In a thrilling encounter at the Under-19 Cricket World Cup, England’s young guns showcased their dominance by defeating Pakistan by 37 runs. The star of the show was opener Caleb Faulkner, whose explosive half-century laid the foundation for a competitive total. England won the toss and elected to bat first on a friendly pitch. Faulkner took the attack to the Pakistani bowlers from the outset, reaching his fifty in just 45 balls. Despite a late collapse, England posted 238 for 7 in their 50 overs. Chasing 239, Pakistan started cautiously but lost early wickets. England’s pace attack dismantled the top order, restricting Pakistan to 201 all out.
