage. Tom Straker delivers it on a hard length and drifting away outside off. Azan Awais tries to fetch it but with no foot movement. The ball nicks the upper edge and carries away to the keeper, Ryan Hicks who pouches it safely to his left. They get their man and now Australia Under-19 are back on the strong foot. 133/6

14.2 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! This time Harry Dixon makes no mistake and the Pakistan Under-19 skipper has to depart for a low score. Tom Straker bowls it on a nagging length in the channel and just gets this one to nip away a touch. Saad Baig has been tentative with his feet movement all throughout this inning and doesn't quite get on the front foot and just has a poke at it. The ball catches the outside edge and goes straight into the bread-basket of Dixon at first slip and he gobbles it up. Straker bowling a fabulous spell here and Pakistan Under-19 are three down already. 43/3

18.3 OUT! LBW! Smart bowling from Rafael Macmillan and Pakistan Under-19 lose their fourth wicket. Changes the length by going really full and spears one in on the off stump line. Ahmad Hassan is very deep in his crease expecting a short one but decides to bring out the hard sweep. Hassan is beating all ends up and gets hit in front of the stumps on the back leg. A loud appeal and up goes the finger. 53/4

28 OUT! BOWLED'EM! The front-line pacer is brought back on and Mahli Beardman delivers right away. Nagging length close to the off stump, the ball nips back in off the deck and stays low. Haroon Arshad is pinged back in the crease to a ball that he should have been well forward to and pays the price. The ball skids through the defence and knocks the off stump out of the ground. Beardman is buzzing with that wicket. 79/5

44.5 OUT! TAKEN! FIFTY AND GONE! Australia Under-19 have another big wicket! Tom Campbell goes full and flat on off. Arafat Minhas plays a poor shot, hoping to exploit the gap wide of deep cover. He ends up lofting it in the air and Ollie Peake runs in and takes a fantastic catch to dismiss the dangerous batter. 164/7

46.4 OUT! TAKEN! Tom Straker HAS THE LAST LAUGH! Serves it on a good length and around off. Ubaid Shah fails to get underneath it and lofts it straight up in the air. The ball lands in the hands of Harry Dixon at mid on and that brings the end to Ubaid Shah's innings. Tom Straker gets his fourth. 173/8

48.4 OUT! TIMBER! Tom Straker brings out the yorker and the leg stump goes cartwheeling out of the ground. Straker mixes up the length well and goes full now, angling it in from middle. Mohammad Zeeshan is on the back foot expecting a short one and ends up playing all around a straight and full one. The ball castles into the leg stump and Straker has a five-wicket haul in the semi-final, brilliant stuff. 179/9

48.5 OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! Tom Straker ends with a six-fer, the best bowling effort in a semi-final or final of the Under-19 World Cup ever (6 for 24 runs). Bowls it quick and a bit full on middle, angling it in. Ali Raza stays leg side and backs away a bit to play it square on the off side but is beaten for raw pacer. The ball smahses into the leg stump again and yet again, the stump is uprooted as Pakistan Under-19 are bundled out for 179 runs. 179/10

26.3 OUT! CASTLED! THAT IS A BIG ONE! Arafat Minhas tosses it up and turns in on off. Harry Dixon gets in a double mind and rocks back at the last moment. The ball turns and crashes into the off stump sending Dixon walking back to the dugout. He goes after a gritty half-century but would have liked to stay and get his side over the line here. Now, Australia Under-19 are again under pressure with their set batter gone. 102/5

10.1 OUT! BOWLED'EM! Ali Raza draws first blood with a peach! Pakistan Under-19 needed to break this partnership and they get rid of the in-form Sam Konstas now. This is on a good length and around off, jags back in viciously, Sam Konstas tries to play at it, but is a bit late and gets beaten by the inward movement as the ball goes through the big gap between bat and pad to shatter the stumps. 33/1

13.5 OUT! TAKEN! Naveed Khan strikes now! He cannot believe it as this is not a wicket-taking ball at all, but the Aussie skipper has to walk back now. This is a loopy full toss around off, Hugh Weibgen eyes lit up and he goes to smash it through covers, but tries to hit it very hard and loses his shape a bit. As a result, the ball goes aerially and wide of short covers where Haroon Arshad dives to his right to take a fine catch. Pakistan Under-19 back in the game now! 43/2

16 OUT! RUN OUT! A huge mix-up in the middle and Australia Under-19 lose their third wicket now. Naveed Khan gives this one some air again, full and on off, Harry Dixon drives it wide of short covers and sets off for the run, Harjas Singh on the other end is ball-watching and does not see his partner at all, Arafat Minhas does well to run to his left and stop the ball, he fumbles but recovers well and throws it to the keeper's end where Saad Baig does the rest, Harjas Singh decides to sacrifice himself moving out of his crease, but he is miles out here. The Men in Green are getting a bit of grip now! 54/3

16.3 OUT! DRAGGED ON! Ubaid Shah strikes now! Ryan Hicks goes back for a golden duck and the Aussies are in deep trouble now. Shah lands this short of a length and around off, Ryan Hicks stays in his crease and hops up to guide it away, but his feet does not go towards the ball and he only manages to get an inside edge back onto the stumps. Australia Under-19 four down now! 59/4

41.5 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! A big, big call from the umpire, and Ollie Peake cannot believe it at all. Ali Raza pitches this one up well down the leg side, Ollie Peake tries to glance it away, and it looks like the ball goes past very close from his bat and there is a bit of a noise, Saad Baig moves to his right and grabs and appeals again, this time the finger goes up. Peake just stands there in disbelief but will have to walk back one short of his fifty. Australia Under-19 still needs 25 runs to win with three wickets in hand! 155/7

38.4 OUT! TIMBER! Arafat Minhas gets another one and in a similar fashion! He serves it a bit short and slides in sharply. Tom Campbell gets on the back foot and misreads the ball. He picked the wrong line and the ball took the bails off the off pole. Tom Campbell has to depart, and that means that Australia Under-19 will have to play a bit more carefully from now. 146/6

45.3 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! A superstar in the making and the 15-year-old Ali Raza gets his third wicket in his final over. Raza hits the deck hard and bowls it outside the off stump, getting it to shoot off the deck. Tom Straker looks to cut but the ball jags back in a bit and catches the outside edge. The keeper, Saad Baig takes a sharp catch to his right and Australia Under-19 have now lost their eighth wicket. Still 16 needed off 27 balls. 164/8

46 OUT! TIMBER! Would you believe it? What a dramatic final over from Ali Raza and even on his very final delivery, he picks up another wicket and Pakistan Under-19 will now feel that the game is in their bag. Raza steams in and pitches it up on off stump, Mahli Beardman goes back and looks to get his bat behind the ball but is very tentative and the ball zips past the outside edge to knock over the top of off stump. Pakistan Under-19 are one wicket away from victory as Raza ends his spell with a four-fer. 164/9
