India U19 edge Pakistan by one wicket in Asia Cup final at Al Amerat
India U19 (339/9 in 50 overs) beat Pakistan U19 (337/9 in 50 overs) by 1 wicket in the U19 Asia Cup final at Al Amerat on Saturday, November 14, 2026. Mohit Ulva remained unbeaten on 49 as the final ball cleared the boundary to complete the chase.
Pakistan posted 337/9 in the first innings, setting India a target of 338. India began steadily with fifties from Aaryavir Sehwag and Lakshya Rajesh Raichandani, the latter making 80, but the chase lost momentum and India were under pressure inside a packed Al Amerat Cricket Ground.
The contest swung when India lost captain Lakshya Rajesh Raichandani and Anvay Dravid in consecutive deliveries in the 37th over, before a recovery was mounted by Manal Chauhan and Mohit Ulva. Chauhan fell in the 48th over, leaving Mohit to finish the job; he finished 49 not out.
As the final ball went past the boundary the entire Indian team ran onto the field and celebrated, with Mohit wrapped in the tricolour and teammates moving into the Indian fans’ section. The report describes some Indian players celebrating in front of wicketkeeper Hamza Zahoor and the squad leaving the field amid loud celebrations.
The scorecard lists Kavya Patel with figures of 4/68 in Pakistan’s innings. India’s successful chase was described on social media, with Sony Sports Network tweeting: "INDIA, AGAINST ALL ODDS!
