Mohit Ulva Finishes India’s Last-Ball Chase
India suffered a major batting collapse after moving from 95/1 to 217/6. Manal Chauhan then scored 47 off just 32 balls, hitting three fours and three sixes.
His dismissal at 309/9 left India needing 29 runs. However, Mohit Ulva kept his cool and guided India to victory with a last-ball boundary.
Pakistan’s slow over-rate also proved costly, as the team had to keep an additional fielder inside the circle during the closing overs.
India Complete U19 Asia Cup Double
With this victory, India won the men’s Under-19 Asia Cup 2026 title. India’s women’s team had also won the tournament, giving the country both Under-19 Asia Cup trophies.
