Mohit Ulva has pulled off a remarkable innings to guide India to a thrilling one-wicket win over Pakistan in the U19 Asia Cup Final at Al Almeerat. Batting at number 10, Ulva scored an unbeaten 49 off 26 balls – including a boundary off the final ball – to spark remarkable scenes.
Chasing 338, India looked gone at 252/8. Ulva added 57 with Manal Chauhan for the ninth wicket and then 30 with number 11 Chigurupati Venkata.
“I had belief in God in the last over. I believe myself to be an allrounder. This tournament had not gone well for me but I had believe that I would be able to deliver today. I needed Manal’s support which he provided,” Ulva said.
Manal Chauhan also played a fantastic knock, scoring a 32-ball 47 that included three fours and three sixes. Ulva himself hit five fours and three sixes.
Opener Aaryavir Sehwag, who copped a blow to his arm, says the pain is gone after a remarkable win. Sehwag (58) combined with captain Lakshiya Raichandani (80) for a 95-run stand in 17.4 overs to give India a platform before they stuttered badly in the middle overs.
“I don’t feel any pain in my hand anymore. I cannot believe what I have just witnessed. I still have goosebumps. Emotions are very high whenever it is India-Pakistan,” he said.
“As I had gotten out in the last match against them, I wanted to score today regardless of copping a blow on my arm. It was hurting but I knew if I stayed in the middle, it would keep pressure on Pakistan.”

Indian Cricket is…
A thrilling U19 Asia Cup final with a sensational knock from Mohit Ulva, death bowling being the biggest difference. Pak bowlers conceding 90 runs in the last ten whereas India bowlers gave away only 63 runs & took 6 wickets. A learning experience for the boys.
