India and Pakistan share ACC U19 event after dramatic tie

India U19 and Pakistan U19 shared the ACC U19 Asia Cup after a dramatic tied game in the final.

Pakistan opener Sami Aslam hit a brilliant century to help his side reach 282-9 off 50 overs, smashing 134 from 14 balls, including 13 fours and three sixes.

Opening bowler Rush Kalaria was the undoubted star of the India attack, as he claimed 5-37.

In reply, India looked brilliantly placed at 195-1, following a fantastic partnership between Unmukt Chand (121) and Baba Aparajith (90), but then suffered a dramatic collapse.

India needed just seven to win off the final over, but the dismissal of Chand with two balls remaining helped Pakistan secure a dramatic tie.

Both sides will now be feeling confident ahead of the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup which begins in August.
