Ali Raza, who made life incredibly difficult for India in the last edition of the tournament will be in action today. Pakistan clinched their maiden Under-19 Asia Cup title in December 2025, defeating India by 191 runs in the final in Dubai. The emphatic victory remains a painful memory for the Indian side, who will now have an opportunity to respond against the same opponents in Oman. Ali Raza, a fast bowler, was among the standout performers in last year's final, when he dismissed Vaibhav Sooryavanshi for 26 off just 10 deliveries. The left-handed opener had already struck three sixes before Ali found his edge, with wicketkeeper Hamza Zahoor completing the catch. Ali finished with figures of 4/42, also accounting for Ayush Mhatre, Kanishk Chouhan and Deepesh Devendran.
