India vs Pakistan LIVE Score Under-19 Asia Cup Final: Pakistan posted 337/9 in their 50 overs after being put in to bat in the U19 Asia Cup final. Opener Usman Khan led the way with a fine 107 off 111 balls, his second century of the tournament, while Farhan Yousaf chipped in with 63 off 60 deliveries. The two put India under pressure with a strong partnership and took Pakistan close to the 350-run mark. However, Chigurupati Venkata picked up three quick wickets to halt their charge, before Kavya Patel struck twice in the final over. India managed to pull things back after a strong start from Pakistan.
Aaryaveer was superb today
As long as he was there, India looked good. After he perished for 58, things changed. While the match is not over yet, it's definitely a Herculean task now. Another wicket goes just as we wrote that. It's Yashbardhan who scores 9 off five balls.
Arjun Rajput perishes
Edges Rizwanullah through to the keeper as he looks to go aerial on the offside. He goes for 16 off 18 balls. India 172/3 after 31 overs. Second wicket for the pacer. He has been very impressive in the most important match of the tournament.
Another pull for six
Second six for Arjun Rajput. Pulls Seyam for a big six, off the penultimate ball of the over. India's hopes get up a bit. Lakshya needs to do the same at the other end, it's not one person's job anymore. India 167/2 in 30 overs
Nightmarish start for Arjun
Believe it or not, Arjun Rajput, centurion in the previous India-Pakistan game in the tournament, takes nine balls to open his account. Hard to believe. But then, he does it in style, pulls Rizwanullah for a six. Some comeback. Another dot for him. India 157/2 after 29 overs.
Pressure gets to Vineeth
Tries to go for a big shot. The ball from Rizwanullah gets big on him a bit and he is caught on the leg side inside the circle. He goes for 24 off 21 balls. India 146/2 after 26.3 overs. Now comes in Arjun Rajput who had scored a ton in the previous game between these two sides, earlier in the tournament.
Fifty for Lakshya
Off 71 balls though! As we said before, he needs to increase his scoring rate. At 133/1 after 25 overs, India's chances don't look great at present. They really have to play out of their skin to cross the line from here.
Required run rate going up
It's around 8 now. Lakshya needs to up the ante. He has played more than 60 balls with just 40-odd runs to show for his efforts. India are falling behind in the chase. Vineeth is new, he will need some time before he can be expected to go big. India 122/1 in 22.5 overs.
India lose first wicket
Aaryavir looks to go big against spinner Niqab but is caught at long-on. India lose their first wicket. Aaryavir departs for 58. India 95/1 in 17.4 overs. Big blow to the Indian team and their chances. He was looking impenetrable, if truth be told.
Ajay Jadeja is impressed too
The former India batter appears short of words. Just used the adjective “phenomenal” when he could have written so much more. So impressed he is!
Brilliant stuff from Aaryavir
Two fantastic fours from him. First cut past backward point for four. Then another four on the legside via a half pull. He reaches his fifty off the penultimate ball of the over, takes 51 balls to get there. What a tournament he is having. India 80/0 after 15 overs.
Aaryavir is a mirror image of his father
Some of the shots he has played puts one in mind of the great Virender Sehwag. Like father, like son! He just hit a powerful shot straight back off Seyam for four. It will be interesting to see how far he goes in his career. The kid has some serious talent, make no mistake. India 61/0 after 12 overs.
50-run stand
Since our last post, two boundaries have come for India, one each from Aaryavir and Lakshya. However, Aaryavir continues to struggle with his arm injury. India 51/0 after 9 overs. Pakistan at this stage were 78/1. So, India are fairly behind at present.
India need to up the ante at some point
Aaryavir and Lakshya are looking comfortable out there but they need to score at a faster rate. The target is too big! As of now, the strategy appears to be taking it deep. The Pakistani pacers have bowled a tight line so far. India 41/0 after 8 overs.
Aaryavir again getting some medical attention. One really hopes it's not too serious. He played a lofted shot on the offside for four off the last ball of the eighth over and that may have aggravated it.
