India Under-19 beat Pakistan Under-19 by one wicket off the very last ball in Al Amerat, Oman, on Saturday to win the ACC Men's Under-19 Asia Cup 2026, chasing down 338 in a final that swung until the final delivery, according to match reports from Cricfrenzy and A Sports and the Cricbuzz scorecard.

Pakistan, put in to bat after captain Farhan Yousaf chose to bat first, posted 337 for nine in 50 overs. Opener Usman Khan anchored the innings with 107 off 111 balls, hitting 11 fours and three sixes, Abdul Qadir smashed 80 off just 54 balls with eight sixes, and Farhan added 63 off 60 balls. Pakistan were well placed at 305 for four before losing five wickets for 32 runs in the closing overs.

For India, Kavya Paresh Patel was the most successful bowler with four wickets, while Chigurupati Venkata claimed three, as India fought back strongly at the death to keep the target within reach.

Chase goes to the last ball

India's chase began with a 95-run opening stand between captain Lakshya Raichandani and Aaryavir Sehwag. Sehwag made 58 off 61 balls and Raichandani held the innings together with 80 off 101 deliveries, but Pakistan struck back with regular wickets and India slipped to 252 for eight.

Manal Chauhan counter-attacked with 47 off 32 balls, sharing a 57-run ninth-wicket partnership with Mohit Ulva. After Chauhan fell, Ulva took charge, finishing unbeaten on 49 off only 26 balls, and with eight runs needed off the final over he struck a boundary off the last delivery, with number eleven Venkata unbeaten on 11 at the other end, to complete the chase at 339 for nine.

Rizwanullah took three wickets for 53 runs for Pakistan and Niqab Shafiq picked up two, but India's lower order held its nerve to deny Pakistan. Inshorts reported the win gave India a record-extending ninth Under-19 Asia Cup title.
