India Defeats Afghanistan to Reach U19 Asia Cup Final Against PakistanPreviousNext

India's Under-19 cricket team defeated Afghanistan by eight wickets in the Asia Cup semifinal at Al Amerat, Oman, securing a place in the final against Pakistan. Afghanistan posted 227 runs, with India's bowling restricting their total. India chased the target comfortably, led by captain Lakshya Raichandani's unbeaten 93 and contributions from Aaryavir Sehwag and VK Vineeth. The final, set for November 14, promises a competitive rematch following Pakistan's earlier group-stage win over India.
