India Under-19 delivered a commanding all-round performance to defeat United Arab Emirates Under-19 by 70 runs in Match 11 of the DP World Men’s U19 Asia Cup 2026/27 at Al Amerat Cricket Ground Turf 2 on Tuesday. India posted an imposing 309/7 before bundling out UAE for 239 in their allotted 50 overs.
After setting a challenging target of 310, the young Indian side maintained pressure throughout the UAE chase with disciplined bowling and timely breakthroughs. UAE fought hard through several useful partnerships but failed to keep pace with the required run rate.
For UAE, Ahmed Khudadad emerged as the standout performer, scoring a resilient 74 off 74 balls. Noorullah Ayobi provided late momentum with a brisk 39 from just 25 deliveries, while Yayin Rai and Ayaan Misbah chipped in with 29 and 27 respectively. Despite their efforts, the UAE innings fell short as wickets at key moments halted any hopes of a comeback.
India’s bowling attack was spearheaded by Ishan Sood, who produced a match-winning spell of 4/37. He received excellent support from Mohit Ulva, Manal Chauhan, Kavya Patel, Yashbardhan Chauhan, Aryan Savsani and Arjun Rajput, all of whom contributed with a wicket each to keep UAE under constant pressure.
The victory underlined India’s strength in both departments and boosted their campaign in the prestigious continental tournament. Having amassed 309 runs and defended the total comfortably, the young Indian team showcased the depth and talent that continue to make them one of the favorites in youth cricket competitions.
