India beat Pakistan to lift U-19 Asia Cup

Sharjah: Identical centuries from skipper Vijay Zol and Sanju Samson helped India lift the U-19 Asia Cup cricket title with a 40-run win over arch-rivals Pakistan in the final at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium here


Aamir Gani managed to break the dangerous partnership by dismissing Aslam, who struck 10 boundaries in 96-ball innings. Ghulam, however, showed a lot of character as he continued to play aggressively, scoring at better than a run-a-ball. But unfortunately for him, he kept running out of partners at the other end and it was a matter of time before Pakistan fell short by a huge margin.

Kuldeep Yadav was the pick of the Indian bowlers with figures of three for 72, while Deepak Hooda (2/37), Gani (2/39) and Chama Milind (2/44) claimed two wickets each.
