Pak beat India by two wkts in U-19 Asia Cup

Pakistan chased down a challenging 251 with just three balls to spare and registered their third straight win of the tournament. Riding on Ricky Bhui’s quick-fire half-century, India scored 250 for seven off their quota of 50 overs after electing to bat at Dubai International Cricket Stadium. India got off to a solid start with openers Ankush Bains (41) and Akhil Herwadkar (31) putting on 74 runs in 13.3 overs for the opening wicket. However, Pakistan leg-spinner Karamat Ali brought his side back into the match as he removed the top three batsmen, including skipper Vijay Zol (20) to reduce India to 116 for three.

In reply, left-handed Aslam led from the front as he smacked Indian bowlers to all parts of the ground. Aslam’s 119-ball knock included 11 fours and a six.
