IND U19 v PAK U19: Final Preview and Dream11 Tips, ACC Men’s U19 Asia Cup 2026
India U19 and Pakistan U19 will meet in the final of the ACC Men’s U19 Asia Cup 2026 at Al Amerat Cricket Ground Turf 2 in Al Amerat on Saturday, November 14, 2026, with the match scheduled to start at 10:30 AM IST. The game concludes the thirteenth edition of the tournament.
These sides last met in the group stage, where Pakistan U19 edged India by three wickets in a low-scoring match, and the final will be the second meeting between them in a matter of days. Across 31 Youth ODIs between the teams, India have 17 wins, Pakistan 13 and one game finished tied. India are pursuing a ninth U19 Asia Cup title while Pakistan would claim a third if they win this final.
Forecasts for Al Amerat call for clear and sunny conditions with a maximum temperature of 28°C and expected humidity around 45-55% during the scheduled time. Organisers and analysts say the wicket has played pretty well in the tournament and that batting second has been successful; early moisture has favoured fast bowlers with the new ball, while conditions have settled by the second innings and batting has become easier.
Pakistan U19 named: Usman Khan, Abdul Qadir, Farhan Yousaf (c), Ahmed Hussain, Ali Raza, Hamza Zahoor (wk), Hasnain Abbas Dar, Mohammad Sayyam, Rizwanullah, Niqab Shafiq, Hayam Khan. India U19 named: Lakshya Rajesh Raichandani (c), Aaryavir Sehwag, VK Vineeth, Arjun Rajput, Yashbardhan Chauhan, Anvay Dravid (wk), Manal Chauhan, Mohit Ulva, Aryan Savsani, Kavya Patel, Ishan Sood. Farhan Yousaf leads Pakistan and Lakshya Rajesh Raichandani captains India.
Recommended Dream11 selections include batters Aaryavir Sehwag, Vineeth VK, Usman Khan and Lakshya Rajesh Raichandani; all-rounders Rizwanullah, Arjun Rajput, Manal Chauhan and Ahmed Hussain; and bowlers Md Sayyam, Ishan Sood and Ali Raza. One suggested captain pick is Aaryavir Sehwag with Ishan Sood as an alternate captain; Usman Khan is listed as the first-choice vice-captain and Md Sayyam as a secondary vice-captain.
An alternative Dream11 captain recommendation lists Arjun Rajput as the first-choice captain and Lakshya Rajesh Raichandani as the second-choice captain, with Rizwanullah as the first-choice vice-captain and Ahmed Hussain as the secondary vice-captain. The selections repeat core names across batting, all-round and bowling slots to form balanced fantasy combinations.
India U19 have shown good recent form and their top order is described as being in good shape, while Pakistan U19 are noted to have experienced players who have been in similar situations; based on that assessment Khel Now backs Pakistan U19 to win the final.
