Opting to bat first, Pakistan A faced early setbacks, losing Saim Ayub and Omair Yousuf in the fifth over to RS Hangargekar’s double-wicket maiden. Haseebullah Khan and Sahibzada Farhan tried to stabilize the innings, but spin from both ends hindered their progress, resulting in four wickets falling quickly at just 50 runs.
Despite a shaky start at 95-6, Pakistan showed resilience, making 110 for their last four wickets. Qasim Akram led the fight with 48, while Mubasir Khan and Mehran Mumtaz contributed with 28 and 25 runs, respectively, helping Pakistan surpass the 200-run mark.
BIG WIN for India in the Emerging Asia Cup!

After that India came to chase the total of 205 and reach easily without any problem. It shows how dominant indian boys were. Infact 6-7 players in pakistan squad is an international player but still indian boys doesn’t care about anyone. That shows the confidence of these young guns.

Very well played Sai Sudharsan!
