India seeks U19 WC revenge vs Pakistan after Asia Cup loss

Five-time champions India are set to face Pakistan in a significant Super Six encounter of the ICC Men's Under-19 World Cup. The match carries extra weight due to India's recent crushing 191-run defeat to Pakistan in the Asia Cup final in December.

Adding to India's motivation is a special virtual address from cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, who shared insights on success, focus, and discipline with the squad. This interaction is expected to have a powerful impact on the young players.

India has maintained an undefeated run in the tournament, securing comfortable victories in the group stage and a dominant win against hosts Zimbabwe. Key performers include batters Abhigyan Kundu and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, along with bowler Henil Patel.

Pakistan, after an initial loss, has found strong form, highlighted by a significant win over New Zealand in their Super Six opener. Opener Sameer Minhas, who scored 172 against India in the Asia Cup final, remains a primary threat. Pakistan's bowling attack relies on Ali Raza and Abdul Subhan.

The Indian team is expected to target Minhas early to disrupt Pakistan's scoring and aims to avenge their Asia Cup final loss.
