**Dubai, UAE** – Pakistan set India a challenging 282-run target in their opening match of the U19 Asia Cup 2024 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Shahzib Khan led the charge for Pakistan, smashing a magnificent 159 runs off 147 balls, including 5 fours and 10 sixes. His innings formed the backbone of Pakistan’s 281/7 in their allotted 50 overs. He and Usman Khan (60 runs) put on a crucial 160-run opening partnership. Samarth Nagraj was the pick of the Indian bowlers, taking three wickets. Ayush Mhatre and Kiran Chormale each claimed one wicket.

India’s chase got off to a shaky start, losing two early wickets. Ayush Mhatre, who scored 20 runs, and Vaibhav Suryavanshi were the early casualties. At the time of writing, India are still batting, with Andre Siddharth and captain Mohammad Aman at the crease. The match is still underway, and the result remains uncertain. India, the most successful team in the tournament’s history with eight titles in ten editions, will be looking to make a strong start to their campaign.
