Last time around in the semis, Gill stood up and showed his class. This time around I think it could be Jaiswal or Priyam.

Shaw was racing away before getting run out. It is all moot given that India blew them away with our bowling.

@First class I hope you show the same disgust for Amir or savior Sharjeel Khan or few of the other exploits of your players. Mankading is not even a patch on some of that.

Absolutely, Amir and Sharjeel's  crime was even bigger. I agree, Mankading is at least within the laws of cricket but against the spirit of the game should be condemned.

How are our chances guys? For some reason i don't trust these guys. They were reckless in some of the matches.

Bowling is quite good especially Tyagi and Bishnoi but my worry is the batting. Last time we were bailed out by Bishnoi and Ankolekar but that's not going to happen every  time.

Chill, taking unfair advantage of the spirit of cricket and taking a huge start at non-striker is also violation of the "spirit of the game".

Very well put. It is surprising how this objective fact gets shrouded in some sort of high strung moral subjectivity each time this happens. Experts and viewers have this tendency of condemning Mankading vociferously while going extremely soft on non strikers stepping out of the crease early.

In the U19 Asia Cup match against Pakistan last year Tilak Varma and Arjun Azad got centuries and we won by 60 runs. Pakistan had Naseem Shah in their attack. Both sides will be fielding stronger teams than that match and I predict a good contest. I'd still rate Ind as slight favourites.

India generally does well when they have a mentally strong captain. This Priyank Garg hardly made any runs this time. just a 50 i guess.

india / Pakistan it’s going to be then..

i would say pakistan have a slight edge with their batting & bowling is always that good.. india’s bowling was out under pressure by new zealand & some wreck less batting by NZ bought india back, i have a feeling these Pakistani batsmen are more mature & would not do the mistakes like NZ & hence makes them more dangerous.

don’t want to touch the controversial topic but the built & overall personality of Pak players gives me a edgy feeling some of them being slightly above 19!! just my feeling though as they were all looking way too mature than usually you expect the kids to look.

nevertheless a solid match up & hoping for a good game in the semis & hopefully the rain doesn’t play a spoilsport..

typically the ground has lot of bounce & would not be easy batting there against pakistan bowling..

Shaw had hardly done anything last time.

well those are my views, BS to you or not, don’t care!

from cricket’s POV this hurraira kid looks good better than the rest, they revealed he is in shoaib malik’s relation! don’t want this to be revealed though..

the key to Ind vs Pak match IMO is Ind batting vs Pak bowling. and I expect jaiswal to score a solid 50-esque score, but the real crucial batters are our middle order duo of Tilak and Garg. Both have a lot of talent, but have failed to deliver in previous game.
