Pakistan U19 clinched their first U19 Asia Cup title since 2012 with a dominant 191-run victory over India U19 in Dubai. After posting 347/8 in 50 overs, powered by Sameer Minhas' record-breaking 172, Pakistan bowled India out for just 156 in 26.2 overs. Deepesh Devendran top-scored with 32 off 14 balls in India's collapse. The comprehensive win avenged Pakistan's earlier group-stage defeat where they were bowled out for 150 chasing 241. India, led by Ayush Mhatre, had entered the final unbeaten after victories over UAE, Malaysia, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. Pakistan's young guns significantly improved their batting and bowling performances to secure the title.
