India Beat Pakistan in Thrilling U19 Asia Cup Final as Mohit Ulva Seals Victory off Last Ball

India pulled off a remarkable last-ball victory over Pakistan to win the U19 Asia Cup 2026 final at the Al Amerat Cricket Ground in Muscat on Saturday.

Chasing Pakistan’s total of 337/9, India were pushed to the brink before Mohit Ulva produced a stunning late assault to take the team across the finish line. He remained unbeaten on 49 off 26 balls, hitting the winning boundary off the final delivery.

India needed three runs from the last ball to win, with a tie set to take the match into a Super Over. Ulva struck Ahmed Hussain for four to complete the chase and spark celebrations in the Indian camp.

The final over had begun with India under pressure. Ulva survived a stumping appeal off the first delivery before taking a single. Chigurupati Venkata also collected two singles in the over, leaving India needing three from the final ball.
