IND U19 vs PAK U19 Asia Cup Final LIVE Score Updates: India have lost early wickets in their pursuit of 348. India started well in response to Pakistan’s imposing 347 in the ACC Men’s Under-19 Asia Cup 2025 final at the ICC Academy on Sunday but later lost wickets in quick succession. Chasing a record-extending 12th title, Ayush Mhatre’s side face a stern test against a Pakistan unit that dominated large phases of the first innings riding on Sameer Minhas’ 172 off 113.
India opted to bowl first
After opting to bowl first, India struck early with Henil Patel removing opener Hamza Zahoor inside the powerplay. However, Pakistan wrestled control through a majestic knock from Sameer Minhas, who smashed 172 off 112 balls in a display of power and composure. Minhas added 92 with Usman Khan and followed it up with a crucial 137-run partnership alongside Ahmed Hussain, keeping India under sustained pressure.
Late comeback by India with the ball
India found their way back into the contest late on, triggering a mini-collapse that saw Pakistan slide from 302/3 in the 43rd over to 327/8. Khilan Patel was the overall standout, dismissing both Usman and Hussain. But in this phase it was Devendran who was the wrecker-in-chief as India picked up quick wickets to prevent the total from spiralling further.
Despite the late surge, Pakistan have posted a formidable target, leaving India with a steep task ahead. With prodigies Ayush Mhatre and Vaibhav Suryavanshi at the top of the order, the Indian colts will back themselves to mount a serious challenge in the chase.
