Match report and summary of friendly match with Scotland played on July 21.

Match Ratings Pakistan Vs. Scotland

Scotland U20 Pakistan U20
Batting - Top Order 9,602 9,015
Batting - Middle Order 9,456 7,740
Batting - Tail 4,990 3,801
Bowling - Seam 9,864 (8) 9,409 (12)
Bowling - Spin 9,641 (12) 10,044 (8)
Fielding/Keeping 10,233 9,707
Overall 170,556 155,864

We had the first tie with Scotland after a losing streak of 7 matches. Although ratings of Scotland are higher than Pakistan we did well to manage a tie in the end.

Our openers did a great job and remain not out in the end and posted a total of 142 on the board. Although they may have accelerated in the end to get to a better total with all wickets in hand which may be due to the defensive tactics being applied to see the pitch being sticky.

Taslim Mujtaba was the stand-out bowler for Pakistan who took 4 wickets in total, three of which came in the final over when Scotland needed 4 to win and could only manage 3 runs.

Tufail Faiz also bowled brilliantly and gave away just 11 runs on 4 overs with one wicket to his credit.

Aftab bhojani was not at his best during this match as he leaked 39 runs in 4 overs. His second last over of the match went for 15 runs which reduced the target to 4 runs in the last over which was well managed by Taslim Mujtaba in the end.

Managers please train your players to expert on batting if they are batters and if he is bowler then train bowling to expert and any player whether he is batter or bowler his primary skills need to be capable by the time he is 17 years old.

U20 friendly was played today against the West Indies U20 side where we gave opportunities to our touring players.

Winning the toss, we picked to bowl first and our bowlers gave away too many runs as the WI openers managed to make a solid start and they managed to score 121/6.
Khalil Farrukh was the best bowler with figures of 4-0-21-2.

We lost a wicket first ball and then Almar Daraz and Awais Akmal provided a 52 run partnership for the 2nd wicket which gave us hope of chasing down the target.
No one else could provide runs after both got out and we ended up losing by 16 runs.

Ireland is hosting the T20 Division 3 tour this season and the team went in with hopes of finally getting their first win in an official match.

We played Bermuda U20 first in Sticky/Windy conditions where we lost the toss and were put in to bat first.

A few of our batters got starts but Bilal Shafi starred with the bat in scoring a fine 41 which helped anchor the team to a defendable total of 128/8.

Our bowlers performed really well in defending the target as they bowled according to their plans and did not let the opposition batters get away.
All the bowlers picked up a wicket each and Hameedullah Mannan got 2 wickets which led us to a 16 run win.

Player of the Day goes to Bilal Shafi for his effort with the bat.

We are all relieved to finally get an official win on the board and now we hope to carry the momentum going forward.

Bangladesh U20 were up next in Crumbling/Overcast conditions.

We won the toss and chose to bat first.

Our batters struggled in the tough conditions but fortunately we had a few players get starts which led us to 101/6 in the 20 overs.
Gulraiz Afridi top scored with 27 with Awais Akmal (23) and Bilal Shafi (18) also contributing.

Once again our bowlers executed their plans well and did not let the opposition batters settle.
All of them had an economy rate of under 6 and only three of their batters were able to get double digit scores which led to a narrow 3 run win for us.
Except for Sabtain Ghaffar all the bowlers picked up 2 wickets each but Ghaffar was still the most economical.

I really cannot pick a Player of the Day for today as it was a team effort which got us the win with everyone contributing.

We played Kenya U20 on Dry/Windy and once again we won the toss and batted first.

Our batters started slow and Kenya U20 bowlers did a great job restricting us as our top and middle orders both had difficulty scoring and got dismissed cheaply.
It took an unbeaten 50 run partnership between Aleem Shanullah and Hameedullah Mannan to get us to 95/5 which was never going to be enough.
Mannan top scored with 36 not out.

The small target made it easy for the Kenya U20 batters as they could play carefully without taking too many risks which could be seen as their openers got a 76 run partnership.
We ended up losing by 8 wickets and now we are level on 12 points with Canada U20.

Hameedullah Mannan also gets Player of the Day for his effort with the bat.

Next match against Ireland U20 on Crumbling/Overcast is crucial as we need to win to get promotion.

Up against Ireland U20 in the Day 5 decider in Crumbling/Overcast conditions

We won the toss and batted first and yet again it was slow batting as we were faced with impressive Irish bowling and tough conditions.
We managed to get 92/8 in the 20 overs with Bilal Zahid Ramadan top scoring with 29 and Aleem Shanullah scored 28.

Our bowlers started off well but we did not leave them enough runs to defend and Ireland U20 managed to win by 5 wickets.
Ramadan was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 3-0-13-2 and he is also the Player of the Day for his all-round efforts.

Overall 173,741 156,278

Kenya U20 also won their final match but we still led due to having a better NRR which results in us getting promotion :party

We will also be playing in U-20 T20 Division 2 for the first time since Season 28 so I thank the management team and supporters for their support and guidance and hopefully we can gain promotion in the ODI league as well.
