Pakistan Shaheens Edge Out India A in Thrilling Asia Cup Rising Stars Clash

Doha, Qatar – In a tense encounter at the West End Park International Cricket Stadium, Pakistan Shaheens defeated India A in the Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025 tournament. After winning their first matches, both teams were looking to make a statement, but it was Pakistan that clinched the victory.

India A, after losing the toss and being put into bat, were bundled out for a modest 136 in 19 overs. Youngster Vaibhav Suryavanshi, 14, top-scored with a blistering 45 off 28 balls, including five fours and three sixes. His partnerships with Priansh Arya (10) and Naman Dhir (35) provided some early momentum. However, a collapse saw India lose their last seven wickets for just 45 runs. Captain Jitesh Sharma managed just 5, and the batting order failed to capitalize on Suryavanshi’s start. Shahid Aziz was the pick of the Pakistani bowlers, taking 3 wickets, while Maaz Sadaqat and Saad Masood grabbed two apiece.

Pakistan’s innings started strong, with Maaz Sadaqat and Muhammad Naeem putting on a 55-run opening stand before Yash Thakur dismissed Naeem for 14. India managed to apply some pressure, with Suyash Sharma taking the crucial wicket of Yasir Khan. However, Sadaqat’s steady innings anchored the chase.

Pakistan is at 22 runs in the last 8 overs, but were able to come away with the victory
