Defending champions India will take on arch-rivals Pakistan
in the semi-final of ICC Under-19 World Cup at Senwes Park, Potchefstroom on
Tuesday. India booked their spot in tournament’s last four after defeating last
edition’s runners-up Australia by 74 runs, while Pakistan thrashed Asian rivals
Afghanistan by six wickets to set up a face-off with the defending champions.
After India’s batsmen failed with the bat in the
quarter-final, the bowlers rose to the challenge and threatened the Australian
batsmen with their pace and bounce. India would hope a repeat of performance
from their fast bowlers as well the spinners and pile up pressure on Pakistan’s
batting-order.
The India vs Pakistan ICC Under-19 World Cup semi-final
match will be played on February 4, Tuesday. It will be played at the Senwes
Park, Potchefstroom. The match will begin at 01:30 PM IST.
