Exciting Highlights: India A vs. Pakistan A, Emerging Teams Asia Cup Final:
Pakistan A‘s star player, Tayyab Tahir, shone brightly, scoring a splendid 108 runs off just 71 balls and taking two remarkable catches, leading his team to a commanding victory. India A began their pursuit of the challenging target of 353 runs with a strong start, with Sai Sudarshan and Abhishek Sharma contributing with a partnership of 64 runs. However, Sudarshan’s dismissal became controversial, as it appeared that Arshad Iqbal had overstepped, but it wasn’t called a no-ball, resulting in a catch by wicketkeeper Mohammad Haris. India A struggled in their batting, losing wickets at regular intervals; Yash Dhul (39 runs off 41 balls) resisted for a while, but the increasing run-rate left him with limited options. After his dismissal, India A fell short and concluded their innings at 224 runs.
