New Delhi: Sunday is set to be another memorable day for cricket fans. India and Pakistan will face off in the final of the Under-19 Asia Cup 2025. This match, scheduled for December 21, is not just a battle for the title but also a new chapter in a long-standing rivalry. Both teams are in excellent form, and the atmosphere leading up to the final is electric.
India’s Dominant Run
Under the captaincy of Ayush Mhatre, the Indian Under-19 team has dominated the tournament. In Group A, India won all their matches to finish at the top of the table, including a resounding 90-run victory over Pakistan in the group stage. India also comfortably defeated Sri Lanka in the semi-final to secure their place in the final. The team has looked well balanced in both batting and bowling departments.
Pakistan’s Challenge
Pakistan has also performed strongly in the tournament. After the group stage, they defeated Bangladesh in the semi-final to reach the final. However, their previous loss against India could serve as a warning. They will be looking to avenge that defeat in the final, making the match even more exciting.
Eyes on Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Abhigyan Kundu
Indian fans will have high hopes for their young stars in the final. Vaibhav Suryavanshi proved his mettle with an explosive innings of 171 runs off 95 balls against the UAE. Meanwhile, wicketkeeper-batsman Abhigyan Kundu made history by scoring an unbeaten 209 runs against Malaysia. This duo could pose the biggest threat to the Pakistani bowlers.
