Delhi: In the final of Under-19 Asia Cup 2025, Pakistan defeated India and won the title. On the basis of the century innings of Sameer Minhas and the excellent performance of the bowlers led by Ali Raza, Pakistan defeated Team India by 191 runs.
Pakistan’s dominance in the final
After winning the toss, the Indian Under-19 team decided to bowl first, but this strategy backfired. Pakistan scored a huge score of 347 runs at the loss of 8 wickets in the stipulated 50 overs. Minhas batted brilliantly and scored a century and put complete pressure on the Indian bowlers.
Indian innings completely disintegrated
The Indian team, which came to chase the target of 347 runs, never looked in rhythm. Pakistan bowlers bowled brilliantly with accurate line-length and the entire Indian team was limited to 156 runs.
Sameer Minhas became hero
Sameer Minhas, who scored a brilliant century in the final, was chosen as the player of the match. Apart from this, he was also given the Player of the Series award for his excellent performance in the entire tournament. Ali Raza played an important role in bowling and did not give the Indian batsmen a chance to play freely.
Discussion on prize money also
After winning the Under-19 Asia Cup title, Pakistan cricket team received 15,000 US dollars as prize money, which is approximately Rs 13.43 lakh in Indian currency. A total of 15 players were included in Pakistan’s squad and the support staff was also present. In such a situation, if the amount is divided, then the share of players and staff comes to less than Rs 1 lakh per person, which is generally considered much less as compared to the prize money of big tournaments.
