Toss Pakistan Under-19 chose to bowl vs India Under-19<\/p>\n

Pakistan<\/a> won a crucial toss in Bulawayo as they looked to beat India<\/a> by a significant margin in order to make the semi-finals of the Under-19 World Cup<\/a>. Pakistan, with four points in their bag, were two behind the undefeated India.<\/p>\n

A win or tie is enough for India to go through, but Pakistan also need to overcome the difference in net run-rate: 1.484 to 3.337. The exact requirements will be updated once India have batted, but just an indicator: Pakistan need to chase a target of 251 in about 33.2 overs to make the semi-final.<\/p>\n

The sides made one change each. Pakistan replaced middle-order batter Mohammad Shayan with left-hand batter and offspinner Ali Hassan Baloch<\/a>. India switched from the left-arm pace of Udhav Mohan to the right-arm pace of D Deepesh<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is Pakistan’s first match in Bulawayo, where India have played all their matches.<\/p>\n

This is also a grudge match for India after they were beaten by 191 runs<\/a> in the final of the Under-19 Asia Cup just over a month ago.<\/p>\n
