Pakistan Under-19s kicked off their tour of South Africa with consecutive wins in the 7-match Youth ODI series against the hosts. In the first ODI in Durban, they were restricted to 226/9 by the South Africa Under-19s. However, they came back well to keep Saffers down to only 209/9. The South Africans were 129/3 after 37 overs but could only make 80 further runs despite having wickets in hand.

The second ODI witnessed the visiting team’s domination a collectively bowling effort from them saw South Africa U19 making only 215. Opener Andrew Louw put on a lone fight scoring 91 which wasn’t enough. Pakistan were three down for 18 runs on a track that did a bit with the new ball. However, fifties from skipper Rohail Nazir and Mohammad Haris saw the team chase down with four wickets and 61 balls to spare.

Power Picks:

The 16-year-old young pacer Naseem Shah has made the ball tak in the series with five wickets to his name in two matches. He first came to limelight last year with a 6-wicket haul in only his 2nd first-class match during the Quad-e-Azam Trophy. Naseem recorded figures of 6/59 at the age of 15 years and 238 days. He thus became the 3rd youngest pacer in first-class history to bag a 5-fer.

Expert Advice:

The top-order of South Africa U19 struggled against the Pakistan U19 pacers in the first two games. The same might repeat so picking as few batsmen as possible from the hosts will make sense.

Probable Winners:

Pakistan U19 are expected to go 3-0 up unless the hosts produce some extraordinary performance with the bat.
