The 10th match of the ICC U-19 World Cup 2022 has Pakistan U-19 (PK-U19) taking on Zimbabwe U19 (ZIM-U19) at the Diego Martin Sporting Complex in Diego Martin on Monday.
Pakistan are set to start their campaign amid high expectations and rightly so. They are among the favorites to go all the way, given the depth and balance in their squad. Led by Qasim Akram, Pakistan will be keen to start their World Cup journey with a win over Zimbabwe, who come into the game on the back of a win against Papua New Guinea. Although the likes of David Bennett and Emmanuel Bawa are in decent form, Zimbabwe will start as the underdogs. With both teams targeting full points, a riveting contest beckons in Diego Martin.

Venue: Diego Martin Sporting Complex, Diego Martin
Pitch Report
With this being the first game at the venue in the U19 World Cup, a decent batting track is expected at the Diego Martin Sports Complex. However, the pacers should get the ball to swing around early on, keeping the batters on their toes. Although there shouldn't be much turn on offer for the spinners, variations in pace could do the trick for them. Both teams will ideally look to bat first upon winning the toss, with 240 being a good total on this ground.
