Both teams have yet to face defeat.<\/p>\n<p>Pakistan, led by Saad Baig, earned their semi-final berth by finishing second in Super Six Group 1. In contrast, Australia, under Hugh Weibgen\u2019s leadership, advanced to the knockout stage as Group 2 winners.<\/p>\n<p>This sets the stage for a thrilling encounter between two in-form teams, with the victor progressing to the final against India.<\/p>\n<p>Pakistan, also known as the Green Shirts, have shown remarkable consistency and dominance in their group-stage matches against Afghanistan, Nepal, and New Zealand. Their winning streak continued against Ireland and Bangladesh, although Bangladesh did give them a run for their money in their most recent match.<\/p>\n<p>Australia, on the other hand, topped their group with successive wins over Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, and Namibia. The \u2018Men in Yellow\u2019 then secured their semi-final spot by defeating England by 110 runs in the Super Six stage and drawing against West Indies.<\/p>\n<h3>Pitch Report<\/h3>\n<p>The pitch at Willowmoore Park has been one of the most challenging at this year\u2019s U19 World Cup. In the first semi-final, the fast bowlers found extra bounce. As a result, batters in the upcoming match will need to play with caution and thoughtfulness before going for big shots. For spinners, the ball doesn\u2019t always behave as expected.<\/p>\n<h3>Head-to-Head<\/h3>\n<p>The competitive history between Australia and Pakistan is reflected in their head-to-head record. Of the 35 matches they\u2019ve played, Pakistan U19 has won 19 times, while Australia U19 has claimed victory 14 times.<\/p>\n<p>There has also been a match that ended in a draw and one that was tied, highlighting the intense competition between these two youth teams.<\/p>\n<p>Their rivalry began with their first match on 4th February 1982. Their most recent encounter was on 8th January 2022.<\/p>\n<h3>Probable lineups<\/h3>\n<p><b>Australia:\u00a0<\/b>Harry Dixon, Harjas Singh, Sam Konstas, Hugh Weibgen (C), Oliver Peake, Lachlan Aitken (wk), Raf MacMillan, Harkirat Bajwa, Tom Straker, Mahli Beardman, Callum Vidler<\/p>\n<p><b>Pakistan:\u00a0<\/b>Shamyl Hussain, Shahzaib Khan, Azan Awais, Saad Baig (C\/Wk), Ahmad Hassan, Haroon Arshad, Arafat Minhas, Ubaid Shah, Mohammad Zeeshan, Ali Asfand, Ali Raza<\/p>\n<div class=\"alsoread\">\n<h4 class=\"text-uppercase mb-10 mt-20 fs-18\">Also Read<\/h4>\n<div class=\"post-box sty22\">\n<div class=\"post-frame js-ratioHtP\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<h5 class=\"title\">ICC U19 World Cup 2024 Relocated from Sri Lanka<\/h5>\n<p>U19 Cricket World Cup moved to South Africa from Sri Lanka.
