India Edge Pakistan by One Wicket to Win U-19 Asia Cup
Cricket·November 15, 2026
India won the Under-19 Asia Cup final by one wicket against Pakistan in a tense finish that went down to the last ball. Pakistan's total of 337 set a demanding target, and India had to keep their nerve as the pressure built with every over of the chase.
The decisive moment belonged to Mohit Ulva. He scored 49 runs under pressure and, with the match still in the balance, hit the winning boundary off the final delivery. His innings was the standout contribution, but the chase was a team effort. His partnership with Chigurupati Venkata helped steady the innings at the moments that mattered most.
The victory gives India their ninth U-19 Asia Cup title, another sign of how consistently the country develops young talent at this level. For Pakistan, the defeat will be hard to take. They built a huge total and still left the final tied to a single ball, with little margin for error on either side.
Footage of the closing shot is already the clip fans are replaying, and it is easy to see why. A total of 337 in a youth final is not often chased down, and India did it with one wicket and one ball to spare.