Aaryavir hurt
A worrying moment for India as Aaryavir Sehwag is struck on his right elbow by a sharp delivery from Ali Raza. The ball nips back in with pace and bounce, beats his inside edge and hits him on the elbow. Sehwag immediately takes his bottom hand off the bat and looks in pain.
IND 18/0 in 4 overs
Just two runs from the over. Sehwag gets one with a punch behind square, while Lakshya Raichandani chops another towards backward point. Sayyam is getting good bounce and movement, keeping both openers quiet. India are 18/0 after four overs.
Sehwag hits four
Aaryavir Sehwag gets India's first boundary of the chase with a lovely drive through cover-point. Mohammad Sayyam offers width and Sehwag leans into the shot to find the gap. He had also picked up two runs earlier in the over with an aerial drive over mid-off. A positive over for India after a watchful start. IND 9/0 in 2 overs
IND openers cautious
India are off the mark in the chase of 338, managing two runs from the opening over. Ali Raza gets some movement away from the right-hander and keeps Lakshya Raichandani and Aaryavir Sehwag watchful. Lakshya gets a streaky single off an inside edge down to fine leg, while Aaryavir also picks up a run. Pakistan have two slips in place and are looking to make early inroads. IND 2/0 in 1 over
Chase begins
Aaryavir Sehwag and Lakshya Rajesh Raichandani are in the middle to start the chase for India. Ali Raza has the ball in hand to start the proceedings.
PAK 337/9 in 50 overs
Pakistan finish their innings at 337/9 after losing two more wickets in the final over. Kavya Patel knocks over Niqab Shafiq with a pinpoint yorker before Mohammad Sayyam is run out trying to steal a bye, with Anvay Dravid quick to the stumps. Rizwanullah manages a boundary in between, but India keep Pakistan from making the most of the final over. A strong recovery from India after Pakistan looked set for a much bigger total, with Kavya finishing with four wickets. PAK 337/9 in 50 overs
Tidy penultimate over
A tidy penultimate over from Chigurupati Venkata, who gives away just five runs apart from a wide. His slower deliveries keep the batters guessing, with Niqab Shafiq unable to find the boundary despite facing four balls in the over. India have done well to keep Pakistan quiet in the closing overs after Venkata's earlier burst of wickets. PAK 330/7 in 49 overs
Pakistan seven down
Kavya Patel adds to Pakistan's troubles as Hamza Zahoor departs for 10. The batter looks to clear the infield with a lofted shot off a pitched-up delivery but fails to get enough distance, Pakistan have now lost another wicket after Venkata's burst, and India continue to chip away at the lower order. PAK 317/7 in 47.2 overs
Venkata on fire with third strike
Chigurupati Venkata is making a big impact with the ball, picking up his third wicket in quick succession. Hasnain Abbas Dar is the latest to depart, caught by Yashbardhan Chauhan for just 2. Venkata has now struck in back-to-back overs, putting Pakistan under further pressure.
Venkata strikes again
Chigurupati Venkata strikes twice in the same over to turn things around for India. After removing Ahmed Hussain, he now gets the big wicket of Farhan Yousaf, who departs for 63 off 60 balls. The slower delivery does the trick again as Farhan goes for a slog but gets too much height and not enough distance. Aryan Savsani settles under it at deep mid-wicket to complete the catch. A timely double strike for India, with Pakistan losing two set batters in quick succession. PAK 305/5 in 45 overs
Hussain falls
Chigurupati Venkata provides India with another breakthrough as Ahmed Hussain departs for 17. The batter goes after a full delivery outside off but fails to get enough power behind the lofted shot, picking out Aaryavir Sehwag at mid-off. Sehwag makes no mistake with the catch, giving India a timely wicket just as Pakistan were looking to push towards 350. PAK 299/4 in 44.1 overs
Farhan Yousaf hits fifty
Farhan Yousaf brings up a well-made half-century with a quick single off Arjun Rajput. He raises his bat to acknowledge the applause from his teammates before marking the milestone with a look towards the sky. He then caps the over with a massive six over long-on. Farhan has taken charge of the innings and is keeping Pakistan's scoring rate high.
