Pakistan reached 139/2 in 20 overs against India in the U19 Asia Cup final in Dubai, driven by Sameer Minhas' exceptional batting performance. Khilan Patel provided India's breakthrough by dismissing Usman Khan, ending a crucial partnership. However, Minhas continued his dream innings, scoring 68 and breaking through India's sustained pressure with an innovative scoop shot over the keeper off Kanishk Chouhan. New batter Ahmed Hussain joined Minhas, known for his busy approach and gap-finding singles. The pair previously added 293 runs against Malaysia, showing strong camaraderie. India desperately seeks Minhas' wicket while attempting to build pressure through dot balls and quick wickets. (PC: India Today)
