Aaron George started India’s innings
India U19 started with positive intent but lost early wickets, giving Pakistan a chance to apply pressure in the powerplay. Amidst the ups and downs, George emerged as the backbone of the Indian innings. Displaying maturity beyond his years, George scored 85, mixing solid defense with timely aggression. He skillfully rotated the strike and punished loose balls, ensuring that India did not lose momentum in the middle overs.
Kanishka provided excellent support to George by scoring 46 runs. When Pakistan tried to score runs, the right-handed batsman counter-attacked and played a calculated innings. Their partnership carried the innings forward and set the stage for India to reach a competitive score. However, Pakistan made a comeback towards the end of the innings through disciplined bowling.
Pakistan U19 bowling led Abdul SubhanWho emerged as their most effective bowler. Subhan took 3 wickets for 42 runs, breaking important partnerships and preventing India from gaining free momentum in the death overs. His ability to change pace and hit the length consistently helped Pakistan restrict India to 240 rather than a more challenging score.
Despite Subhan’s efforts, Pakistan’s fielding lapses and inability to maintain pressure from both ends helped India cross the 230-run mark, which ultimately proved well beyond Pakistan’s reach.
Pakistan struggle to chase despite resistance from Huzaifa Ahsan
Chasing 241, Pakistan U19 needed a solid start but lost wickets early, putting immediate pressure on the middle order. Huzaifa Ahsan Amidst the collapse, he stood tall playing a fighting inning of 70 runs. He showed composure against both pace and spin and attempted to chase the target with calculated strokeplay.
However, the lack of support from the other end proved costly. Regular wickets ensured that Pakistan never built dangerous partnerships and the required run rate continued to rise.
