However, batting inconsistencies remain a concern, especially after collapsing against India’s bowlers earlier.
Probable Playing XI India U19 (Batting-heavy with spin options):
Ayush Mhatre (c), Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Vihaan Malhotra, Vedant Trivedi, Abhigyan Kundu (wk), Aaron George, Kanishk Chouhan, Deepesh Devendran, Yuvraj Gohil, Khilan A. Patel, Anmoljeet Singh.
(Spin duo of Chouhan and Patel to exploit Dubai’s turning track; Devendran leads the seam attack.)
Pakistan U19 (Pace-dominated bowling, aggressive top order):
Farhan Yousaf (c), Usman Khan (vc), Abdul Subhan, Sameer Minhas, Mohammad Sayyam, Ali Raza, Niqab Shafiq, Ahmed Hussain, Hamza Zahoor (wk), Mohammad Shayan (wk), Ali Hasan Baloch.
(Subhan and Raza form a fiery new-ball pair; Minhas provides all-round stability.)
