IND vs PAK Highlights, U19 Asia Cup Final 2025: Pakistan beat India by 191 runs to clinch title

IND vs PAK Live Score, U19 Asia Cup Final 2025: India and Pakistan will renew their storied rivalry in the Under-19 Asia Cup final on Sunday, with India chasing a record-extending 12th title at the ICC Academy in Dubai. India have been the standout side of the tournament, topping Group A with a perfect record under the leadership of Ayush Mhatre.

Pakistan qualified for the final after finishing second in the group, their campaign marked by inconsistency with the bat. Their only group-stage defeat came against India, who handed them a 90-run loss last Sunday. Despite that setback, Pakistan showed resilience in the semi-finals, knocking out defending champions Bangladesh to set up a final rematch.

India’s run to the final has been built on dominant batting performances. The side has crossed the 400-run mark twice, underlining the depth and confidence of their top and middle order. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s 171 against UAE laid the foundation early in the tournament, while Abhigyan Kundu raised the bar further with an unbeaten 209 off 125 balls against Malaysia, a historic innings that made him the first Indian to score a Youth ODI double hundred.

The middle order has also stepped up when required. Aaron George has been a model of consistency with three consecutive half-centuries, and Vihaan Malhotra’s unbeaten 61 against Sri Lanka helped India cruise through the semi-finals. All-rounder Kanishk Chouhan has added crucial balance, contributing late runs and picking up six wickets, including a match-defining 3/33 against Pakistan in the group stage.

With the ball, India have been led by pacer Deepesh Devendran, who is joint-highest wicket-taker in the tournament with 11 wickets. His five-wicket haul against Malaysia and a three-over burst against Pakistan highlighted his impact.

Pakistan will lean heavily on Sameer Minhas, who has shown his class with an unbeaten 177 against Malaysia and a half-century versus Bangladesh. Their bowling attack is pace-driven, led by Abdul Subhan, with support from Mohammad Sayyam and Ali Raza, while spin options include Niqab Shafiq and Ahmed Hussain.

The final, starting at 10.30 am IST, promises intensity, discipline and high stakes, with both teams expected to follow the no-handshake policy as the tournament reaches its conclusion.

India’s path to the final has been powered by remarkable batting performances. The team has crossed 400 twice in the tournament, underlining the strength of their top order.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s 95-ball 171 against UAE set the tone early, but it was Abhigyan Kundu who stole the spotlight. The 17-year-old wicketkeeper-batter smashed an unbeaten 209 off 125 balls against Malaysia, becoming the first Indian to score a double hundred in Youth ODIs.

Both batters will be crucial against Pakistan’s pace-heavy attack, especially on a surface where runs have flowed freely throughout the tournament.

Vihaan Malhotra also stepped up when required, finishing unbeaten on 61 against Sri Lanka in the semi-final to guide India home without fuss. This ability to absorb pressure and finish games cleanly has added a layer of assurance to India’s batting unit.

In a final where nerves often play a role, India’s middle-order reliability could prove decisive.
