In the ongoing ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup, Pakistan and Australia are set to compete in the second semi-final at Willowmoore Park, Benoni. Both teams have yet to face defeat.
Pakistan, led by Saad Baig, earned their semi-final berth by finishing second in Super Six Group 1. In contrast, Australia, under Hugh Weibgen’s leadership, advanced to the knockout stage as Group 2 winners.
Pakistan, also known as the Green Shirts, have shown remarkable consistency and dominance in their group-stage matches against Afghanistan, Nepal, and New Zealand. Their winning streak continued against Ireland and Bangladesh, although Bangladesh did give them a run for their money in their most recent match.
Australia, on the other hand, topped their group with successive wins over Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, and Namibia. The ‘Men in Yellow’ then secured their semi-final spot by defeating England by 110 runs in the Super Six stage and drawing against West Indies.
