IND vs MAS Live Score, ACC Men's U19 Asia Cup 2025: Abhigyan Kundu stars as India crush Malaysia by 315 runs

IND vs MAS Live Score, ACC Men's U19 Asia Cup 2025: India will lock horns with Malaysia in their third Group A fixture of the ACC Under-19 Asia Cup at The Sevens Stadium in Dubai today, with momentum firmly on the former’s side. Dominant victories over UAE and Pakistan have already sealed India’s place in the semifinals, while Malaysia, winless so far, sit at the bottom of the table but are still technically in the race.

The spotlight once again shines on teenage batting prodigy Vaibhav Suryavanshi. The 14-year-old grabbed global attention with a sensational 171 off 95 balls against UAE — the highest-ever individual score in U19 Asia Cup history and India’s second-highest in youth ODIs. His innings powered India to a record 433/6 and a crushing 234-run win. However, expectations were tempered when he managed just five runs against Pakistan, despite India cruising to a comprehensive 90-run victory powered by disciplined bowling from Kanishk Chouhan and Deepesh Devendran.

Malaysia believe they can exploit that opening. Captain Deeaz Patro and all-rounder Muhammad Aalif have revealed specific plans to counter Suryavanshi, stressing disciplined bowling and smart field placements. Deeaz, who has strong Indian roots through his Odisha-born father and idolises David Warner, wears jersey No. 31 in tribute to the former Australian opener. Aalif, meanwhile, draws inspiration from Virat Kohli’s aggression and mindset.

While India may rotate players and focus on combinations, Malaysia are motivated to challenge the tournament favourites and make the contest memorable.

India vs Malaysia Live Score: Record-breaking start against UAE sets the tone
India’s campaign began with a statement performance against UAE, highlighted by Suryavanshi’s imperious 171 off 95 balls. Supported by half-centuries from Vihaan Malhotra and Aaron George, India piled up a staggering 433 for 6 — their highest-ever total in U19 ODIs and the highest in the history of the U19 Asia Cup.

Suryavanshi’s knock, featuring 14 sixes, was a display of fearless strokeplay and maturity beyond his years.

UAE, despite fighting efforts from Prithvi Madhu and Uddish Suri, were never in contention and finished on 199 for 7.

That emphatic win set the tone for India’s dominance and established them as the team to beat in the tournament.

IND vs MAS Live Score: India’s bowling muscle flexed against Pakistan
India enter the Malaysia match on the back of a dominant 90-run victory over Pakistan, powered by a disciplined bowling performance.

After posting 240 all out, thanks to Aaron George’s fluent 85 and valuable contributions from captain Ayush Mhatre and Kanishk Chouhan, India never loosened their grip.

Seamer Deepesh Devendran struck early, reducing Pakistan to 30 for four, while Chouhan’s incisive off-spin ensured there was no recovery.

Pakistan were bundled out for 150, with Huzaifa Ahsan’s 70 offering brief resistance.

The win underlined India’s depth and balance, with both pace and spin playing decisive roles in controlling the game from start to finish.

ACC Mens U19 Asia Cup 2025 Live Score: Aalif’s admiration for Virat Kohli shapes his approach
All-rounder Muhammad Aalif, another key figure for Malaysia, draws inspiration from Indian batting great Virat Kohli.

Aalif began playing cricket around the age of 10 after a teacher introduced him to the sport during a local tournament in Kuala Lumpur. Encouraged by his mother, he pursued the game seriously while maintaining balance off the field.

“I really admire Virat Kohli — his aggression, mindset and classic cover drive,” Aalif said.

That influence is evident in his approach, blending intensity with technical discipline. Aalif is also excited about sharing the field with Indian players, including Suryavanshi, viewing the contest as a learning experience as much as a competitive battle.

India vs Malaysia Live Score: A personal India connection for Malaysia captain Deeaz Patro
Malaysia captain Deeaz Patro shares a deep personal connection with India. His father, originally from Odisha, moved to Malaysia around two decades ago in search of work and later settled there.

Deeaz was introduced to cricket at the age of four and quickly fell in love with the game. By 10, he was representing Kuala Lumpur’s Under-16 side, and at 13, he earned a spot in Malaysia’s Under-16 team.

Now captaining the Under-19 side, Deeaz credits his parents, particularly his mother, for unwavering support.

A devoted admirer of David Warner, he proudly wears jersey number 31 in tribute to the former Australian opener and visits Odisha at least once a year to stay connected to his roots.

IND vs MAS Live Score: Motivation high as Malaysia aim to play spoiler
While Malaysia sit at the bottom of Group A, their motivation remains intact. With a slim chance of sneaking into the semifinals, they are determined to challenge India and disrupt the script.

“Playing here means a lot to us,” Deeaz said, highlighting the intensity of their preparation.

High-intensity training sessions and focused tactical discussions have been the hallmark of Malaysia’s build-up to the tournament.

Even if qualification proves elusive, a strong showing against India would be a significant morale booster for a developing cricket nation.

Facing a powerhouse like India provides invaluable exposure, and the Malaysian players are keen to embrace the challenge rather than be overawed by reputation.

ACC Mens U19 Asia Cup 2025 Live Score: Malaysia confident of plans to counter India’s young star
Despite their results so far, Malaysia have shown confidence heading into the clash against table-toppers India.

Captain Deeaz Patro and all-rounder Muhammad Aalif have revealed that the team has specific plans to contain Suryavanshi, drawing inspiration from how Pakistan managed to dismiss him cheaply.

“Vaibhav is a rising star, but we have strategies to trap him using our best bowlers,” Deeaz told TimesofIndia.com.

Malaysia believe disciplined bowling and smart field placements could help them apply pressure early.

For a side still chasing its first win, restricting India’s most explosive batter would be a major psychological boost. The Malaysian camp has stressed preparation and execution, viewing the contest as an opportunity to test themselves against the tournament favourites and leave a lasting impression.

India vs Malaysia Live Score: Vaibhav Suryavanshi under spotlight again
Fourteen-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi continues to be the centre of attention after his jaw-dropping 171 off just 95 balls against UAE in the tournament opener.

The innings, laced with 14 sixes and nine fours, announced him as one of the most exciting young batting talents in age-group cricket. However, the hype was momentarily tempered when he fell for just five runs against Pakistan, failing to replicate his fireworks despite India cruising to a comfortable win.

That contrast has only added intrigue ahead of the Malaysia match, with all eyes once again on the young opener.

How Suryavanshi responds to targeted plans and early pressure will be closely watched, not just by opposition teams but by talent scouts tracking his rapid rise through the junior ranks.
