100 comes up for Pakistan A. Maaz Sadaqat is in mood to finish early as the left-hander clobbers Suyash Sharma for another six. India A have themselves to blame, conceding extra and sloppy fielding. PAK A 115/2 (12)

A huge discussion in the middle. Maaz Sadaqat is caught brilliantly at the boundary by Nehal Wadhera and Nama Dhir. Sadaqat walks out after being given out but is standing just an inch inside the ground. TV umpires rule him not out. Indian players can't believe it. Sadaqat returns.

Yash Thakur comes into the attack and Mohammad Naeem welcomes him with a boundary. 6 fours and 2 sixes so far inside the powerplay. OUTTTT!!! What a brilliant catch by Namam Dhir to dismiss Naeem. On the up, Naeem makes some room to play it through the cap, but Dhir flew in to take a brilliant diving catch. PAK 55/1 (5.3)

Things are crumbling fast for India A. Maaz Sadaqat is taking on the Indian bowlers with ease, especially Gurjapneet Singh. The left-hander whipped the left-arm pacer for a four and then a six over long-on. 50 up for Pakistan A. PAK A 51/0 (5)

After starting the over with a four off the first ball, Dhir sends Muqeem into the stands. The right-hander goes down on one knee to send the ball over deep midwicket. IND A 68/1 (8)

Vaibhav Suryavanshi reminds former Pakistan captain Salman Butt off Yuvraj Singh. “he reminds me of Yuvraj Singh from his playing days,” said Butt on commentary. IND A 50/1 (6)

The spotlight has been solely on Vaibhav Suryavanshi. On the other hand, Pakistan players, especially Ubaid Shah, is trying to unsettle the 14-year-old with mind games. But the Indian looks to be on his own. IND A 40/1 (5)

OUTTT!!!! Priyansh Arya gets a thick top edge and is caught by Daniyal at mid-on. Shahid Aziz gets the breakthrough for Pakistan A. IND A 30/1 (3.2)

Up in the air, but safe. While Priyansh Arya looks a bit scratchy, Vaibhav Suryavanshi has been the aggressor. He first slashes Shahid Aziz for a four before hitting straight over the bowler's head for a six. IND A 17/0 (2)

Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Priyansh Arya walk out to bat for India A. Ubaid Shah will open the bowling for Pakistan A. Cracking shot from Suryavanshi for a four in the first ball. He gets room wide of the off stump and the southpaw makes no mistake in slashing it over the fielder's reach. IND A 6/0 (1)

Here comes the both the teams for National Anthems. Pakistan A go first, followed by India. No visuals of handshake yet. Presumably, they haven't.

Irfan Khan wins the toss and Pakistan A opted to bowl first. While India go unchanged, Pakistan A have made two changes with Mubasir Khan and Mohammad Salman make way for Shahid Aziz and Sufiyan Muqeem.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi has already played in IPL, proved every time in in India U-19 jersey and is making a statement for India A. Certainly, a spot booked for in India's U-19 World Cup squad.

The Indians should be wary off Ubaid Shah in bowling and Maaz Sadaqat in batting. Ubaid has been in tremendous form lately and was the star of the pack against Oman with three wickets. For the unknown, Ubaid is the younger brother of senior team pacer Naseem Shah.

Meanwhile, Sadaqat was unbeaten on 96 against Oman and dismissing him early will be a challenge for the Indian team.

After his 32-ball ton, Vaibhav Suryavanshi might have equalled Rishabh Pant as he became the joint-second fastest Indian to score a T20 hundred. But little did everyone know that Suryavanshi also went past Rohit Sharma's 35-ball T20I hundred, which the former Indian captain achieved in 2017 against Sri Lanka.

It's time to hunt Pakistan down once again. The Indian team are on top of the group and a win today will help them into the semifinals. The top two teams from each group will play in the last four stage.

In the Pakistan contingent, Maaz Sadaqat and Saad Masood were also a part of the title-winning Men in Green squad who won the Hong Kong Sixes 2025 last week.

The India A vs Pakistan A clash is taking place at the West End Park International Cricket Stadium in Doha. The venue is also known as Al Arabi Stadium and Asia Town Cricket Stadium. The venue has played hosts to mostly associate nations across genders.

India A will continue the BCCI’s “No Handshake” policy during their Rising Stars Asia Cup 2025 match against Pakistan Shaheens. This step is meant to show solidarity with the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack.

The same stand was taken in September when India’s T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav avoided shaking hands with Pakistan’s Salman Ali Agha. For this match, India A captain Jitesh Sharma is also expected to skip handshakes with Pakistan skipper Irfan Khan.

Maaz Sadaqat opened brilliantly in the first match and hit an unbeaten 96 off 54 balls at a strike rate of 177.77. He also took 2 wickets for 14 in three overs.

Ubaid Shah looked sharp on debut as he picked up 3 for 29 in his three overs. Saad Masood showed solid all-round ability against Oman as he took 2 for 27 in four overs. He also added a quick unbeaten 19 off six balls.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi enters with massive hype after smashing 144 off 42 balls on debut. He has already made 409 runs in nine T20s with a strike rate of 240.58 and 41 sixes.

Left-arm fast bowler Gurjapneet Singh is another big threat for Pakistan. He took 3 for 18 against the UAE while bowling with real pace. Captain Jitesh Sharma is in top form too after his unbeaten 83 off 32 balls that included 6 sixes and 8 fours.

Pakistan Shaheens have begun the tournament well, beating Oman by 40 runs. Thanks to Maaz Sadaqat’s unbeaten 96 off 54 balls, Pakistan Shaheens scored 220/4. In reply, Oman fought well and scored 180/9.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi scored 144 runs off 42 balls against the UAE, earning the Player of the Match. The T20 century was Suryavanshi's second T20 century in 35 balls or fewer. So far, he is the only cricketer to achieve this record. His strike rate was 342.86.

Will he continue his explosive form against Pakistan as well?

Besides, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, captain Jitesh Sharma starred with the bat against UAE with a score of 83 not out. Naman Dhir also scored 38.
