Pakistan, Bangladesh & Australia Win their First games

Pakistan, Bangladesh & Australia Win their First games in ICC under 19 World cup today. Australia beat England by 6 wickets. Pakistan beat Afghanistan by 109 runs. Bangladesh beat Sri Lanka by 25 runs.

Afghanistan crashed to a 109-run defeat at the hands of Pakistan at John Blanck Oval. Afghanistan chose to field and were able to keep Pakistan to 6 for 253. Pakistan captain Babar Azam top-scored with 75 but his effort at the top of the order was almost undermined by a middle-order wobble as a result of which the team slipped to 5 for 148 in the 37th over. But Mohammad Nawaz stepped up amid the pressure, smashing 66 off just 50 balls, including seven fours and a six, to take the score past 250. He added 103 with No.5 batsman Umar Waheed, who was unbeaten on 43 off 44 balls.
Bangladesh's captain Anamul Haque led his side to victory over Sri Lanka with a century in their opening Under-19 World Cup match at Allan Border Field in Brisbane. Haque's 101 was augmented by 84 from Asif Ahmed as Bangladesh notched a tally of 7 for 249, and it would prove too steep a task for the Sri Lankans, who fell 25 runs short in the afternoon.
England all out for just 143 at Tonsvile. Sandhu & Turner pick 3 wickets each. Chasing a small target of 144 Australia loss first four wickets early. But Head 57* finished the game comfortably with captain Bosisto 35*.
