IND vs UAE Highlights, U19 Asia Cup 2025: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi shines as India thrash UAE by 234 runs
INDIA 19 vs UAE 19 Live Score, U19 Asia Cup 2025: India’s U-19 Asia Cup campaign begins with both cricketing excitement and diplomatic intrigue. Led by in-form Mumbai and CSK opener Ayush Mhatre, India start against UAE today, but the real attention is on Sunday’s fixture against Pakistan. Beyond the cricketing rivalry, a major question looms: will India’s juniors be allowed to shake hands with Pakistan’s players? In senior tournaments — including the Asia Cup, the Women’s ODI World Cup and the Rising Stars T20 — Indian teams have refused the customary handshake to show solidarity with the Indian Army and victims of the Pahalgam terror attack.
For the U-19s, however, the ICC wants politics kept firmly out. A BCCI official confirmed that “explicit instructions” have been given to team manager Anand Datar, and if India decide against handshakes, the match referee must be informed beforehand. The board acknowledges the tightrope between avoiding “bad optics” internationally and respecting public sentiment back home.
On the cricket front, India are runaway favourites. Mhatre and fellow batting prodigy Vaibhav Suryavanshi arrive on the back of dominant Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy campaigns. Mhatre struck consecutive centuries, while Suryavanshi became the youngest SMAT centurion. Together, they have nine senior-level centuries — more than all other Asia Cup teams combined. With Malaysia and UAE lacking 50-over exposure, India and Pakistan are almost certain semifinalists.
Meanwhile, defending champions Bangladesh enter the tournament with confidence. Their seam-bowling all-rounder Rizan Hossan, fresh off a century in England and a match-winning all-round show against Afghanistan, calls the event “the perfect World Cup rehearsal.” He highlights strong family support, a disciplined rise through age-group cricket, and coaching staff who sharpened his three-dimensional game. Drawing inspiration from Ben Stokes, Hossan believes Bangladesh’s cohesion and preparation can deliver another Asia Cup title.

India’s newest teen sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi unleashed a jaw-dropping exhibition of power-hitting, smashing a 56-ball century against the United Arab Emirates in the opening match of the ACC U-19 Asia Cup in Dubai on Friday. The 14-year-old — already hailed as one of the most exciting batting prodigies of his generation — transformed India’s shaky start into a breathtaking onslaught that left UAE shell-shocked and put India firmly in command.
Asked to bat first by UAE skipper Yayin Rai, India were jolted early when captain Ayush Mhatre fell for just 4 in the third over. At 8/1, the innings desperately needed both stability and intent — and Vaibhav delivered exactly that, and more.

India’s U-19 Asia Cup campaign begins with twin talking points: the explosive emergence of Gen-Z batting stars Vaibhav Suryavanshi and captain Ayush Mhatre, and the sensitive question of whether the BCCI will permit Indian players to shake hands with their Pakistani counterparts. While India open against UAE today, all eyes are on Sunday’s high-voltage clash with Pakistan — a matchup complicated by the precedent set in senior men’s and women’s events, where Indian teams have declined handshakes in solidarity with the Army and victims of the Pahalgam terror attack.
For the U-19s, however, the ICC is keen to avoid political overtones, insisting on normal sporting protocol. A BCCI official confirmed that “explicit instructions” have been issued to manager Anand Datar, and if India skip the handshake, the match referee must be informed in advance. Administrators acknowledge the delicate balance between public sentiment and the ICC’s stance against politicising junior cricket.
On the field, India enter the tournament as overwhelming favourites. Mhatre and Suryavanshi are in sizzling form after standout Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy campaigns, scoring nine senior-level centuries between them — more than all seven other teams combined. With Malaysia and UAE lacking significant 50-over experience, India and Pakistan are almost certain semifinalists.
