India A vs Pakistan A LIVE Score: Nehal Wadhera puts down a tough catch early in the chase.
India A vs Pakistan A Asia Cup Rising Stars LIVE Score: Not India’s day with the bat in Doha. Vaibhav Suryavanshi top-scored with 45, but was dismissed as soon as he got going, and that was a massive momentum switch. After he and Naman Dhir had taken India to 91/2 in the first half of the innings, the rest of the batting folded for 8 wickets in the next 45 runs. None of the middle order able to contribute, with some controversy also involved with the wicket of Ashutosh Sharma….Read More
India–Pakistan encounters at any level have always carried an extra edge. Across sports and age groups, meetings between the two nations draw intrigue and intensity, shaped in no small part by the hostility and controversy that have followed their political tensions since the conflict earlier this year. Too often, that backdrop has overshadowed the sport itself, pulling focus away from the performances on the field.
As the next generation from India and Pakistan arrives in Doha for the Asia Cup Rising Stars, that familiar undertone will inevitably linger. Yet there is hope that, in a tournament built purely for development, the spotlight will shift to where it truly belongs — on the emerging talent, standout performances, and the promising futures of both sides.
India A vs Pakistan A Playing XI
It was all about the Vaibhav Suryavanshi show in India’s thumping opening victory over UAE, as the small boundaries and true surface saw the youngster blast 15 sixes out of India’s 25 total. Suryavanshi raced away to 144 off just 42 deliveries, and looked dead set to score even more at one point – but it was enough to push India to 297/4 in their 20 overs after Jitesh Sharma showed off his finishing skills late on.
It has been excellent batting conditions in Doha: Pakistan Shaheens scored 220 in their first innings, while Bangladesh A chased down 170 in just 11 overs yesterday. India A likely won’t make too many changes and will let the quality they possess do the talking. Expect them to stick to the same XI.
India A XI: Priyansh Arya, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Nehal Wadhera, Naman Dhir, Jitesh Sharma (wk&c), Ashutosh Sharma, Ramandeep Singh, Harsh Dubey, Yash Thakur, Gurjapneet Singh, Suyash Sharma
On the other side, Maaz Sadaqat starred with 96* opening the batting, before returning to take 2 wickets in the second innings as well. Don’t expect too many changes for the Shaheens either.
Pakistan A: Mohammad Naeem, Maaz Sadaqat, Yasir Khan, Mohammad Faiq, Irfan Khan(c), Saad Masood, Ghazi Ghori(w), Shahid Aziz, Ubaid Shah, Ahmed Daniyal, Sufiyan Muqeem

Harsh Dubey will need to push this score near 150.
Nov 16, 2025 9:25:02 PM IST
India A vs Pakistan A LIVE Score: Slower ball the undoing of Ramandeep, and that’s the last of India’s power-hitters! Tries to go for a big hit, but far too early into it. Loops straight into the air and easy for the wicketkeeper to grab.
Nov 16, 2025 9:18:56 PM IST
India A vs Pakistan A LIVE Score: Big mix-up! Ramandeep is sent back, there was never a run there. He lucks out as the bowler dislodges the stumps without control of the ball. It’s a tight call for the third umpire, but he gives the benefit to the runner. Safe for now, is Ramandeep.
Nov 16, 2025 9:15:48 PM IST
India A vs Pakistan A LIVE Score: This has been a brutal collapse. Nehal Wadhera tries to attack but just walks past one, and is easily stumped.
From 91/2 to 104/6.
Nov 16, 2025 9:09:12 PM IST
India A vs Pakistan A LIVE Score: Oh, that didn’t look out! But Masood gets his man! Ashutosh Sharma had played out a maiden in the previous over, and the spinner gets him! Looked like he was outside the line of off-stump when that hit him high on the pad and he’s not happy. That didn’t look out to the naked eye, but the Pakistan players plead with the umpire and get the wicket.
102/5 now. Trouble for India.

45(28) for Suryavanshi, and he’s disappointed with himself. Was finding his form!

