Pakistan U19 cricket team began its tri-series campaign with a thumping win over the hosts UAE in the competition\u2019s opening contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a dominant display of batting prowess, openers Shahzaib Khan and Usman Khan forged an unbreakable 193-run stand, propelling their team to a 10-wicket victory over the UAE at the ICC Academy on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chasing a target of 192, Shahzaib and Usman made light work of the UAE bowling attack, scattering shots around the ground to comfortably reach the target in just the 43rd over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shahzaib, the left-handed dynamo, scored an unbeaten 109 off 133 balls, a knock laced with 10 boundaries and two sixes. His opening partner, the equally determined Usman, held his ground with an impressive 77 off 122 deliveries, finding the boundary three times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This remarkable win sets Pakistan off to a flying start in the tri-series, showcasing their young guns\u2019 potential with both bat and ball. Pakistan\u2019s U19 team will next play two consecutive games against Afghanistan<\/a> in this tri-series on the 15th and 20th of November before concluding their group matches with another contest against UAE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
