In the ACC Men's U19 Asia Cup 2026 final at Al Amerat Cricket Ground in Oman on November 14, Pakistan U19 won the toss and opted to bat first against India U19. The continental title was at stake, making the encounter a high-voltage clash. India, captained by Lakshya Raichandani, aimed to overcome their rivals and secure the trophy.

Pakistan, led by captain Farhan Yousaf, sought to clinch another title victory. The match held particular significance for India, who had lost to Pakistan during the group stage of the tournament. India entered the final after a comprehensive eight-wicket win over Afghanistan in the semi-final, with skipper Lakshya Raichandani scoring an unbeaten 93.

Pakistan, the defending champions, had won their semi-final against Bangladesh by nine wickets, with their unbeaten run in the tournament giving them added confidence.
