U19 Asia Cup: Zahoor hits hundred as Pakistan beat India by 3 wickets

What's behind this

Hamza Zahoor’s unbeaten century propelled Pakistan to a three‑wicket victory over India in the ACC Under‑19 Asia Cup group match in Oman. India were bowled out for 208, with Arjun Rajput scoring 107 in a counter‑attacking effort. Pakistan’s chase of 209 slipped after a top‑order wobble, but Zahoor, coming in at number seven, hit 100 off 108 balls and, together with a sixth‑wicket partnership, steered the side home with 11 balls remaining. The win gave Pakistan the edge in the Group A encounter.
