Sameer Minhas 172 vs India: Highest Individual Score in U19 Asia Cup Final: Whenever India and Pakistan teams face each other in the world of cricket, the excitement reaches its peak. But this time, in the final of the Under-19 Asia Cup 2025, what Pakistan's young opening batsman Sameer Minhas did has forced a rewriting of the pages of cricket history. In this title match played in Dubai, Sameer, with his explosive batting, overwhelmed the Indian bowlers and set several major records.

Sameer Minhas adopted an aggressive approach from the start and maintained pressure on the Indian attack. The pace of his innings can be gauged from the following:

• Half-century: In just 29 balls.
• Century: In only 71 balls (the second century of the tournament).
• Total score: 172 runs off 113 balls (17 fours and 9 sixes).

Sameer has now become the second fastest batsman to score a century in the Under-19 Asia Cup. India's Vaibhav Suryavanshi holds the first position in this list.

Broke a 13-year-old record

The biggest highlight of Sameer Minhas's innings was that he broke the record for the highest individual score in the Under-19 Asia Cup final.

Previously, this record was held by Pakistan's Sami Aslam, who scored 134 runs against India in the 2012 final. Sameer not only broke this 13-year-old record but also set a benchmark that will be a major challenge for future batsmen to surpass.

Special note: Sameer Minhas has become the first batsman to cross the 150-run mark in the Under-19 Asia Cup final.

The way Sameer was batting, it seemed he would definitely score a double century today. However, his historic innings came to an end at a score of 172 due to a mis-hit off a delivery from Indian bowler Deepesh Devendra. Although he couldn't reach a double century, his innings put Pakistan in a strong position.
