India A vs Pakistan A Highlights Emerging Asia Cup final: PAK A thrash IND A by 128 runs, win title

The wickets might have fallen in quick succession at the other end, but Abhishek Sharma has looked solid so far. A brilliant push this time towards deep point and he finds a four against Wasim jr. He moves to 44.

96/2 in 15 overs, target 353

The India A captain has had a quiet tournament so far, but it will all be forgotten if he steps up tonight. A big innings for Dhull

82/2 in 13 overs, target 353

Right after the boundary, Jose is dismissed! This ball came into the right-hander and Jose went across but missed, with the ball brushing past the pad. A huge appeal and the umpire raises his finger.

Jose, though, is stunned at the decision. A very slow walk back towards the dressing room

80/2 in 12.2 overs, target 353

Nikin Jose smashes his first boundary of the innings. A stellar shot from the youngster. Wasim pulls it brilliantly towards deep midwicket, getting on the top of the delivery.

It certainly looked like a controversial no ball call, but let's move past it now. Abhishek looks set and the onus is on Jose to forge a strong partnership here. Despite the wicket, this has been a positive start for India A so far

Jose joins Abhishek Sharma in the middle. Mehran Mumtaz is also introduced to the attack for the 9th over

Was that a no ball? It looked like one, but the third umpire doesn't think so. Arshad had been troubling Sai Sudharsan with the short-ball, and eventually bounces him out. Arshad picks the catch off his own bowling as Sudharsan's attempt for pull finds a thick upper edge. 

65/1 in 8.4 overs, target 353

… if not for a juicy full-toss right at the end. Arshad had troubled Sudharsan significantly in this over but the batter releases some pressure off the final ball. A full toss on the pads and Sudharsan flicks it superbly, clears the in-field and finds a four towards deep midwicket.

60/0 in 7 overs, target 353

Arshad takes Sudharsan by surprise, almost getting a wicket off his first delivery in the seventh over. Sudharsan tries to play the scoop on the third as well, but fails to connect. Some trouble for the Indian youngster here

Qasim Akram loses his line completely in only the 6th over of the innings. Coming around the wicket, Akram bowls far down the leg-side with the keeper failing to carry as well, fetching 5 runs for India. 

On the very next ball, Abhishek charges down the track and clears the infield on the off-side, getting another four.

56/0 in 6 overs, target 353

A positive start from the two openers. Loose deliveries from Arshad Iqbal and Sudharsan says thank you very much. Outside off on 5th ball, Sudharsan smashes it through midwicket. The batter then goes behind square for his second four.

45/0 in 5 overs, target 353

Poor from Pakistan A. Where it should've been only one, there's 5. It was a gentle push from Abhishek towards cover as he picked a quick single, but the fielder misses the direct hit, with ball travelling to the boundary in fine leg region.

35/0 in 4.1 overs, target 353

Sai Sudharsan slaps Qasim Akram's first delivery through cover for a brilliant four. He didn't have much room to work with but manages to generate enough power to beat the infield. He follows it up with another cheeky shot, which fetches 3.

30/0 in 4 overs

Another four for Abhishek! A brilliant way to end the third over. 

22/0 in 3 overs. Target 353

An early scare for India A! Risky single there but Sudharsan makes an enormous dive, exerting everything he could and makes it into the crease in time. Not sure if the risk was worth taking, though, as Abhishek's drive was stopped at short cover

17/0 in 2.3 overs

Abhishek Sharma smashes the first four of Indian innings, smashing a brilliant drive through extra cover.

16/0 in 2.2 overs

Good start from Iqbal as he concedes five. Sudharshan on 3, Abhishek 1. Qasim Akram to bowl from the other end

5/0

A wide gives India their first run on the board, while Sudharsan gets off the mark on the second delivery!

The players return for the run-chase, with Sai Sudharsan and Abhishek Sharma opening for the side. Arshad Iqbal to bowl the first over for Pakistan A

A solid end to the innings, with Mohammad Wasim Jr. providing a much-needed boost in the final two overs. But a lot of credit must go to Tayyab Tahir for his incredible counter-attacking knock under tremendous pressure. Some of the captaincy decisions from Yash Dhull – like not using pacers in the middle-overs (20-40), and not persisting with his main wicket-taking bowler in Riyan Parag – will come under scanner.

Massive psychological advantage, this. Wasim Jr. brings Pakistan A's 350 with a four over mid-off against Harshit Rana. Still two balls remaining

Only two runs conceded after the six, of which one was a wide. Hangargekar ends with figures of 1/48 in six overs.

344/8 in 49 overs

Mohammad Wasim Jr, what a hit! Hangargekar goes around the wicket against the right-hander but the ball is a bit too full for the bowler's liking. Wide outside the off-stump and Wasim jr. gets the opportunity to open his arms and dispatch this delivery with disdain over the long off!

343/8 in 48.2 overs

Two new batters in Sufiyan Muqeen and Mohammad Wasin Jr at the crease with two overs remaining. India A will look to restrict Pakistan below 350 here

335/8 in 48 overs

Wicket no.8 as Harshit Rana dismisses Mehran. A delivery outside off and fuller, probably a wrong shot selection from Mehran as he decides to play across and attempts a sweep. Misses the line and nicks it for Dhruv Jurel behind the wickets

332/8 in 47.2 overs
