Pakistan had a very strong batting lineup and sharp bowling attack which they showcased in the recently concluded ACC U-19 Asia Cup 2023. Pakistan domina𒁃ted the group stage fixtures and were the favourites to win the title. But the United Arab Emirates (UAE) defeated them by 11 runs in the sem𓆉i-finals to halt their winning run.
Azan Awais and captain Saad Baig have played some remarkable innings before and the same would be expected of them. Afghanistan have a genuine pace attack with most of the all-rounders in their team which makes their batting lineup deep. Young Afghans had a miser🙈able Asia Cup late last year and ๊they would be eyeing for a fresh start when they take on Pakistan in their first match of the Under-19 World Cup.
