Indian Players Did Not Go to Nakvi's Stage

During the post-match presentation ceremony, Mohsin Nakvi presented the trophy to the Pakistan team and also posed for pictures with the players and support staff. However, the Indian players refused to share the stage and instead went to a separate area to receive their medals from another official, where Nakvi was not present.

Pakistan's Dominance in the Final

In the final match, Pakistan delivered a stellar performance against India. Batting first, Pakistan scored 347 runs. The foundation of this massive score was laid by opener Sameer Minhas, who played a magnificent innings of 172 runs. While Vaibhav Suryavanshi gave India an aggressive start while chasing the target, the Indian innings soon collapsed. The Indian batsmen could not withstand the pressure of the final, and Suryavanshi also had an off day. Ultimately, the Indian team was bowled out for just 156 runs, giving Pakistan a massive 191-run victory and the U19 Asia Cup title.

Indian Team's Separate Stance During the Presentation

Mohsin Nakvi had arrived in Dubai during the final and was present in the presentation area along with others after the match concluded. While Naqvi presented medals to the Pakistani players and handed the trophy to captain Farhan Yousuf, the Indian players did not share the stage with him.
