In a commanding display at the U-19 Asia Cup, Pakistan outshone India in their second match, securing a resounding 8-wicket victory at the ICC Academy Ground in Dubai. Opting to field after winning the toss, Pakistan’s Under-19 team, led by exceptional bowling from Mohammad Zeeshan, limited India to 259 runs in 50 overs, with Ubaid Shah and Amir Hassan also claiming two wickets each.
Pakistan’s response was nothing short of remarkable, fueled by Azan Owais’s superb century, amassing 105 runs adorned with ten boundaries. Shahzaib Khan added a dynamic 63, and Captain Saad Baig exhibited resilience with an unbeaten 68, steering Pakistan to a successful chase of 260 runs with only two wickets lost in 47 overs.
This triumph marks Pakistan Under-19’s second consecutive victory in the ongoing tournament, building on their earlier win against Nepal Under-19. The team now gears up to face Afghanistan in their third match on Tuesday, December 12, 2023, as they aim to maintain their winning momentum in the U-19 Asia Cup.
