@Bovidae said in U19 Cricket World Cup:
NZ were well beaten.
Looking at the scoreboard, none of the top order made a significant score so they only got a sub-par total. That seems to have been a constant in this WC as the wins have been due to some batting heroics from the bowlers.
Most of NZ history, sadly.

That Bangle team was really good. Looked well coached and some neat fielding placements. Looked a bit like boys playing older boys. Lots of histrionics but I guess that goes with being young and mimicking the pros. Was put off by the ridiculous appealing including an obvious, like really obvious bump ball appeal that had to go upstairs. It's funny, umpires get all sorts of criticism around technology which is, by and large, out of human control, yet authorities turn a blind eye to screaming, repetitive appealing which is easily controllable. I'm cool with getting excited and being passionate but repeatedly screaming " howzat, howzat, howzat!!" is a ploy to force an umpire's hand - every cricketer knows that.
Anyway, a fine team of cricketers from Bangladesh, coached by Paul Wiseman I think🤔

Wiki says the coach is Naveed Nawaz
A shame, you got me excited about a potential replacement for Stead!!!

The Bangles beat India in the final.
I watched the start and India looked a bit like the occasion was getting the better of them - scored something like 9/1 in the first 7 overs.
But, I see that man Extras eventually played a nerveless innings to help the Bangles struggle over the line!

From 103/1 in the 28th over, India's batting certainly fell away. Jaiswal looks like a batsman we'll see much more of after this tournament.

19 wides did a sterling job as the third highest scorer in the chase!
