India U-19 Secures Dominant 211-Run Victory Over Japan in Asia Cup

Led by an unbeaten century from captain Mohammed Amaan, India bounced back from their loss to Pakistan with a commanding performance in Sharjah.

India posted a massive total of 339/6 in 50 overs, with Mohammed Amaan scoring an unbeaten 122 and key contributions from KP Karthikeya (57) and Ayush Mhatre (54).
Japan was restricted to 128/8 in their chase, with India's bowlers sharing six wickets; Japan's Hugo Kelly top-scored with a gritty 50.
