India's Under-19 team delivered a batting masterclass in the U19 Asia Cup, posting a mammoth 408/7 against Malaysia Under-19s in their Group A clash at The Sevens Stadium, Dubai.

The match, part of the Asian Cricket Council Under-19s Asia Cup 2025-26, saw India elect to bat first after Malaysia won the toss and chose to field. Openers set a solid foundation, but it was Abhigyan Kundu's unbeaten 209 off 125 balls—featuring 16 fours and 9 sixes—that propelled India to an unprecedented total. Milestones included India reaching 350 in 46.4 overs and 400 in 48.5 overs, with Vedant Trivedi and Vaibhav Suryavanshi also notching half-centuries.[2][1]

Malaysia's bowlers fought back in the death overs, with Muhammad Akram claiming an impressive five wickets. Early breakthroughs saw Malaysia reduce India to 38/7 in a simulated scorecard view, but Kundu's heroic knock ensured a massive total. Powerplay 1 yielded just 21 runs for 3 wickets, highlighting early pressure.[2]

Chasing 409, Malaysia stumbled at 38/6 after 16.1 overs, with a current run rate of 2.35 against a required 8.18. Key dismissals included Mohammad Hairil (10, 5.4 ov), Muhd Afinid (18, 8.3 ov), and others, leaving them in dire straits.[1][2]
