India won the toss and elected to bat first against Pakistan in their Group A clash of the ACC Men’s U19 Asia Cup 2026 at the Al Amerat Cricket Ground (Ministry Turf 2) in Muscat on Sunday.
Both teams head into the match on the back of opening-game victories, with Pakistan defeating the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the opposition securing a win over Nepal.
In their opening game, Pakistan’s Usman Khan helped the defending champions cruise to a nine-wicket victory over the UAE at the same venue on Friday.
Pakistan comfortably chased down the 225-run target, losing just one wicket in 37.3 overs, courtesy of a match-winning century from opener Usman Khan and a valuable half-century from Jahangir Bilal, ensuring a winning start to their title defence.
This is a developing story and is being updated with further details.
