Usman Khan century propels Pakistan to 337 for 9 against India in U19 Asia Cup final

Opener Usman Khan scored 107 as Pakistan posted 337 for nine against India in the Under-19 Asia Cup final at the Al Amerat Cricket Ground in Oman on Saturday, November 14, 2026.

Usman began with a brisk opening stand of 62 with Hayam Khan in 8.1 overs and reached his century in 106 balls, anchoring Pakistan’s innings as defending champions. He and one-down batter Abdul Qadir put together a 135-run partnership in 18 overs, with Qadir compiling 80 off 54 balls and recording his maiden Youth ODI fifty in 39 deliveries. Qadir dispatched left-arm spinner Manal Chauhan and off-spinner Yashbardhdan Chauhan for two successive sixes during his innings.

The 240 for three position after 36 overs provided Pakistan a substantial platform in the match. Abdul Qadir’s innings ended when an aggressive drive off Arjun Rajput found VK Vineeth at covers, and Usman was later caught by Rajput at mid-off attempting a slash off pacer Kavya Patel.

Left-arm seamer Kavya Patel finished with 4 for 68, and C. Venkata claimed 3 for 40, each taking wickets as Pakistan accelerated late in the innings. Skipper Farhan Yousaf contributed a composed 60 off 63 balls, which helped Pakistan clear the 300 mark.

Pakistan’s innings closed at 337 for nine, with Usman Khan (107), Abdul Qadir (80) and Farhan Yousaf (60) the main contributors. The bowling figures for India included Kavya Patel 4/68 and C. Venkata 3/40.

India U19 will begin their reply chasing 338 to win the Under-19 Asia Cup final against Pakistan.
