IND U19 vs PAK U19 Final में भारत को 348 रन का लक्ष्य मिला। वैभव सूर्यवंशी ने तेज शुरुआत की, लेकिन 10 गेंदों में 26 रन बनाकर आउट हो गए। शुरुआती विकेट गिरने से भारतीय टीम दबाव में आ गई।
IND U19 vs PAK U19 Final: The ACC Men's Under 19 Asia Cup 2025 final was a particularly special match for cricket fans. India Under 19 and Pakistan Under 19 teams faced each other at the ICC Academy Ground in Dubai. This match was not just about a trophy, but also about the prestige of two long-standing rivals. However, the Indian team's start in a big match like the final was not as expected, and the top order appeared completely under pressure.
फाइनल में भारत को मिला 348 रन का विशाल लक्ष्य
The Pakistan Under 19 team set a big target of 348 runs for India while batting first. Such a large target in a final match is not easy for any team, especially when facing a b bowling unit like Pakistan's. When the Indian team came out to chase this target, the pressure was clearly visible in the early overs.
Within the first five overs, the Indian team lost three crucial wickets. Runs came quickly on the scoreboard, but the fall of wickets weakened the team's position.
वैभव सूर्यवंशी से थी बड़ी उम्मीद, लेकिन फाइनल में चूके
India Under 19 star batsman Vaibhav Suryavanshi was expected to play a big innings in the final. He had performed brilliantly throughout the tournament and had put the team in a b position on many occasions. But his bat could not last long in a big match like the final.
Vaibhav started aggressively. He played big shots as soon as he came to the crease and tried to put pressure on the Pakistani bowlers. Vaibhav Suryavanshi scored 26 runs off just 10 balls. This short but aggressive innings included 1 four and 3 excellent sixes. For a while, it seemed like he could turn the match around.
गलत शॉट बना आउट होने की वजह
However, this very attempt at aggressive play also became the reason for his dismissal. The Pakistan captain handed the ball back to Ali Raza in the fifth over. Ali Raza succeeded in trapping Vaibhav on the very first ball of the over.
A short-length ball came in at an angle. Vaibhav tried to play a big shot by lifting it in the air, but the outer edge of the bat got a touch. Hamza Jahoor, behind the wicket, took a brilliant catch over his head. As soon as the catch was completed, the Pakistani players celebrated enthusiastically.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi's dismissal in this manner in a big match like the final proved to be a major setback for the Indian team.
कप्तान आयुष और एरोज जॉर्ज भी नहीं टिक सके
The story of India's poor start was not limited to Vaibhav. Captain Ayush Mhatre's bat also remained silent in the final. He was trapped by Ali Raza in the third over. Ayush returned to the pavilion after scoring just 2 runs off 7 balls. The captain's early dismissal clearly affected the team's morale.
Aaroz George, who came to bat at number three, played some attractive shots. He tried to score boundaries consistently, but haste proved detrimental to him. Aaroz was caught out for 16 runs off 9 balls. His innings included four boundaries, but he could not take on the big responsibility.
पांच ओवर में तीन विकेट, भारत दबाव में
When the Indian team lost three wickets in just five overs, chasing the target became even more difficult. A b start is very important to achieve such a big target in a final match, which India did not get.
The early dismissal of batsmen like Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Ayush Mhatre, and Aaroz George went in favor of Pakistan. Pakistani bowlers bowled with accurate line and length in the early overs and forced Indian batsmen to play wrong shots.
टूर्नामेंट में वैभव सूर्यवंशी का कुल प्रदर्शन
