Batsman	R	B	4s	6s	SR
Nihar Parmar	33	67	2	1	49.25
run out (Nitesh Samuel / Will Malajczuk) 17.5 OUT! PARMAR IS RUN OUT! A huge mix-up, and this is exactly what Japan did not need at this time. Full, on leg, Nihar Parmar flicks it to short fine leg. He doesn't want to take the run but Hugo Tani-Kelly calls for one. Nitesh Samuel picks the ball but doesn't make a good throw at the bowler's end. Will Malajczuk leaps and collects the ball and whips the bails off. Nihar Parmar is well short. He is not happy at all, but makes his way back into the shed. A well-made 33 off 67, and Japan Under-19 are 61/2 now. 61/2 76.12% DotBall 23.88% Scoring Shots 22 Ball per Boundary
Nikhil Pol		1	0	0	0
b William Byrom 1.1 OUT! BOWLED'EM! William Byrom has announced himself in this World Cup. His first ball in the tournament is an absolute beauty. This is on a good length and on off, the seam hits the deck and nips back in sharply. Nikhil Pol gets half-forward to defend but plays down the wrong line as the ball sneaks past the inside edge and rattles the stumps behind. Back-to-back ducks for Pol as he walks back in disappointment. Japan Under-19 are 3/1. 3/1 100% DotBall 0% Scoring Shots - Ball per Boundary
Hugo Tani-Kelly	79	135	6	0	58.51
not out 57.04% DotBall 42.96% Scoring Shots 22 Ball per Boundary
Charles Hara-Hinze	24	22	2	1	109.09
lbw b Naden Cooray 25 OUT! LBW! Naden Cooray strikes with a lovely delivery. Quicker, on middle, Charles Hara-Hinze leans on and looks to block it but misses as the ball turns past the inside edge and hits his front pad. A loud appeal and the finger goes up straightaway. Charles is not happy with the decision but he can't do anything about it as we don't have DRS in this World Cup. He played some eye-catching shots in his short knock of 24 off 22 but fails to convert his start. 105/3 50% DotBall 50% Scoring Shots 7 Ball per Boundary
Kazuma Kato-Stafford C		2	0	0	0
c Jayden Draper b Kasey Barton 25.3 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Kasey Barton strikes now. What a delivery. Back of a length, on off, Kazuma Kato-Stafford is caught by surprise by the extra bounce as he looks to block it. Tries to get out of the way but he is too late. It takes the outside edge and the ball carries towards Jayden Draper, who makes no mistake. Japan Under-19 have slipped from 105/2 to 107/4. 107/4 100% DotBall 0% Scoring Shots - Ball per Boundary
Kaisei Kobayashi-Doggett	1	8	0	0	12.50
lbw b Naden Cooray 28.3 OUT! LBW! Naden Cooray gets his second now. Flatter, on middle, Kaisei Kobayashi-Doggett hangs back and looks to flick it but misses due to the inward spin and wears it on his pads. A loud appeal and the finger goes up this time. Wickets have started to fall now for Japan Under-19. 112/5 87.5% DotBall 12.5% Scoring Shots - Ball per Boundary
Taylor Waugh	1	9	0	0	11.11
lbw b Naden Cooray 30.3 OUT! LBW! Naden Cooray is running through the Japanese middle order like it's nothing. A quicker one, full and on middle, Taylor Waugh plants his front foot to flick it away but misses, and the ball hits his toe on the full. A loud appeal and the finger goes up straightaway. Easy decision. Japan Under-19 are 118/6 now. 118/6 88.89% DotBall 11.11% Scoring Shots - Ball per Boundary
Montgomery Hara-Hinze	29	51	0	0	56.86
b William Byrom 47.3 OUT! CASTLED! William Byrom gets his second now. He bowls this on a good length and on middle, angles in with pace. Montgomery Hara-Hinze makes room to cut it away but gets late on his shot as the ball goes through and shatters the leg stump out of the ground. Montgomery walks back for 29 off 51, and the 72-run stand has been broken now. 190/7 54.9% DotBall 45.1% Scoring Shots - Ball per Boundary
Gabriel Hara-Hinze		3	0	0	0
c & b Aryan Sharma 48.3 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! A soft dismissal, and Aryan Sharma gets his first wicket. This is slower through the air, shortish and on middle. Gabriel Hara-Hinze stays back to clip it across the line but closes his bat face early. It takes the leading edge and lobs out towards the bowler, where Sharma moves to his left and dives to take a good catch. Japan Under-19 are 194/8 now. 193/8 100% DotBall 0% Scoring Shots - Ball per Boundary

c Gabriel Hara-Hinze b Nihar Parmar 15.3 OUT! IN THE AIR....GONE! Nihar Parmar dangles the carrot here and gets the reward. The massive 135-run opening stand has been broken now, but it won't have an effect on the result of this game. This is flighted, full and on middle. Will Malajczuk decides to take it on and goes for the slog, but fails to get under it. He does not get the elevation and it flies straight towards long on, where Gabriel Hara-Hinze comes forward and takes a good catch. Some respite for Japan Under-19. Malajczuk departs after an outstanding knock of 102 off 55, to a big applause from the Aussie fans and family at the ground. 135/1 36.36% DotBall 63.64% Scoring Shots 3 Ball per Boundary

c Skyler Nakayama-Cook b Charles Hara-Hinze 21 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Charles Hara-Hinze gets a wicket. Not a wicket taking delivery but Japan Under-19 will take it. Short and wide, Steven Hogan looks to have a waft at it but misses. Gets a faint edge and Skyler Nakayama-Cook behind the stumps takes a good catch. 160/2 50% DotBall 50% Scoring Shots 20 Ball per Boundary
