ACC Men's U19 Asia Cup 2025 Final: Pakistan Set 348 Runs Target To Team India

Dubai ACC Men's Under-19 Asia Cup-2025 Final between India and Pakistan. In this match, Pakistan lost the toss and batted first on India's invitation and scored heavily. Opener Sameer Minhas (172 off 113 balls; 17 fours, 9 sixes) broke out with a huge century and scored 347 runs for the loss of 8 wickets in the stipulated 50 overs. Sameer did a one-man show. Ahmed Hussain (56) stood by Sameer. Usman Khan (35) seemed unfazed. At one stage, it seemed that Pakistan had crossed the 400-run mark. But as the Indian bowlers recovered, Pakistan eventually lost 5 wickets in quick succession. At the same time, the score also slowed down.

In the last three overs, Pakistan tailenders Niqab Shafiq (12 not out) and Mohammad Sayyam (13 not out) played carefully without losing another wicket and took the team's score to the mark of 350 runs. Among the Indian bowlers, Dipesh Devendran took 3 wickets, Henil Patel, Khilan Patel took 2 wickets each and Kanishk Chauhan took one wicket. Meanwhile, in the semifinals of this tournament, India defeated Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Bangladesh and reached the finals.
