Our view

India Under-19s set up their 70-run victory with a dominant batting display, led by Aaryavir Sehwag's unbeaten 160 off 168 balls. His 309-run unbroken partnership with Lakshya Rajesh Raichandani gave India a strong platform and ensured they finished on 309 without losing a wicket. Sehwag's century and VK Vineeth's 67 added further strength to the innings. The scoring picked up during the middle and death overs, with India making the most of the UAE bowling attack and putting a challenging target on the board.

UAE Under-19s showed some resistance through Ahmed Khudada, who scored 74, and his 90-run partnership with Noorullah Ayobi brought them back into contention for a while. However, regular wickets prevented the chase from gaining momentum. Ishan Sood's 4/37 proved decisive, especially when he dismissed Ayobi and helped trigger a late collapse. UAE lost their final three wickets for just eight runs, going from 231/7 to 239 all out. India's strong batting foundation and timely breakthroughs with the ball ultimately made the difference.
