India U19 piled on a massive total against Malaysia U19 in their Group A clash of the ACC Men’s U19 Asia Cup 2025 at The Sevens Stadium, Dubai, with Abhigyan Kundu smashing a commanding double century.
Batting first after Malaysia opted to bowl, India posted 408 for 7 in 50 overs, riding on Kundu’s extraordinary 209 off 125 balls, an innings laced with aggressive strokeplay and complete control. His knock anchored India’s innings and kept the scoring rate consistently high through the middle and death overs.
Deepesh Devendran provided brief support at the other end as India capitalised on a tiring Malaysian bowling attack. For Malaysia, Muhammad Akram was the standout bowler, finishing with figures of 5 for 89, even as runs flowed freely from the Indian batters.
India came into the match with confidence after dominant wins over UAE and Pakistan, results that had already sealed their semifinal berth. The team continued that momentum with another emphatic batting display, underlining their status as tournament favourites.
Malaysia, still searching for their first win of the tournament, face a stiff challenge in the chase against an Indian bowling unit that has been disciplined throughout the competition.
The match remains live, with India firmly in control after setting a daunting target.
