Also praises Shahzaib Khan inning and he feels like the start of their openers was key as they had major control of the game in the first inning.

He ends up saying that there are some positive side, as well as the lower-order batters, played exceptionally well, especially Mohammed Enaan, and he is also confident enough to bounce back in the tournament.
The presentation ceremony…
For Pakistan Under-19, Ali Raza was the pick of the bowlers with 3/36 in his spell while Abdul Subhan and Faham-ul-Haq chipped in with a couple. Earlier today, Pakistan Under-19 batted first and posted a solid 281 on the back of an excellent 159 from Shahzaib Khan while Usman Khan with 60 played his part nicely at the top. Samarth Nagaraj, Yudhajit Guha, and Ayush Mhatre were the pick of India Under-19 bowlers. The boys in blue will look to get over this game and start afresh going forward while Pakistan Under-19 will take a lot of confidence with this huge win.
A clinical all-around effort from Pakistan Under-19 helps them defeat India Uner-19 by 43 runs to start their competition on a high. Chasing 282 for the win, India Under-19 did not have the best of starts as both openers were dismissed in the first five overs. Andre Siddharth and Mohammed Amaan got decent starts but failed to kick on and so did Kiran Chormale and Harvansh Pangalia. Nikhil Kumar with 67 off 77 fought a lone battle but ran out of partners as India Under-19 succumbed under pressure. Mohammed Enaan and Yudhajit Guha swung their bats but it was all too late for India Under-19.
- 47.1Abdul Subhan to Yudhajit Guha
OUT! RUN OUT! A bit of mishap at the striker’s end but Saad Baig does well to rectify his mistake! Abdul Subhan bowls fuller on middle and leg. Yudhajit Guha flicks it towards square leg and decides to take the second run. Mohammed Enaan is out from his striker’s end for the second run but Guha rejects the call a bit late. Enaan is halfway through the pitch. Farhan Yousaf in the square leg region is rapid enough to pick the delivery and has a shy at the striker’s end. Saad Baig fails to collect the ball and thumps the stump, but he reacts super quick to pick the ball up again and plucks the stump off the roots. The big screen turns out as ‘OUT’ in red. Pakistan Under-19 beat India Under-19 by 43 runs!
