Usman Khan and Abdul Qadir set a huge target
Pakistan captain Farhan Yousaf won the toss and chose to bat, and the innings was built around Usman Khan’s 107 off 111 balls, the highest score of the match. Abdul Qadir then struck 80 off 54 balls with eight sixes, and Yousaf added a half-century of his own as Pakistan reached 337 for 9. Kavya Patel took 4 for 68 for India and Chigurupati Venkata took three wickets, which kept the total from growing even bigger.

India’s chase began with captain Lakshya Raichandani, who made 80 off 101 balls, and Aaryavir Sehwag, who made 58 off 61. The pair had been the backbone of the side all tournament, and Raichandani had made 93 in the semi-final win over Afghanistan. Sehwag had also hit 160 against the UAE earlier in the event.
The middle-order collapse
Once the openers were out, India lost wickets steadily and were 252 for 8, needing 86 more with only two wickets in hand. Pakistan, with Rizwanullah and Niqab Shafiq among the wicket-takers, looked to have the final under control.
Ulva and Chauhan turn the final
Chauhan, who struck 47 off 32 balls with three fours and three sixes, added 57 for the ninth wicket with Ulva before he was dismissed, with India on 309 for 9. Ulva (49 not out off 26 balls, with five fours and three sixes) then added 30 for the last wicket with Venkata, who made 11 not out off 8. India needed three off the final delivery. Ulva went down the track and found the boundary, and India had won the title.
