**Colombo, Sri Lanka:** India’s Under-19 cricket team began its Asia Cup campaign with a crushing 44-run defeat against arch-rivals Pakistan on [Date of Match]. Pakistan, batting first, posted a challenging 281/7, thanks largely to a magnificent 159 from 19-year-old Shahazeb Khan, which included 5 boundaries and 10 sixes. He shared a crucial 160-run opening partnership with Usman Khan (60).
Chasing a daunting target, India got off to a promising start but wickets tumbled regularly.

This defeat leaves India in third place in Group A, behind UAE and Pakistan, who both have one win each. India’s next match is against Japan on December 2nd.
