India beat Pakistan in U19 WC in a low scoring thrilling match.
India managed to restrict Pakistan to a low total of 136, with the superb bowling performance from the bowlers.
Indian bowlers were so good picking early wickets.
Pak tail fought very well and took the score to 136.
Indian top order also failed as that of Pak, but Indian middle order showed some resistance.
After that Indian wickets start falling, but the last pair fought well and won the match for India by 1 wicket with 2 overs left.
Even though it was a low scoring match, the India-Pak thrill was still there.
Both team really played well.
Australia will play South Africa on 1st semi on 23rd, the 2nd semi is on 23
India will Play New Zealand who beat West Indies in the last ball of the match.

It was a typical Indian-Pakistan match. That was the main reason why I was watching the entire match. I hope Indian players will win the semifinal and final match take the cup to India. All the very best for the players

I just saw the scores and looks like it was quite an humdinger between the two teams. When India lost their 3 wickets within two overs they had another 10 runs to get of 9 overs. They took most of those nine overs, but managed to get over for the 10 runs. The two youngsters kept their cool and won the match for India. That sets up a match with New Zealand who themselves won an humdinger needing a boundary of the last ball to win!!
Looks like the U-19 world cup is much more exciting than the senior World Cup!!
Cheers!

yes it was a thrilling encounter. i think both team have good bowling attack.
And the match is in Australia, so pitch support speed bowling.
I think Indian's boys are also using this condition.
But as the seniors, young team also allowed Pak to score 130+ after picking 98-8..
anyway, its good that India chased the target. Pak bowling was also good. The tail end played according to the situation to win the match.
now we are into the semi, hope that India will beat and reach final.but Probably Australia will come in Final and they have home support also. If we reach the final then it would be really nice one to watch..
