End of over 50 (6 runs) - Pakistan U19(158-9) RR 3.16

I'd expect Pakistan to win from here given our recent batting performances.

End of over 23 (4 runs) - USA U19(91-5). 68 runs required from 27 overs. RR 3.96 RRR 2.52

Yep, hopeless. A run out in those conditions and match state was criminal. Maybe I'm too aggressive with the orders?

Bowlers should have kept them under 130 though, so it's been a team effort to throw a Division 1 title away

I'd go very defensive on a crumbler but I have virtually no confidence in my (senior) batsmen and even going defensive doesn't seem to work.

Great stuff from Burgess and Hull to get over the line. About time Burgess did something with the bat.

Looks like a title decider tomorrow.

Burgess and Hull really frustrated us, and our bowlers let us down after drinks

H. Silva (rm) 8.3-1-45-2, C. Mac Anyang 40 (51b)
End of over 47 (1 run) - Kenya U19(183-10) RR 3.89

Should have been so much better. But I think if someone had offered us 184 runs to chase before we started we'd have taken it. I can see it being a close game though. Time for our batsmen to perform.

[spark]

Yes, very lucky to get that many.

I don't think you will have too many problems chasing this with our bowling attack.

D. Karim (rm) 4-1-9-2, A. Kerr 5 (11b), R. Warner 8 (19b)
End of over 14 (4 runs) - USA U19(44-3). 140 runs required from 36 overs. RR 3.14 RRR 3.89

I think you'll win it from here. We need a big partnership between these two.

Rescued again by the players lower down the order. Silva with a brilliant 50 turned the game back in our favour and the dogged 39 from Salinas was also crucial.


Congratulations on the title, guys.

U19s got a good win against India thanks to a very nice bowling performance. Already done much better than the seniors did last week; they were terrible.

From 6th to 2nd in one day. We'll need to be at our best to oust Sri Lanka tomorrow.

I'm crossing my fingers that my players can contribute to the cause for a change. I suppose Kirk was technically the 3rd highest USA scorer in the 1st game.
