Cricket commentary | Pakistan U19 vs England U19, 4th Match, Group B, ICC Under 19 World Cup 2026

17:27 Local Time, 15:27 GMT, 20:57 IST: England have comfortably defended their total of 210 on a pitch that was very challenging for the batters. The variable bounce never allowed them to feel set and you can see that from how regularly wickets fell. What England’s bowlers did well was to hit the pitch hard, starting with Alex Green who got rid of both the openers. He had good support from James Minto and the spinners chipped in as well. At one stage with Pakistan on 85/6, it seemed like the game will get over in a hurry. But captain Farhan Yousaf single-handedly kept them in the hunt with a superb fifty. Wasn’t enough in the end.
