INDIA U19 BEAT PAK U19 IN ASIA CUP FINAL BY 40 RUNS
Man of the Match - SANJU SAMSON
Sharjah, January 4, 2014 India skipper Vijay Zol (100) and Sanju Samson (100) scored contrasting centuries as India colts posted a comprehensive 40-run win over arch-rivals Pakistan to clinch the Under-19 Asia Cup title, here today. While Zol's knock came off 120 balls laced with seven fours and two sixes, Samson took just 87 deliveries for his ton that included eight boundaries and four sixes, to help India reach 314 for eight in their allotted 50 overs. In reply, Pakistan could reach 274 for nine, despite a fighting ton from Kamran Ghulam (102 not out; 89b, 12X4s). Put in to bat, India got off to a solid start with openers -- Ankush Bains (47) and Akhil Herwadkar (12) -- putting on 65 runs in 6.4 overs for the opening wicket. It was medium pacer Zia-ul-Haq who got the first breakthrough for Pakistan by removing Herwadkar, while leg-spinner Karamat Ali dismissed Bains to reduce India to 85 for two. However, Zol and Samson joined hands to share a massive 180-run
