Pakistan’s Under-19 cricket team clinched the 2025 Youth Asia Cup title with a commanding 191-run victory over India in Dubai. Batting first at the ICC Academy Ground, Pakistan posted a massive 347 for eight, powered by opener Samir Minhas’s stunning 172 off 113 balls, featuring 17 fours and nine sixes. Ahmed Hossain added 56, while Usman Khan contributed 35, setting India a daunting target.

In reply, India’s batting lineup collapsed under pressure, managing only 156 runs in 26.2 overs. Dipesh Devendran top-scored with 36, as Pakistan’s bowlers dominated — Ali Raza took four wickets, while Mohammad Sayem, Abdul Subhan, and Huzaifa Ahsan claimed two each. The victory marked Pakistan’s second Youth Asia Cup triumph, following their shared title with India in 2012.

Samir Minhas was named both Player of the Match and Player of the Series for his outstanding performance. The result reinforces Pakistan’s growing strength in youth cricket and sets the tone for the next generation of international players from the region.
