U19 Asia Cup 2025 Standings: Ayush Mhatre’s Indian side put on a comprehensive performance against Pakistan on Sunday to seal their spot in the semi-finals of the ongoing Under-19 ACC Asia Cup tournament being played in Dubai.
India’s all-round heft was exemplified by the resounding win as the team was able to put on a superb show despite the early dismissals of Mhatre and young sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. Aaron George delivered a performance affirming his status as a promising batting prospect, just as pacer Deepesh Devendran further solidified his case for a role in the senior team’s future plans. The contributions of this duo, coupled with Kanishk Chouhan’s all-round display, were instrumental in India securing an emphatic 90-run win over Pakistan.
The win sealed India’s spot in the first semi-final after having recorded a dominating win in the tournament opener against hosts UAE. Despite the harrowing defeat, Pakistan remain in firm contention to book the second semis spot from Group A, only requiring a win over UAE in their final game on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh currently occupy the top two spots in Group B, requiring a win each in Monday’s matches against Nepal and Afghanistan respectively to secure qualification. India will take on the second-ranked Group B team in the semi-final on December 19.
