Pakistan Under-19 delivered an emphatic, all-around masterclass to dismantle England Under-19 by 200 runs in the fourth Youth One-Day International, sealing a commanding 3-1 series triumph in style.
Opting to bat first, the young Green Shirts mounted a relentless assault on the English bowling lineup, piling up a mammoth total of 350 for four in their allotted overs. Skipper Farhan Yousaf spearheaded the charge with a sublime, unbeaten 80, receiving brilliant support from Usman Khan and Jahangir Bilal, both of whom registered stylish knocks of 79 to put Pakistan firmly in the driver’s seat.
Faced with a daunting target of 351, the hosts wilted under sustained pressure and relentless Pakistani bowling, ultimately crumbling for a meager 150 runs.
Right-arm pacer Ahmed Hussain proved to be the wrecker-in-chief, producing a devastating spell to claim three wickets for just 16 runs. His incisive breakthroughs shattered any hopes of an English fightback, sealing a massive 200-run rout and putting an exclamation mark on a thoroughly successful tour for the Pakistan youth side.
