Pakistan Bowlers Dominate India in U19 Asia Cup Final
During India’s chase in the U19 Asia Cup Final, the batting lineup collapsed under the pace of Ali Raza, Mohammad Sayyam, and Abdul Subhan, who shared eight wickets to bowl India out for 156. Cameras captured a smiling Naqvi in the stands as India struggled, already nine down.
After the U19 Asia Cup Final, Naqvi joined the victorious Pakistan team for a celebratory lap and acknowledged fans near the boundary, enjoying the emphatic win.
This U19 Asia Cup Final victory comes after a tense September, when India defeated Pakistan in the senior men’s Asia Cup final in Dubai, an event marked by geopolitical tension. The Indian team had declined to participate in the trophy handover, leaving the trophy at ACC headquarters.
Earlier, in November 2025, Naqvi had also celebrated Pakistan’s Rising Stars Asia Cup triumph in Doha, presenting the trophy to the Shaheens after a thrilling Super Over win against Bangladesh A, continuing his presence at key Asia Cup finals events.
