In a notable U-19 Asia Cup match, India upheld its 'no-handshake' policy against Pakistan, securing a decisive 90-run victory. The two captains, Ayush Mhatre from India and Farhan Yousaf from Pakistan, avoided the customary handshake during the toss at the ICC Academy grounds.

After Pakistan, tasked with chasing a target of 241, was bowled out for a mere 150 in 41.2 overs, the Indian players opted to shake hands with the umpires instead, bypassing their Pakistani counterparts for post-match greetings.

Electing to field first after winning the toss, Pakistan faced India's total score of 240 runs in 46.1 overs. Both nations had opened their campaigns with victories, India thrashing UAE and Pakistan overpowering Malaysia by significant margins in earlier matches.
