Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Malaysia form Group B. The tournament follows a round-robin format, with each team playing the other sides in its respective group. The top two teams from each group will advance to the semi-finals, scheduled for November 12. The winners of those knockout encounters will then meet in the final on November 14. With the competition featuring some of the most promising young cricketers from across the continent, the India-Pakistan encounter is among the most anticipated fixtures of the league stage. Sunday's clash will not only carry the weight of the traditional rivalry but could also provide an early indication of the two teams' credentials as title contenders..India vs Pakistan, Under-19 Asia Cup Live Score: India's bowling attack faces its biggest examination While India's batting made light work of Nepal, the bowling attack will face a considerably sterner test against Pakistan's in-form top order. Pacer Ishan Sood will be one of the key figures after returning impressive figures of 3/18 against Nepal. His ability to provide early breakthroughs could be crucial in preventing Pakistan's openers from settling into another substantial partnership. New-ball partner Mohit Ulva will also have an important role in applying pressure during the powerplay. India's spin resources could prove equally decisive, with left-arm spinner Yashveer Goud and off-spinner Arjun Rajput having shared five wickets against Nepal. The duo will be expected to control the middle overs and create opportunities against Pakistan's batting line-up. For India, the challenge will be to translate their promising bowling performance into sustained pressure against a stronger opposition..IND vs PAK, Under-19 Asia Cup Live Score: Pakistan banking on Usman Khan's red-hot form Pakistan will draw considerable confidence from their comprehensive victory over UAE, particularly the performance of opener Usman Khan. The right-hander produced a commanding unbeaten 139 off 120 deliveries to anchor Pakistan's successful chase of 225. His innings demonstrated both his ability to build a substantial knock and accelerate when required, making him one of the key batters India will need to contain. Jahangir Bilal and Abdul Qadir have also shown encouraging form, giving captain Farhan Yousaf a settled-looking top order heading into the India clash. Yousaf, who also captained Pakistan in the previous edition, will be familiar with the intensity of this rivalry. Pakistan defeated India by a massive 191 runs at the ICC Cricket Academy Ground in Dubai during that tournament. That result adds another layer of intrigue to Sunday's encounter, with India keen to produce a different outcome this time..India vs Pakistan, Under-19 Asia Cup Live Score: Aaryavir Sehwag, Lakshya Raichandani lead India's batting charge Much of the batting spotlight for India will be on Aaryavir Sehwag, son of former India opener Virender Sehwag, who made an impressive statement against Nepal. The young opener smashed an unbeaten 70 off just 52 deliveries, decorating his innings with seven fours and four sixes. His attacking approach and ability to dominate the bowling immediately brought back memories of his father's fearless batting style. Skipper Lakshya Raichandani provided excellent support at the other end, remaining unbeaten on 53 off 63 balls as the duo completed the chase without being separated. Their 128-run opening partnership ensured India cruised to victory, but Pakistan's bowling attack will present a substantially tougher challenge. India also have Anvay Dravid, son of former India captain Rahul Dravid, in their squad. Although he did not get an opportunity to bat against Nepal, he took up wicketkeeping duties..IND vs PAK, Under-19 Asia Cup Live Score: Group A standings and semi-final qualification at stake With both teams approaching their penultimate round-robin league fixture, Sunday's result could have a significant bearing on the Group A standings and the race for semi-final qualification. A victory would put the winning side in a strong position to finish among the top two and secure a place in the last four. It would also keep alive the possibility of finishing at the top of the group heading into the final round of league matches. While neither side will want to leave qualification calculations until the last fixture, the immediate objective will be to take control of the group with another victory. With both teams having displayed impressive batting form in their opening matches, the contest could also prove decisive in determining which side handles pressure better..India vs Pakistan, Under-19 Asia Cup Live Score: India, Pakistan look to extend winning starts Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the U19 Asia Cup match between India and Pakistan.
