In a thrilling encounter at the U19 Asia Cup final, Pakistan's U19 team emerged victorious with a remarkable 191-run win over their arch-rivals, India. The match not only showcased Pakistan's dominance on the field but also marked a significant moment as the PCB chief, Mr. Naqvi, presented the title to the young champions. This victory not only secured the coveted U19 Asia Cup trophy for Pakistan but also prevented a repetition of the trophy presentation drama that unfolded in the senior tournament. Sameer Minhas played a pivotal role in Pakistan's triumph, smashing an extraordinary 172 runs to propel his team to a challenging total of 347. India, in response, struggled to mount a significant challenge and eventually fell short, getting bowled out for 156. Interestingly, during the medal ceremony, Indian players opted to collect their medals individually, steering clear of the ACC chairman. This victory not only highlights Pakistan's prowess in youth cricket but also adds another chapter to the historic rivalry between the two cricketing nations.
