U19 Asia Cup: Minhas Hits Blistering 172 As Pakistan Win Title After Beating India By 191 Runs
ICC Academy Ground: Sameer Minhas smashed a blistering 113-ball 172 and powered Pakistan to a thumping 191-run win over an out-of-sorts India to clinch the U19 Men’s Asia Cup title at the ICC Academy Ground on Sunday.
It also meant that India, which had an unbeaten campaign so far, suffered their heaviest defeat in terms of runs in Youth ODIs. Pakistan, meanwhile, has grabbed the U19 Men’s Asia Cup trophy for the first time, having shared the 2012 edition title with India, where the final ended in a tie.
Asked to bat first on a pitch that aided great strokeplay, Pakistan were clinical in their approach to post an imposing 347/8, with Minhas, one of the standout batters in the competition, leading the charge in commanding fashion by hitting 17 fours and nine sixes.
