After Vaibhav Suryavanshi, it was Naman Dhir who stood tall against the Pakistani bowling attack during the India A vs. Pakistan A Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025 match on Sunday (November 16) at the West End Park International Cricket Stadium in Doha. 

With Vaibhav Suryavanshi as one of the openers, the India A team got a good start against the Pakistan A team. The other opener, Priyansh Arya, departed cheaply for only 10 runs. After the fall of the first wicket, Suryavanshi and Dhir steered the innings for a while. Suryavanshi scored 45 off 28, while Dhir registered 35 off 20. During this knock, the Mumbai Indians star smashed four boundaries and one six. The only over boundary of his innings came against the emerging Pakistan spinner Sufiyan.

Muqeem. It was an elegant shot from Naman over the deep midwicket area for a massive six. The over proved very costly for Muqeem and Pakistan. Later, it was the same spinner who dismissed Suryavanshi. And Saad

Masood took the wicket of Naman Dhir. The way Suryavanshi and Dhir were batting during the initial stage of the first innings, India could have easily achieved a handsome total on the scoreboard. Instead, they were able to gather only 136 runs against all 10 wickets in 19 overs. Apart from these two batters, most of the batting lineup remained silent against the Pakistan A team. Suryavanshi and Dhir together built a partnership of 49 off 32, where 35 runs came from Naman's bat.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi got the exact start in India A team was looking for against Pakistan A team during the Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025 tournament at the West End Park International Cricket Stadium in Doha on Sunday (November 16) evening.

The young opener went off to the mark with a stylish boundary through the point cordon. During the middle of the first innings, when Suryavanshi was already driving at top gear, emerging Pakistani pacer Shahid Aziz spiced up the matter in a verbal way. But those words were barely able to intimidate the 15-year-old Indian batter, as he continued dealing with boundaries.

The southpaw hit Aziz for back-to-back boundaries during the sixth over of the first innings of the game. Naman Dhir was the other batter at that moment for the India A team, who also got his first boundary of the match. Suryavanshi utilized the power play as much as possible.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi replied with boundary against Shahid Aziz

Some of his shots were not directed by a good connection between the bat and the ball, but still, those shots had enough power to clear the circle and race to the boundary ropes. The teen sensation started well but was not able to touch the half-century mark.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi was dismissed for 45 off 28. Sufiyan Muqeem was the bowler. The India A team was 93 for 3 after 10 overs of play. Against Muqeem, the left-handed batter began the over with a boundary and a six. But a mistimed shot carried the ball towards the long-on area, where Mohammad Faiq took a brilliant catch on the boundary.

Now it's time for the emerging Indian cricketers to take on the archrival Pakistan (IND A vs PAK A). After the Asia Cup 2025, these two nations are face-to-face for the ACC Men's Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025 title. This time too, India is the favorite to win the tournament. Spotlights will be on young talent Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who already showed his firepower in the tournament before. Against the Pakistan A team, the India A team batter will try to do what he can do best—hitting the ball all over the park. Along with Suryavanshi, Punjab Kings star batter Priyansh Arya will be there in the middle of West End Park International Cricket Stadium in Doha to build a solid foundation as a top-order batter. It is a crucial match for Jitesh Sharma as well. He is the captain of the India A team.

Toss Update: 

Pakistan A team won the toss and elected to bowl first. Which means the batter from Bihar will be at the front to face the Pakistani bowlers first.
