Highlights of Australia vs. Pakistan in the U19 World Cup 2024 semifinal: AUS advances to the 6 final, but Ali Raza’s masterclass is in vain
Australia vs Pakistan highlights U19 World Cup 2024, AUS vs PAK: Staging a comeback for Pakistan in the low-scoring contest, 15-year-old Ali Raza bowled a double-wicket maiden to turn the tie on its head. However, Raza’s death-over heroics went in vain as Raf MacMilllan hit the winning runs in the 50th over to seal Australia’s one-wicket win over Pakistan. Australia will meet defending champions India in the final on Sunday.
Tom Straker led the Australian bowling charge with a six-wicket haul to bowl Pakistan out for 179 in 48.5 overs. Azan Awais kept Pakistan breathing with a gritty half-century, but the menacing Straker broke through to dent the opposition’s chances. At 5 down for 79, Pakistan needed a special partnership and it came from a fifty-plus stand between Awais and Arafat Minhas. That was before the partnership was broken and Pakistan went 6 down with less than 10 overs to go. All hopes were then pinned on Minhas, but after completing a half-century, the left-hander perished to drill the final nail in the coffin for Pakistan. Straker, who had picked three wickets by then, returned for his final over, wrapped up the Pakistan innings inside 50 overs with 7 balls remaining and finished with 6/24.
Earlier Callum Vidler, Straker and Raf MacMillan all struck to dismiss the top in the Pakistan line-up and have taken the bull by its horns. The Powerplay belonged to Australia as Straker took out Shamyl Hussain for 14 followed by Vidler removing Shahzaib Khan, who struggled during his 30-ball stay for four runs. Any hopes of a comeback were further dented by Straker, who picked up his second wicket in the form of the Pakistan captain Saad Baig. Spin was introduced in the form of Raf MacMillan and the off-spinner took just two overs to get himself going. Pakistan lost half their side with Beardman cleaning up Haroon Ahmad. This was after Australia won the toss and captain Hugh Weibgen had no hesitation in batting first as he informed of the three changes made to his Playing XI. His counterpart Baig wanted to bat first.
Like all the previous editions, this one has been a fascinating and one heck of a tournament. Heavyweights India, the defending champions were the outright favourites to make it to the final and they did so almost without breaking a sweat. We say almost because South Africa tested them like no other team before and at one point, seemed to be kissing their campaign goodbye before Sachin Dhas and captain Uday Saharan stitched a Mohammad Kaif-Yuvraj Singh circa 2002 kind of a partnership. But as good as India was, Australia is equally challenging when it comes to ICC finals. India and Australia are yet to register an ‘L’ against their name but have been occasionally pushed by opposition. Having said that, they are a well-rounded squad, with an impressive stock of pacers, spinners and batters.

Chennai Super Kings’ Young Superfans Show ‘Yellove’ at Chepauk
A less-than-impressive batting execution at Mama Chidambaram Arena brought about the Chennai Super Rulers experiencing their fifth loss of this Indian Chief Association (IPL) season on Wednesday. The reigning champs lost to the Punjab Lords by seven wickets before home fans.
Like each and every home round of CSK, Chepauk played was loaded with vivacious fans, cheers, and whistles reverberating from each niche and corner of the notable setting.
Among the group, there were numerous youthful allies who came to show their help for CSK. Featuring their reverence for the group and MS Dhoni, the Chennai-put-together establishment imparted a post to show respect on Instagram, where a few little fans, wearing the yellow pullover, should be visible supporting the five-time champions.
The post included a photograph of a little child who came to watch the coordinates with his folks. Another young lady was seen holding a bulletin, which had a solicitation for Dhoni.
“Large MSD fan. Kindly come and bat for somewhere around 5 overs. I love you, Thala,” read the message. The youthful fan’s desire was satisfied when Dhoni came to bat following the excusal of CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad. The wicket at Chepauk looked a little precarious in the principal innings, with the CSK hitters battling.
Dhoni, notwithstanding, pummeled a six and a four during his eleven-ball stay. While endeavoring to take two sudden spikes in demand for the last ball, he was abandoned by 14.
This was whenever Dhoni first lost his wicket in the continuous IPL, subsequent to completing seven innings unbeaten.
Gaikwad was the top-performing hitter for CSK. At the point when different hitters were battling against the PBKS spinners, the capable opener stood his ground.

Analyzing MS Dhoni’s peculiar inning vs PBKS
Analyzing MS Dhoni’s peculiar inning vs. PBKS
MS Dhoni holds a copyright over making late passages checkable. The Mumbai Indians were given a lesson in that when Dhoni smacked three sixes in a four-ball 20. Following coordination, the Lucknow Super Monsters conceded 28 off nine. A 16-ball 37* against the Delhi Capitals ought to have in a perfect world topped both of these endeavors, but Dhoni likely held up as well long to kickstart that attack as CSK eventually misplaced by 20 runs.
Wednesday’s innings were peculiar, though. Dhoni wasn’t saddled with a chase. The pitch wasn’t simple either. But with CSK’s innings apparently forming a sub-par conclusion, Dhoni turned down an opportunity to run two. A miscued cut provoked Daryl Mitchell to rabbit nearly to the other conclusion of the pitch when Dhoni asked him to go back. Possibly Dhoni wasn’t fit enough to run two, or maybe he felt he seemed to change over the remaining three balls superior to Mitchell. Either way, that call couldn’t be defended, as Dhoni finished up hitting as if it were one-six.
But that’s not the bizarre thing around Dhoni’s innings. Not being able to put absent Rahul Chahar’s leg breaks in the prior over had a domino impact on CSK’s innings—Moeen Ali getting bowled off the fourth ball provoking an unusual entry of play that made Dhoni see woefully out-of-touch as he has seldom been before. Chahar’s line was the key here, making Dhoni reach out each time he bowled to him. Being an intensely bottom-handed hitter, Dhoni has never very aced the craftsmanship of acing the off-side. So, by channeling the wide exterior off the stump, Chahar guaranteed that Dhoni didn’t get sufficient bat beneath the ball. “I didn’t need to bowl it more full to him; he hits it well if you thrust it fuller,” said Chahar after CSK’s innings ended. ‘

That Arshdeep Singh was given a comparable brief in the 20th over was apparent in the way he focused on the wide exterior of Dhoni’s circular segment. As it were, one moo full hurl clobbered for a boundary out of the four balls, to begin with, is sufficient for any final over, particularly against Dhoni. Sixteen runs off the final two overs, hence, was an uncommon day of victory against CSK despite Dhoni taking the bulk of the strike. In an insight into the past, CSK’s batting rearrangements may not have given Dhoni any support, what with Mitchell being downgraded to No. 8 from No. 3. Supplanting Ajinkya Rahane with Sameer Rizvi as the Affect Player as well, he seemed to score as it were 21 off 23 balls.
