Pakistan A Team Triumph Over India A in Asia Cup Rising Stars Tournament; PCB Chairman Celebrates Victory

Doha, Qatar – November 17, 2025 – The Pakistan A cricket team, known as Pakistan Shaheens, secured a resounding victory against India A in the Asia Cup Rising Stars tournament held in Doha. The win, achieved by 8 wickets, has been met with jubilant celebrations in Pakistan, especially after recent losses by the senior team against India in the Asia Cup.

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi took to social media platform X to express his pride and congratulate the team. “A proud moment for Pakistan and the PCB. Our Pakistan Shaheens defeated India A by 8 wickets, chasing the target in just 13.2 overs. An outstanding performance! Our young cricketers have played brilliantly. The future of Pakistan is bright. Congratulations to the entire nation on this victory,” Naqvi posted.

India A struggled throughout their innings, being bowled out for a mere 136 runs. Vaibhav Suryavanshi (45) and Naman Dhir (35) were the only notable contributors with the bat.

Pakistan A’s run-chase was spearheaded by opener Maaz Sadaqat, who remained unbeaten on 79 runs. His aggressive batting display ensured a swift victory, reaching the target in just 13.2 overs.

The match was also marked by the continued practice of Indian players refraining from handshakes with their Pakistani counterparts, a protocol also observed during the Asia Cup 2025 and the Women’s World Cup matches.

This victory serves as a morale boost for Pakistan cricket and highlights the potential of its young players.
