ICC U19 World Cup: Former Pakistan captain and Under-19 team mentor Sarfaraz Ahmed wants his charges to beat India in the final of the Junior Asia Cup in Dubai on Sunday, an encore of the 2017 Champions Trophy.

Pakistan lost the Group match against India in Birmingham by 124 runs but in a brilliant show won the Champions Trophy final by 180 runs at The Oval.

Here too, Pakistan Under-19 lost the Group match by a big 90 runs and now faces another opportunity to win the title, first time in an outright manner.
