India U19 Battles Pakistan in Rain-Shortened Asia Cup Clash

Dubai, UAE – India U19 is currently batting against Pakistan U19 in a crucial Group A match of the ACC Men’s U19 Asia Cup 2025 at the ICC Academy Ground in Dubai. The match, initially scheduled for 50 overs, has been reduced to 49 overs per side due to rain.

After losing the toss and being put in to bat, India has reached a score of 182 for 6 in 33 overs. Khilan Patel and Kanishk Chauhan are currently at the crease.

The Indian innings got off to a shaky start, losing opener Vaibhav Suryavanshi early for just 5 runs. A partnership of 49 runs between Ayush Mhatre and Aron George steadied the ship, but Mhatre fell for a quickfire 38 (4 fours, 3 sixes). George anchored the innings with a solid 85 off 88 balls, including 12 fours and a six.

India is coming off a dominant 234-run victory against UAE in their opening match. Pakistan also had a resounding win, defeating Malaysia by 297 runs.
