India U19 Team News & Playing 11
The team's batting is going to rely mainly on skipper Prithvi Shaw and Shubman Gill who has been the most consistent batsman with three fifties in three innings. Gill scored 86 in the quarter-final against Bangladesh and India U19 will be hoping that he continues his good form against Pakistan U19. Kamlesh Nagarkoti and Shivam Mavi are the main threats in this pace attack while Anukul Roy (11 wickets in 4 matches) is their best spin option. Nagarkoti notched up three wickets last time and he will be backed by his team to strike early in this match.

Pakistan U19 Team News & Playing 11
Ali Zaryab Asif played a valuable knock of 74* to take his team home in the quarter-final game against South Africa U19. The top-order batsman has so far scored the most runs for Pakistan U19 this World Cup and he therefore will be the key man in this line-up. Muhammad Musa and Shaheen Shah Afridi took five wickets between themselves to restrict the Proteas to a meagre 189. Afridi (11 wickets in 4 matches) is amongst the leading wicket-takers of the tournament and the seamer could pose a stiff challenge to the Indian U19 batsmen.

India U19 vs Pakistan U19 Semi-Final Prediction
India hold a slight edge over Pakistan as they have won 12 out of the 21 U19 ODIs between the two sides. However, the latter have the psychological advantage of having beaten the former five times out of eight in U19 World Cups. India though are going into this game unbeaten with wins in all four matches they have played so far in this tournament. Momentum therefore will be on their side and so we predict them to win this match and set up a final clash with Australia.
Final Verdict: Back India U19 to beat Pakistan U19 at 1.31 on 1xbet, 1.32 on Unibet, 1.29 on 10Cric and 1.30 on betway.
