**Dubai, UAE:** Pakistan’s Under-19 cricket team secured a resounding 44-run victory over India in a Group A clash of the U-19 Asia Cup on Saturday. A stunning century by opener Shahzaib Khan (159) spearheaded Pakistan’s impressive 281/7. Khan’s knock, supported by Usman Khan’s 60, formed a dominant 160-run opening partnership that set the tone for the innings. Samarth Nagaraj claimed three wickets for India in a losing effort.

India’s chase never truly materialized, despite a valiant 67 from Nikhil Kumar. Regular wickets hampered their progress, and despite a late flourish from the last pair, India were bowled out for 237 in 47.1 overs. The final partnership between Yudhajit Guha (27) and Mohamed Enaan (30) added some late drama, but it proved insufficient to prevent a comprehensive Pakistan victory. The win highlights Pakistan’s strong start to the tournament.
