PremiumIndia vs Pakistan highlights, U-19 Asia Cup: Shahzaib Khan's brilliant 159 at the top of the order headlined Pakistan 44-run win over India in a Group A match of the U-19 Asia Cup in Dubai on Saturday. Opting to bat first, Pakistan got the best possible start as the opening pair of Shahzaib and Usman Khan (60) put on 160 runs for the first wicket.
