Pakistan Lost the U19 WC 2014 Opening match against India by 40 Runs.

Sami Aslam did good start but middle and late order not support well.

Sarfaraz Khan and Sanju Samson hit excellent half-centuries and Deepak Hooda took five wickets as defending champion India defeated two-time former winner and traditional rival Pakistan by 40 runs on day two of the ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup UAE 2014 in front of Star Sports cameras at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Saturday.

Khan scored an invaluable 74 and Samson chipped in with a priceless 68 as the two batsmen put on 119 runs for the fifth wicket to lift India from 94 for four to 262 for seven in 50 overs. Openers Sami Aslam (64) and Imam-ul-Haq (39) then provided Pakistan a flying start of 109 runs, but the green shirts failed to maintain the momentum against some disciplined bowling, led by Deepak Hooda (five for 41), and athletic fielding to be bowled out for 222.

This was India’s third victory in eight matches over Pakistan in the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup. Overall, India now leads 12-8 in 21 U19 matches to date.
