Aaron Joseph carried on his sublime for with a 58 not-out
India rolled past Sri Lanka by 8 wickets in the semi-finals of the ACC U19 Asia Cup at the ICC Academy Ground on December 19, 2025. They will now lock horns with arch-rivals Pakistan in the final on Sunday, December 21, 2025.
What was scheduled to be a One-Day got converted into a T20 match due to rain. India won the toss and invited Sri Lanka to bat first. The Indian bowlers put on a disciplined show with the ball and restricted SL to just 138/7 in 20 overs.
Chamika Heenatigala was the highest scorer for Sri Lanka while Henil Patel and Kanishq Chouhan chipped in with 2 wickets each for India.
In response to a modest chase of 139 runs, India got off to a shaky start losing both openers cheaply. However, the in-form, Aaron George (58) and Vihaan Malhotra (61) put up a match-winning 3rd wicket stand of 114 runs to take India over the line into the final.
