Potchefstroom, Feb 3: India Under-19 side will take on arch-rivals Pakistan in the Super League Semi-Final 1 of the ongoing ICC Under-19 World Cup 2020 on Tuesday (February 4) at the Senwes Park in Potchefstroom.
Four-time World Champions, Team India, have made it to the U-19 World Cup finals on six occasions while Pakistan was crowned the champions twice, but played the finals on five occasions.
How India made it to the semis?
Led by Priyam Garg, India finished at the top of the group A points table with three wins from as many matches. The Boys in Blue had 8 points and a brilliant net run rate of +3.598.
India, who are also the defending champions, defeated Australia in the quarter-finals to make it to the semis, while Pakistan colts edged neighbours Afghanistan to make it to the top-four.
How Pakistan made it to the semis?
Pakistan, on the other hand, finished at the second spot in Group C with two wins from three games. One of their matches got washed out due to rain as they ended the group stage with five points and a net run rate of + 2.706.
Top performers for India
Teenage sensation, Yashasvi Jaiswal is India's top run-scorer with 207 runs from 4 innings. The Mumbai-batsman has struck three fifties and scored at a decent strike rate of 82.47.
Ravi Bishnoi is the fourth-highest wicket-taker in the group stage with 11 wickets from four games with best figures of 4/5 against Japan. Kartik Tyagi and Akash Singh have also done well in the bowling department.
Top performers for Pakistan
As for Pakistan, Mohammad Haris has been the top scorer with 110 runs from just two innings. Abbas Afridi and Mohammad Amir Khan have performed well with the ball with 9 and 7 wickets respectively.
How will the pitch behave?
The pitch at Senwes Park has aided the team batting first as the side batting first in three out of four games have crossed the 230-run mark. However, chasing the target has been difficult here. Hence, both the teams would be looking to bat first after winning the toss and test the opposition after setting a decent total on the board.
