Pakistan U19s managed to get back on winning track by beating PNG by 8 wickets in the final warm up match today. Pakistan were in the dirt first and restricted the PNG side to 194 from their allotted 50 overs for the loss of 6 wickets. Usman Qadir was the pick of the bowlers, bagging figures of 3-32 from his quota of 10. Left arm seamer Zia ul Haq opened the bowling and bowled economically throughout, only conceding 23 from his 10 overs.

Pakistan cruised their way to the total with star player Sami Aslam regaining form with 132 from 99 deliveries. The usual finishers, Umar Waheed and Imam ul Haq were unbeaten with 10 and 38 not out respectively as they were there at the end to knock off the winning runs and guide the team over the line in clinical fashion.

Pakistan will be hoping for another clinical showing on Saturday when they lock horns with Afghanistan in their first of 3 group matches.
