Suryavanshi's knock helped India U19 to post 433/6 in 50 overs. In response, UAE 19 were restricted to 199/7 and lost the one-sided match.

The pressure of an India-Pakistan match, even at U19 level, is immense. He's only 14! We should be celebrating his talent, not criticizing one early dismissal. Future looks bright.

Pakistan's bowlers came prepared, especially after that big win against Malaysia. Sayyam and Raza are in good form. Our middle order needs to build a solid partnership. Jai Hind!

A respectful criticism: The team management perhaps put too much expectation on the kid after one big knock. The opening pair strategy against a strong attack could have been more cautious. Hope they recover well.

Rain reduced match means every over is crucial now. Early wicket is a setback, but 49 overs is still plenty. Captain Ayush Mhatre needs to anchor the innings. Come on, boys! 💙

Fascinating to see these future stars! Suryavanshi's first-class average is already being talked about. One match doesn't make a summer. Let's see how the Indian bowling responds.
