India and Pakistan will meet in the final of the ACC Men’s U-19 Asia Cup 2026 on Saturday, November 14, at the Al Amerat Cricket Ground in Oman.
Saturday’s summit clash marks their second meeting of the week following a tense group-stage encounter. In that fixture, India posted 208 on the back of a fighting 107 from Arjun Rajput, only for Pakistan’s lower order to pull off a three-wicket chase after early setbacks.
Hamza Zahoor hit a match-winning ton to push Pakistan to the edge. Now India has a chance to avenge their loss, and Lakshya Raichandani wouldn't want to let this moment go. The likes of Aaryavir Sehwag, Anvay Dravid, and Rajput already stack India's top order.
They will be looking to put an even bigger total on the board in the final.
Meanwhile, Farhan Yousaf’s Pakistan side will bank on pacers Ali Raza and Abdul Subhan alongside Zahoor’s composure in the middle order to complete a tournament double over their rivals.
The ACC Men’s U-19 Asia Cup 2026 final between India and Pakistan will be played on Saturday, November 14, at Ministry Turf 2, Al Amerat Cricket Ground in Muscat, Oman.

Cricket fans in India and around the world can catch every ball of the U-19 Asia Cup 2026 final live across television and digital streaming platforms:
Neither camp has reported any injury concerns ahead of Saturday’s final, though India could look to tighten their death-bowling options after failing to defend 208 in the group stage.
Pakistan is unlikely to alter a settled line-up that has delivered consistently with both bat and ball throughout the competition.
