Pakistan Vs England: Pakistan has suffered a huge setback in the Under-19 World Cup. Pakistani team lost its first match. England scored only 210 runs in the match played in Harare and the Pakistani team could not even achieve such a small target. Pakistan team collapsed for 173 runs and suffered a crushing defeat by 37 runs. The reason for Pakistan’s defeat was its batsmen, who surrendered to the bowlers of England. Especially the top order batsmen disappointed a lot. Sameer Minhas, Mohammad Shayan, Usman Khan, Ahmed Hussain, no one bothered to stay on the wicket.

Pakistan’s top order failed

Pakistan’s best batsman Sameer Minhas was out in the fourth over itself. The explosive right-handed batsman could score only 10 runs. Mohammad Shayan scored 7 runs. Usman Khan contributed 6 runs. Ahmed Hussain scored 12 runs. Captain Farhan Yusuf played an excellent inning of 65 runs but his half-century innings went in vain in the end. England’s fast bowlers Alex Green, James Minto, Ralphie Albert took 2-2 wickets.

Caleb Falconer, the hero of England’s victory

England’s batting was also struggling on the Harare pitch but Caleb Falconer, who came to bat at number five, faced the Pakistani bowlers bravely. This player scored a quick 66 runs in 73 balls. 3 fours and 2 sixes came from his bat. Apart from him, opener Ben Dawkins played an inning of 33 runs.

Pakistan will have to win both the matches
