India Enter U-19 Asia Cup Final after Beating Sri Lanka


India secured a place in the Under-19 Asia Cup final with an emphatic eight-wicket victory over Sri Lanka in the rain-hit semi-final in Dubai. The match was reduced to 20 overs per side after a delayed start due to rain.

After winning the toss, India opted to bowl and restricted Sri Lanka to 138 for 8. In reply, India chased down the target in 18 overs, losing only two wickets. Despite early losses of Ayush Mhatre and Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Vihaan Malhotra and Aaron George guided the chase with unbeaten half-centuries.

India will face Pakistan in the final on Sunday after Pakistan defeated defending champions Bangladesh by eight wickets in the other semi-final.
