India and Pakistan are set for another high-voltage clash as the two arch-rivals lock horns in the U19 Asia Cup Final on Sunday in Dubai. With both teams coming off dominant semi-final wins, the title match promises intensity, young talent on display, and plenty of nerves on the line.
Led by Ayush Mhatre, India enter the final brimming with confidence after an unbeaten run in the tournament. Pakistan, meanwhile, will be keen to settle scores after suffering a heavy defeat to India in the group stage.
India U19’s red-hot run to the final
India’s journey to the summit clash has been nothing short of commanding. The team topped Group A and handed Pakistan a crushing 90-run defeat earlier in the tournament. In the semi-final, India brushed aside Sri Lanka by eight wickets, showing depth in both batting and bowling.

Batting has been India’s biggest strength. Vaibhav Suryavanshi grabbed headlines with a stunning 95-ball 171 against the UAE, while Abhigyan Kundu followed it up with a marathon 209 off 125 balls. Middle-order batter Aaron George has quietly stitched together three consecutive half-centuries, providing stability during the crucial middle overs.
Bowlers set the tone
India’s bowling unit has been just as impressive. Fast bowler Deepesh Sharma is currently the joint-highest wicket-taker of the tournament with 11 scalps. His spell of 5/22 against Malaysia and a fiery burst against Pakistan—where he removed three batters in three overs—underline his impact. Support has come from across the attack, keeping opposition line-ups under constant pressure.
Pakistan eye comeback in final
Pakistan booked their place in the final after defeating defending champions Bangladesh in the semi-finals. While they have shown resilience, the final against India will test their temperament, especially against a side that has dominated them once already in this tournament.
