Bet365 not rating New Zealand's one-pronged pace attack too highly. Afg now 2.20 to win.

Wow, Afg clearly pretty good. I know NZU19's batting has been quite good this tournament but it's still hard to see them chasing this.

Good to see some serious potential future NZ cricketers in our 19s. Falling apart at the death like that is pure Black Caps.

I wouldn't back many U19 teams to chase down 300.

Generally the lower orders are the weaker links in an age restricted talent pool, and just down have the games to operate under pressure v some of the top players from the opposition.

Some of the little amount of play I've seen so far in this tournament was lower orders struggling to hit 40odd kph spin off the block.

The slight chance NZ will have is if this is a day that Finn Allen comes off and his innings is both cakey and icingy enough to remove scoreboard pressure from some of his lesser teammates.
