The final of the Under-19 Asia Cup is being played today between Pakistan and India.
In the Under-19 Asia Cup final, defending champions Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat first; aggressive batting is currently underway. The ‘Shaheens’ (Pakistan team) got off to a brilliant start; after Hayam Khan was dismissed for 21 runs, Abdul Qadir arrived at the crease and unleashed a barrage of sixes and fours.
In the match taking place in Al Amerat, Oman, Pakistan—who entered the final undefeated—saw their captain, Farhan Yousuf, opt to bat first. The opening pair provided a fantastic start, putting 62 runs on the board.
When Hayam Khan got out after scoring 21 runs, Abdul Qadir arrived at the crease and immediately unleashed a barrage of sixes and fours.
Pakistan scored 93 runs for the loss of one wicket in the first powerplay. Subsequently, Usman Khan and Abdul Qadir batted responsibly, rapidly advancing the score. At present, three Pakistani players are out, and the score stands at 250.
It is worth noting that in the final of the previous edition, Pakistan defeated India to win the title for the first time.
