India on Saturday secured a one-wicket win over Pakistan in the Under-19 Asia Cup 2026 Final at the Al Amerat Cricket Ground in Muscat.
India's Mohit Ulva played a major role in chasing down 338 runs down to the last ball to finish the tight game in style, despite Manal Chauhan's dismissal by Pakistani pacer Niqab Shafiq after a catch by Usman Khan.
With this, India has taken the trophy for the first time since 2021, when they won against Sri Lanka by nine wickets. Bangladesh had defeated India in the semi-finals in 2023 and in the finals in 2024, after which the next year followed with a painful defeat at the hands of Pakistan, which had won with 191 runs.
