**Dubai, UAE** – The highly anticipated clash between India and Pakistan in the U-19 Asia Cup took place today in Dubai. Pakistan, winning the toss, elected to bat first. Openers Shahzaib Khan and Usman Khan provided a solid start, with Khan reaching a half-century. Despite a strong start, Pakistan’s scoring rate was stifled by the Indian bowlers, particularly Samarth Nagaraj and Nikhil Kumar. At the time of writing, Pakistan were well on their way to a strong total.
The match marks another chapter in the intense India-Pakistan rivalry. India, eight-time champions, boast a strong squad including IPL-contracted players Vaibhav Suryavanshi (Rajasthan Royals) and Andre Siddarth (Chennai Super Kings). Suryavanshi, at just 13 years old, is the youngest ever to receive an IPL contract. India’s team is captained by Mohammed Amaan. Pakistan, led by Saad Baig, features four players from last year’s squad. The two teams have a nearly even head-to-head record in the competition, with four wins each and one tie.
The match is being televised on Sony Sports Ten 5 SD & HD and Sony Sports Ten 3 SD & HD (Hindi), and live streamed on Sony LIV. The tournament has already seen victories for Bangladesh against Afghanistan and Sri Lanka against Nepal.
