The Under-19 Asia Cup final between India and Pakistan saw emotions run high as the Indians held their nerves to win the game by one wicket. Mohit Ulva hit a boundary on the final ball of the game, with the Boys in Blue needing three runs to win.

Indian fans trolled the Pakistan supporters with a viral YouTube clip of Tanvir Ahmed.

In that short video, the former Pakistani seamer can be seen saying, “I am done with the embarrassment? This was meant to happen with the way our team played. Leave that aside and stop saying that our cricket is better than India. I am saying this now. We are zero compared to them, and our system doesn’t compare to theirs. Our cricket board has destroyed the system.”

PAK U19 batted first and posted 337 runs on the board for the loss of nine wickets from their 50 overs.

Opener Usman Khan led the charge with 107 runs from 111 balls with the help of eleven boundaries and three sixes.

Pakistan’s number three batter Abdul Qadir did well to score 80 runs off just 54 balls with three boundaries and eight sixes. Khan and Qadir added 135 runs in 113 balls for the second wicket.

Captain Farhan Yousaf kept the scoreboard ticking with his 63 off 60 balls as the Pakistani batters put India under pressure.

India then came back into the game with a few quick wickets and ensured the opposition didn’t go past 350 runs.

Seamer Kavya Patel bowled well to claim four wickets from his ten overs for 68 runs. Venkata also claimed three wickets.

Aaryavir Sehwag named Player of the Tournament

Former Indian legend Virender Sehwag’s son Aaryavir Sehwag was named Player of the Tournament for his 361 runs with the bat.

The youngster battled pain in his hands in the final to score 58 runs.

Speaking after the game, he said, “The wicket was good to bat on, and the discussion was that if we bat normally, we can chase down this target. The idea was to play regular shots, and we can get the score. We also talked during the team meeting about how we can chase down more than 100 runs in the final ten overs of the innings. Laksya batted deep, so hats off to him.”

When asked about the pain during his batting, the youngster said, “Not feeling any pain now.

I am just feeling happy.”

Indian skipper Lakshya Raichandani opined on the success. “We were optimistic and never stopped believing. We also knew that we could chase down the score since the wicket was good. We always had the belief that the lower order could contribute, so there wasn’t any surprise there.”

Pakistani captain Yousaf lauded the Indian. “I feel we had a good total on the board, but India batted really well and played excellent cricket. The boys did well, but the bowling was a bit wayward, which is why we lost the game.”
