IND vs PAK U-19 Asia Cup: A chance to avenge last year's defeat! Aryaveer Sehwag to be tested against Pakistan

IND vs PAK U-19 Asia Cup:  India and Pakistan will once again face each other. The men's Under-19 Asia Cup is a tournament. Both India and Pakistan have started their campaigns with a strong win in the ongoing tournament in Oman. But the real challenge for both teams is now. All eyes will be on this high-profile match on Sunday, November 8. The match between India's young opener Aryavir Sehwag and Pakistan fast bowler Ali Raza is especially important

Last year, India and Pakistan also clashed in the Under-19 Asia Cup. This match was for the title. Team India lost to Pakistan in the final. There were star batsmen like Vaibhav Suryavanshi in that match, but India still lost by 191 runs. So this match is also an opportunity to avenge the previous defeat

A look at Aryaveer Sehwag

All hopes of the Indian batting will rest on Aryavir Sehwag. Virender Sehwag's son Aryaveer displayed an explosive batting performance like a father figure in the first match. Against Nepal, he scored an aggressive unbeaten 70 off just 52 balls, which included seven fours and four sixes. His innings helped India chase down a target of 129 runs in 19.1 overs. Skipper Lakshya Raichandani also scored an unbeaten 53. Another strong performance will be expected from the opening pair

However, there is no shortage in India's bowling. Fast bowler Ishan Sood took 3 wickets for 18 runs in 10 overs against Nepal in the first match. Mohit Ulwa will also be expected to support with the new ball, while the spin duo of Yashvir Gaur and Arjun Rajpoot could prove crucial in the middle overs

Ali Raza's challenge

However, the challenge against Pakistan will be much tougher. Especially fast bowler Ali Raza and the other fast bowlers he supports can trouble the Indian top order. Ali Raza played in the tournament last year, and the young Pakistani pace bowler did brilliantly in that final. He played a key role in Pakistan's victory by taking four wickets off Vaibhav Suryavanshi.

Pakistan also have significant batting strength. Opener Usman Khan scored 139 runs against the UAE in the first match. Jahangir Bilal and Abdul Qadir are also key members of the batting order, which can be a headache for the Indian bowlers
