With a place in the final of the Under-19 World Cup up for grabs against India U-19s, Australia U-19s will come into this semi-final looking to protect their unbeaten record. Their last game ended as a no result against West Indies U-19s but they had hit 227/8 and had the opposition at 24/2 inside five overs.
It has been an up and down tournament with the bat for Sam Konstas who got a duck against England U-19s in the previous game but responded with 108 against West Indies U-19s. Strong batting has been a feature for Australia U-19s throughout this tournament and they will bat deep again in this game.
Although it is Callum Vider who has been the main threat for Australia U-19s during this tournament, it was his fellow opening bowler Charlie Anderson who took both wickets against West Indies U-19s. The attack will bowl with pace and will also get assistance from the pitch in this game.
Australia U-19s are unbeaten in the tournament with four wins and one no-result from their five games.

It was another victory for Pakistan U-19s against Bangladesh U-19s on Saturday, it is fair to say that they have not been as dominant in their last two games and have won by only 3 wickets and 5 runs. This is sure to be a tough clash with the prize of a final up for grabs.
Only two of Pakistan U-19s batters hit a six in the win over Bangladesh U-19s and this will be an area the team management will want to improve on in this game. 18 year old left-hander Shahzaib Khan has enjoyed a strong tournament at the top of the order and he will be a key player in this fixture.
After the batters had made only 155 in Benoni on Saturday, Pakistan U-19s needed their bowlers to save the day and that is exactly what they did. Ubaid Shah (5/44) and Ali Raza (3/44) were the standout performers and they will need to be at their best again to give their team the best opportunity in this semi-final.
Like their opponents, Pakistan U-19s are unbeaten and they bring a 100% record of five wins from five into this game.

As it should be at this stage of a tournament, we have two very strong teams who have played excellent cricket in the competition going head to head. Australia U-19s have been very consistent and, although Pakistan U-19s have been getting wins, they have been far from convincing in their last two matches. We are backing Australia U-19s to emerge with the victory in this semi-final.
