Pakistan have beaten India in this ACC Men's U19 Asia Cup contest by 43 runs! The high-octane sees Mohamed Amaan and his men come up short as they failed to chase down a 282-run target in this match. Batting first, Pakistan finished with 281/7 which was largely possible due to Shahzaib Khan's 159 off 147 deliveries. His opening partner Usman Khan also scored 60 runs. For India, Samarth Nagaraj took three wickets while Ayush Mhatre scalped two. Yudhajit Guha and Kiran Chormale took one each. In response, India U19 cricket team's batting did not pose to be good enough a challenge. India lost wickets at regular intervals and at no point did it look like chasing this total down. Nikhil Kumar was India's best performer with the bat, scoring 67 runs off 77 deliveries and Mohamed Enaan and Yudhajit Guha provided some entertainment down the order with some good shots. For Pakistan, Ali Raza was the best bowler as he picked up three wickets while Abdul Subhan and Faham-ul-Haq scalped two each. Usman Khan and Naveed Ahmed Khan took one wicket apiece.

Mohamed Enaan and Yudhajit Guha are keeping up this fight for India in this run chase with the two right-handers providing some entertainment with the bat. This partnership is taking the gloss off Pakistan's performance. The outcome is in favour of Pakistan but India cannot be counted out just.
OUT! One more wicket for Pakistan and this time, Hardik Raj has found the fielder. Pakistan are one wicket away from a win which will also hand their NRR a big boost!
OUT! Ali Raza has struck twice in two balls, dismissing Harvansh Singh and Samarth Nagraj! Pakistan are in a hurry to finish this match and India now slump into further trouble. India can attempt to play out the 50 overs which would have a lesser impact on their Net Run Rate. Harvansh Singh c Saad Baig b Ali Raza 26(28) and Samarth Nagaraj c Haroon Arshad b Ali Raza 0(1)
OUT! Nikhil Kumar has been dismissed by Naveed Ahmed Khan! The left-hander danced down the track but missed the ball and ended up being stumped. India are in trouble once again! Nikhil Kumar st Saad Baig b Naveed Ahmed Khan 67(77)
FIFTY for Nikhil Kumar! India have something to cheer about with the youngster playing some fine shots en route to a good knock. He will now look to build on this and make it big here.
OUT! Pakistan have broken the partnership and it is Faham-ul-Haq has castled Kiran Chormale! The right-hander was completely deceived by the delivery which crashed into the stumps and India are on the backfoot once again. Kiran Chormale b Faham-ul-Haq 20(30) Submit
The partnership between Nikhil Kumar and Kiran Chormale has gained stability and it seems that they are slowly growing into this game. Pakistan need to break this partnership to bounce back in the match.
Nikhil Kumar is been leading the charge for India in the middle with some delightful shots and he will be key if they are to chase this total down. Pakistan are still in control though and this game is turning out to be a fascinating one.
