India faltered against the big-hitting Sameer Minhas and the extra zip of pacers, suffering a massive 191-run defeat against Pakistan in a one-sided 50-over Under-19 Asia Cup final, here on Sunday.
Pakistan lifted their second U-19 Asia Cup, and there was no formal greetings between the players of two teams.
Once Pakistan posted a mammoth 347-8, riding on Minhas’s 172 (113b, 17×4, 9×6), India needed a lion-hearted chase to clinch a ninth title in the tournament.
But the tall Pakistan pace troika — Ali Raza (4-42), Mohammad Sayyam (2-38) and Abdul Subhan (2-29) — hurried their top-order with consistent hard-lengths as India folded for 156 in 26.2 overs.
India skipper Ayush Mhatre said: “There were some inconsistencies in the line of the bowling. It was a simple plan to play the 50 overs. The boys really played well and tournament was good for us.”
