on Monday. Tony Ireland Stadium in Townsville is the venue for the
exciting quarter-final.
Though India enjoys an overall 9-7 record against Pakistan in U19
cricket, the green shirts have performed better in big and pressure
matches, having won five of the six contests in the ICC U19 Cricket
World Cups.
Pakistan got the better of India in the semi-final of the 2004 event
in Bangladesh, then in the 2006 final in Sri Lanka and overpowered
India again in the quarter-final in New Zealand in 2010. In the
inaugural event in 1988, Pakistan defeated India by 68 runs while
India's only victory in the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup came in the 1998
event in Durban where it beat Pakistan by five wickets.
This is contrary to the senior team India, who are still to lose a
match to Pakistan in World Cups. They have thus far played 5 matches
in the flagship event and India has won all of them.
In the ongoing event, Pakistan remained unbeaten in Group B while in
Group C India suffered a shock defeat against the West Indies before
it bounced back to win convincingly against Zimbabwe and Papua New
Guinea (PNG).
