In the chase, Pakistan initially appeared well-set for success, with Azan Awais contributing a promising 41 runs. However, his departure triggered a collapse. Captain Saad Baig managed a steady 50 runs, but it proved insufficient to secure victory.
As the innings progressed, Pakistan faced a sudden downturn, ultimately getting bowled out for 182 runs in the final over, resulting in an 11-run defeat. With this loss, Pakistan U19 exits the competition, and UAE will advance to face Bangladesh in the Asia Cup U19 final, competing for the championship trophy.
