IND vs JPN Live Score: Team India need to regroup
On the bowling front, India's spinners bore the brunt of Shahzaib's onslaught. Ennan and Hardik Raj (0/47 in 6 overs) were inconsistent, allowing Pakistan to dictate terms. Mhatre impressed with the ball, picking up 2/30 in seven overs to temporarily stem the flow of runs, but Shahzaib had already inflicted significant damage.
India's U-19 team, comprising several players with IPL contracts, will need to regroup and address their shortcomings ahead of their next game.
India vs Pakistan Live Score: India top order failed against Pakistan pacers
The top order failed to fire, with captain Mohammed Amman dragging his way to a painstaking 16 off 43 balls. Despite a fighting 67 from Nikhil Kumar, the Indian batting line-up lacked partnerships, especially after the dismissal of Ayush Mhatre.
Mhatre, who scored 20 off 18 balls with five exquisite boundaries, looked a class apart during his brief stay. However, a sharp rising delivery from Abdul Subhan caught his outside edge, leaving the young batter disappointed.

In response, India's chase never gained momentum, folding for 238 in 47.1 overs. Rising star Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who has attracted attention as a Rajasthan Royals' IPL signing for Rs 1.10 crore, was dismissed cheaply for 1 run. Struggling with his footwork against the tall seamers, Suryavanshi edged a fuller delivery from Ali Raza to the keeper, underlining his vulnerability against pace.
