In a thrilling U19 Asia Cup encounter, Pakistan delivered a three-wicket triumph over India, thanks to a stellar century from Hamza Zahoor. Chasing 209 runs, Pakistan reached 212-7 in their 48.1 overs, overcoming a challenging position of 65-5. Zahoor, who remained unbeaten on 100 off 108 balls, displayed remarkable skill with 10 boundaries and three sixes.
Pakistan's chase began poorly, as Jahangir Bilal was dismissed for five in the third over. Pakistan's fortunes improved after Usman Khan's early exit and Abdul Qadir's departure, leaving the team at 55-3. The team's fortunes improved further when Zahoor and Hasnain Abbas Dar put on a remarkable 107-run partnership, reviving Pakistan's chase.
Despite several early wickets, including captain Farhan Yousaf's dismissal for two, Pakistan's determination prevailed, with Zahoor and Abbas Dar guiding the team to victory.