Nov 16, 2025 8:44:02 PM IST
India A vs Pakistan A LIVE Score: Suryavanshi gets one overpitched, and it’s an easy swing of the bat to pick up 6!
Later in the over though, Naman Dhir chips one to covers. Soft, given how well he was hitting it. Falls on 35, and was looking good. Big wicket for Pakistan.
Nov 16, 2025 8:40:01 PM IST
India A vs Pakistan A LIVE Score: Dhir taking the lead here with the run-scoring! If Suryavanshi won’t get you, the rest of this batting can. Dhir opens up against Muqeem the left-arm leggie, picks up four with a sweep then a big slog for six.
68/1 off 8 overs.
Nov 16, 2025 8:32:46 PM IST

Nov 16, 2025 8:30:55 PM IST

Nov 16, 2025 8:12:57 PM IST

India A vs Pakistan A LIVE Score: Match will start in just an hour, with the toss in 30 minutes. A late match here, compared to the afternoon games these teams started off with. As mentioned, expect the teams wanting to chase – but the lights will mean the seamers will come in that much more. The question is if any changes are expected.
Nov 16, 2025 6:45:38 PM IST
India A vs Pakistan A LIVE Score: India and Pakistan’s massive scores ensured they held on while defending those scores, but in the more even matches, it has been the chasing teams which have gotten the job done. With these two teams being a lot more even in terms of bowling, chasing might be the way to go at this venue. With the small boundaries and lights, expect the choice to be bowling first.
Nov 16, 2025 6:35:08 PM IST
India A vs Pakistan A LIVE Score: Over in the other group fixture, it was a tight, relatively low-scoring fixture, which went all the way down to the last ball. Chasing 155, with 2 wickets in hand, Oman got the job done in the shaky last over. What this means is that Oman will keep dreams of qualifying through, but would need a lot of help. Nevertheless, that was the curtain-raiser for this match, and the focus shifts to this one now.
Nov 16, 2025 6:25:11 PM IST
India A vs Pakistan A LIVE Updates: In the IPL, the best bowlers in the world dealt with Suryavanshi by slowing things up and bowling it outside his arc. However, Suryavanshi displayed an Abhishek Sharma-esque bat-swing to power balls over the offside vs the UAE as well. Knowing that he has to improve on that, he showed positive signs as he wasn’t slogging towards leg wildly. An added adaptation to deal with slower balls will make him an even stronger weapon.
Nov 16, 2025 6:10:03 PM IST
India A vs Pakistan A LIVE Updates: When you play the way he has been playing at 14, the weight of expectations can be crushing. Mental strength and staying in the moment is so crucial for someone making waves the way Suryavanshi is, and as is management of expectations. Doing well? You can always do better. That is the message the dazzling southpaw has always grown up with, and an internal mantra.
Nov 16, 2025 6:00:34 PM IST
India A vs Pakistan A LIVE Updates: With ball in hand, the pressure was never really on India with 298 runs to defend. Nevertheless, Gurjapneet Singh was very impressive, taking 3 wickets and bowling well in all phases of the game. With India needing some backup and some prospects in their seam bowling departments, all these performances will certainly be under the scanner as the ranks try to make their case. Ramandeep Singh and Yash Thakur were the other seamers who played in the opening match.
Nov 16, 2025 5:50:23 PM IST
India A vs Pakistan A LIVE Updates: Pakistan also enjoyed a very significant victory over Oman after putting up 220 in their first innings. While their batting with be happy, the bowling will be under the pump against a very powerful IPL-experienced Indian lineup. Pakistan will feel they will have the ability to take the fight to India, given the strength of their batting performance and the fact they can back their bowlers to keep India quieter.
Nov 16, 2025 5:45:06 PM IST
India A vs Pakistan A LIVE Updates: Jitesh Sharma has been given the chance to lead this very young team, and he did show up to lead from the front. In 32 balls, he whacked 83*, hitting eight boundaries and six sixes right at the death. Jitesh knows he has a chance to nail down a position in the senior T20 team proper if he can string together really strong performances, and even innings like these will go a long way towards sealing that.
Nov 16, 2025 5:20:07 PM IST
India A vs Pakistan A LIVE Updates: There was no denying it was the Suryavanshi Show on Friday. 42 balls played, 15 sixes hit, enroute to 144 with some truly brutal batting. The power was something to behold, not just in the context of a 14-year-old, but given he was out-hitting his senior partners. It made clear that this is a player who is already meant for the big stage. All the eyes will be on him for this contest.
Nov 16, 2025 5:10:12 PM IST
India A vs Pakistan A LIVE Updates: India A will have a lot of confidence after putting up nearly 300 runs in the first innings against UAE, before never really being threatened with the ball, which was to be expected. India sitting comfortably at the top of their group for the time being.
