Our view
Pakistan U19 completely dominated this match, and the biggest reason was the way Usman Khan Jr. and Jahangir Bilal handled the chase. After restricting UAE U19 to 224 runs, Pakistan needed a good start, and both batters delivered exactly that. Usman played a brilliant unbeaten knock of 139 off 120 balls, while Jahangir scored 60 and kept the scoreboard moving. Their 153-run partnership made the chase look much easier than expected.
UAE U19 did manage to pick up a wicket, but by then Pakistan were already in a very strong position. Noorullah Ayobi's 70 off 55 balls helped UAE reach a respectable total, but the team needed more runs to put real pressure on Pakistan. In the end, Pakistan's batting was simply too strong, and finishing the chase with just one wicket down showed how comfortably they controlled the match.
Top performers
- Usman Khan Jr. — 139 (120 balls)
