"They're Just Taking A Punt": Ex-India Star Slams New Zealand Pitches After 2 Low-Scoring Games

What's behind this

In the U19 Asia Cup 2026 match between India and Pakistan, India recovered to pass the 200‑run mark despite being nine wickets down. The team lost its eighth wicket when Yashveer Goud was caught out for four by Pakistan bowler Ali Raza. The clash also saw the usual pre‑match handshake omitted at the toss, and Indian captain Lakshya Rajesh Raichandani was dismissed without scoring, while Ali Raza made an early impact by taking a wicket in the opening over.
