India beat Sri Lanka by eight wickets in first semi-final
Pakistan got the better of defending champs Bangladesh in other semi
Teams facing off in Under-19 Asia Cup final after 11-year gap
India take on Pakistan in a mouth-watering final of the ACC Under-19 Asia Cup 2025 at the ICC Academy Ground in Dubai on Sunday (December 21). Watch the IND vs PAK cricket match live.
India qualified for the last-four stage with one match to spare, and beat Sri Lanka comprehensively in the semis to book their final ticket. The Blue Colts will make their eighth appearance in the summit clash of the continental showpiece.
Their opponents Pakistan defeated defending champions Bangladesh by eight wickets in a truncated 27-over affair in the other semi-final. The arch-rival neighbours will lock horns in the continental final after a gap of 11 years. The last time India U-19 beat Pakistan in the Asia Cup final in 2014, the team comprised of Shreyas Iyer, Sarfaraz Khan, Sanju Samson and Kuldeep Yadav, among others.
The two teams faced off in the group stage earlier, where India thrashed Pakistan by a handsome 90-run margin. While the semi-finals were both affected by rain, the weather forecast for the final is more encouraging. A mostly sunny day is expected in Dubai with clear skies and a precipitation probability of just 2 per cent.
As for the pitch, the surface at the ICC Academy Ground has not aided run-scoring in the manner that the one at the Sevens Stadium has. It could be a battle of India's batting firepower, studded by teenage prodigy Vaibhav Suryavanshi, against Pakistan’s pace-heavy bowling attack.
