India’s 14-year-old batting sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi had a disappointing innings in the U19 Asia Cup final against Pakistan in Dubai on Sunday. Chasing a huge total of 348, Suryavanshi started aggressively, scoring 24 runs off his first nine balls. But he got out when he edged a short delivery from pacer Ali Raza to the wicketkeeper while trying to hit it away from his body. His wicket left India struggling at 49 for 3 in the tough chase at the ICC Academy Ground in Dubai.

As Suryavanshi walked back to the dressing room, Raza celebrated his wicket angrily. Suryavanshi got upset and replied by talking to Raza and the other Pakistan players. He was also seen making gestures, including pointing at his shoe.

Earlier in the match, Sameer Minhas once again showed his exceptional talent by scoring a brilliant century, his second of the tournament, as Pakistan posted a massive 347 for 8. Minhas, one of Pakistan’s key players in the event, scored 172 off just 113 balls, leading his team after they had lost the group match to India by 90 runs at the same venue.

Pakistan, coming into the final after a strong eight-wicket win over last edition’s champions Bangladesh in the semifinals, did not allow India, who chose to bowl first, to get comfortable.

Minhas, younger brother of Pakistan T20 player Arafat Minhas, who scored an unbeaten half-century in the semifinal, attacked all the bowlers but was especially tough on the new-ball bowlers Kishan Singh and Deepesh Devendran.

His innings included 17 boundaries and nine sixes, with his century coming off 71 balls when he hit a four in the 29th over off Devendran. This was Minhas’ second hundred of the tournament, after an unbeaten 177 against Malaysia in the opening group match.
