U19 Men’s WC: Australia-Pakistan Semi-final The Best Game I Have Ever Been A Part Of, Says Olivier Peake
Geelong Grammar School: Young batter Oliver Peake said Australia’s narrow one-wicket win over Pakistan in the second semi-final of the U19 Men’s World Cup is the "best game" he has been a part of. The cliffhanger of a win meant Australia progressed into the title clash, where they now face defending champions India on Sunday.
"It was a pretty amazing feeling seeing the ball go down to fine leg (to win the game). It was probably the best game I have ever been a part of, it was just so amazing. It’s hard to describe, from coming two weeks ago as a replacement to playing in a semi-final, it is a pretty dramatic change in events so I was pretty happy," said Peake to cricket.com.au.
Peake scored a crucial 49 from 75 balls in the thrilling semi-final for Australia against Pakistan, after coming in as a replacement for Corey Wasley, who suffered a finger injury midway in the tournament. At 17, he’s the youngest player to be in the Australia U19 side at the tournament.
