Tayyab Tahir’s outstanding century was the highlight of a performance by Pakistan A. They secured their second consecutive title in the Emerging Teams Asia Cup with a commanding 128-run victory over India A on an exhilarating Sunday.
Pakistan’s batting prowess was on display resulting in a total of 352 for eight. Tahir played a role scoring 108 off just 71 balls, which included 12 boundaries and 4 sixes. Once Pakistan set such an imposing target, it seemed likely that they would emerge victorious.
Despite India’s attempt to chase down the target, they fell short. They were bowled out for 224 runs, in 40 overs. This defeat marked their loss in the tournament. The decision to choose fielding didn’t work out well for the chasing team as they had struggled throughout the competition.

While some of India’s shot choices were questionable this game provided lessons for the talents to learn from and grow in the future.
Despite the loss, it is important to acknowledge India A for their performance throughout the tournament. As they reflect on the match they can find motivation from the positives. They can also focus on their development, as cricketers.
