The Under-19 World Cup group stage matches have concluded. The quarter-final teams have also been determined. Both the Indian and Pakistani teams (India vs Pakistan) made it to the last eight. In such a case, everyone's attention is focused on when the two will collide. India and Pakistan both won their three group matches. Both have performed admirably in such circumstances.
On January 28, Pakistan will face Australia in the quarter-finals, while India will face Bangladesh on January 29. Sri Lanka will play Afghanistan on January 27, while England and South Africa will meet on January 26.
India has four Under-19 World Cup titles. In such a case, the team is regarded as a contender this time as well. If India wins the quarter-final match, the team will face the winner of the match between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan in the semi-finals. That is, India and Pakistan will not face each other in the semi-finals. If both teams win their respective quarter-final and semi-final matches, they will have a face-off in the final. Now, everyone hopes that both teams make it to the championship game. The final will take place on February 5.
This is the 14th season of the Under-19 World Cup, according to the tournament's history. India has won the championship four times, while Pakistan has won it twice. India and Pakistan previously met in the Under-19 World Cup final in 2006. Pakistan won this match with a score of 38 runs. Pakistan had scored 109 runs when they batted first. In response, the Indian was held to 71 runs. So far, the two have met ten times in the Under-19 World Cup and both have 5-5 victories.
On Saturday, Raj Bawa registered two records in his name. At the same time, he has become India's leading run-scorer in the Under-19 World Cup. Shikhar Dhawan's record was broken by this left-handed batsman. Dhawan scored 155 runs against Scotland in the Under 19 World Cup in 2004.
Aside from that, Bawa holds the record for the longest unbeaten innings in Under-19 World Cup history. Previously, South Africa's Jack Rudolph and Australia's Cameron White held the record.
