Pakistan A will lock horns with arch-rivals India A in the final of the ACC Men’s Emerging Teams Asia Cup 2023 on Sunday, July 23. The Premadasa Stadium in Colombo will host this high-octane clash.

Pakistan A sealed a place in the final by beating Sri Lanka A in the semifinals. Batting first, they posted a mammoth 322 on the board, thanks to half-centuries from Omair Yousuf (88) and Mohammad Haris (52).

Arshad Iqbal then bowled brilliantly and picked up a fifer as they knocked over Sri Lanka A on 262 to win the game by 60 runs.

India A, on the other hand, had to work hard to reach the final. They faced Bangladesh A in the semifinals, who possessed a tough challenge. After being asked to bat first, the India A batters struggled to get going. However, Yash Dhull played a fantastic knock of 66 to take them to 211.

Nishant Sindhu then wreaked havoc as he picked up a fifer to knock over Bangladesh A for 160 to help his team win the game by 51 runs. Having beaten Pakistan A in the group stages earlier, India A will look to make it two wins in two against their neighbors in the tournament.
