The Under-19 Asia Cup group stages have come to a close, with four out of eight teams moving forward to the next stage. From Group A, Pakistan U-19 and India U-19 topped the table and hence progressed to the semi-finals. Meanwhile, Group B saw Afghanistan U-19 and Bangladesh U-19 earn a ticket to advance.
Pakistan, who remained unbeaten during the group stages after winning three in three games, ended the group stages at the top of the table. This means they will face Bangladesh, who are placed second in the Group B table, in the first semi-final. This will be a rematch of the last U-19 Asia Cup final, where Pakistan defeated Bangladesh to lift the trophy.
Afghanistan to face India in the second semi-final
In the second semi-final, Afghanistan, who topped Group B, will take on India, the second-placed team in Group A. Like Pakistan, Afghanistan also finished the group stage unbeaten, defeating Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Malaysia.
Semi-final and final schedule
Both semi-finals will be played on November 12 at Al Amerat Cricket Ground Oman Cricket (Ministry Turf 1 and 2). The winning teams will meet in the final on November 14.
Semi-finalists from Group A: Pakistan U-19 and India U-19
