IND vs PAK U19: India beat Pakistan by 90 runs in Under-19 Asia Cup clash in Dubai

India's Under-19 Men's cricket team sealed a comfortable win against arch-rivals Pakistan in the ongoing Asia Cup in Dubai on Sunday.

After being bundled out for 240 runs in under 50 overs, Indian bowlers had a mounting task ahead of them.

Deepesh Devendran and Kanishk Chouhan, who picked up 3 wickets each, played a crucial role in ending Pakistan's innings for mere 150 runs.


With the bat, India's Aaron George played a 85-run knock to take the Men in Blue to a respectable total as openers Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Ayush Mhatre were not able to build a strong partnership together. After getting off to a brisk start, India's skipper struck four boundaries and three sixes during his 25-ball knock before Mohammad Sayyam removed both openers inside the first 10 overs.

For Pakistan, Sayyam (3/67) and Abdul Subhan (3/42) were the standout bowlers, while Niqab Shafiq chipped in with two wickets.

Pakistan's chase faltered early as they slipped to 30 for four, with Devendran striking thrice in a sharp opening spell.

Captain Farhan Yousaf (23) and Huzaifa Ahsan attempted to steady the innings, but Chouhan’s incisive off-spin broke the resistance. Ahsan top-scored for Pakistan with 70 off 83 balls, but lacked support at the other end.

Brief scores:

India U-19: 240 all out in 46.1 overs (Aaron George 85, Kanishk Chouhan 46; Mohammad Sayyam 3/67, Abdul Subhan 3/42).

Pakistan U-19: 150 all out in 41.2 overs (Huzaifa Ahsan 70; Kanishk Chouhan 3/33, Deepesh Devendran 3/16).
