2.10pm That was a manic sequence of events to close out play. Pakistan's players gather into a huddle again.They need this. They need to gather their thoughts and remind themselves to not concede an inch. They have missed way too many opportunities on the field. It may end up not costing them, but for that they need to make sure they aren't lax with the bat. Because this won't be an easy total to chase. And Pakistan have never had to chase down more than 200 because of how brilliant their bowling has been all tournament. This will be the sternest test for their batting order yet. Top innings from Gill. What a tournament he's having! That average just keeps swelling and smashing roofs. Gets the first century by an Indian this tournament and does it on the big semifinal. Can the bowlers back him up? Be back shortly to find out.
Gopi: "The last over looks like a scene from Shakespeare's 'Comedy of Errors'. But then, these are Under-19 kids we are talking about, we can't be so harsh." It's still top-flight cricket, surely they've been taught basics like backing up a throw?
Naveed: "After this performance in the field it will be miracle if Pakistan wins this one. How can they miss 8 run outs. As a fielding unit Pakistans U19 team is as good as the senior team"
Hamad Javed: "If I were the pakistan coach I would be grilling every single fielder on the team. Has no one taught them to back up the wicket on the bowler's end? I count at least 6 run out chances. Many many singles converted to doubles, many catches dropped....and then you expect to win a match? Soley based on their fielding, pakistan do not deserve to win. "
