England’s Under-19 cricketers sent a strong message at the World Cup, thrashing Pakistan by 37 runs. At the center was Caleb Faulkner, whose half-century turned the tide emphatically. Faulkner’s opening salvo was breathtaking, with fluent drives and audacious lofts. His 78-run essay, studded with 10 fours and a couple of sixes, rescued England from early jitters. Defending the total of 238, England’s bowlers hit their straps immediately. Pakistan, despite a promising start, crumbled under pressure, losing wickets in clusters. They were eventually bundled out for 201. This comprehensive win elevates England’s tournament prospects significantly.
