How Usman Khan and Abdul Qadir built Pakistan’s total
Pakistan’s brisk start included a 62-run opening stand between Usman Khan and Hayam Khan. Usman then combined with Abdul Qadir for a pivotal 135-run partnership. Qadir’s 80 came from 54 deliveries, including eight sixes, putting pressure on India’s attack during the middle overs. Usman continued to anchor the innings, scoring 107 from 111 balls with 11 fours and three sixes.
Qadir was dismissed with the score on 197 in the 27th over. Usman departed at 240/3 in the 37th over, but the runs already on the board gave Pakistan room to attack the closing stages. Contemporary reporting by PTI, carried by Telangana Today, confirms the 337/9 total and the two major batting contributions.
India’s bowlers kept Pakistan below 350
India’s bowlers recovered in the final ten overs after Pakistan had reached 274/3 by the 40-over mark. Kavya Patel returned 4/68, and Chigurupati Venkata took 3/40. Pakistan added 63 runs in the last ten overs but lost six wickets, which mattered after a powerful start had put 350 within reach. India’s chase nevertheless required sustained scoring at nearly 6.8 runs an over from the beginning.
Is the India vs Pakistan U19 final over?
No result was confirmed at the time of this report. Pakistan’s innings had ended at 337/9, and India’s chase was underway. Live cricket scores can change ball by ball; readers looking for India’s current score, wickets, remaining overs or the eventual result should consult the official BCCI score and match details. This report focuses on the completed Pakistan innings rather than presenting a potentially outdated live score as current.
Why this final matters for both teams
The two sides arrived in the final after contrasting semifinal wins. India beat Afghanistan Under-19 by eight wickets, and Pakistan defeated Bangladesh Under-19 by nine wickets. Pakistan had also won their group-stage meeting with India on 8 November by three wickets, giving this final an immediate rematch narrative. Both teams therefore entered the title game with momentum, though a strong first innings is not the same as a confirmed win.
