Asia Cricket Council (ACC) chairman and Pakistan’s Interior Affairs Minister Mohsin Naqvi exposed his double standards on Sunday (Dec 21) during the U19 Asia Cup final. Yet to handover India its Asia Cup senior trophy for their win in September, Naqvi raised eyebrows by handing over Pakistan its Asia Cup U19 trophy on Sunday. The double-standard behaviour by Naqvi comes less than three months after India had beaten Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025 final in Dubai.<h2>Naqvi showcases double standards</h2>Just months after denying India’s rightful trophy for the Asia Cup 2025 triumph, Naqvi was on his way to Dubai in the early hours of Sunday. After India lost to Pakistan by a massive 191 runs, he congratulated Pakistan for its win and later handed out medals. This has seen angry reactions from the Indian crowd, who have been waiting to see their trophy, yet to be handed out.&nbsp;Naqvi was even seen posing with some players, while India yet again boycotted the presentation ceremony.<h2>What happened in the final?</h2>It was a day to forget for India in the U19 Asia Cup final on Sunday (Dec 21) as they were beaten by Pakistan in a one-sided affair.

One-down Rasheed made his runs in 108 balls to help India post 248 for eight after being invited to bat.

Rasheed paced his innings to perfection after India had lost both their openers -- Angkrish Raghuvanshi (16) and Harnoor Singh (15) -- inside the 50-run mark, in the 17th overs.

The Indian bowlers, then, produced a cohesive effort to bundle out Bangladesh for 140 runs in 38.2 overs.

Ariful Islam top-scored for Bangladesh with a 77-ball 42, while opener Mahfijul Islam made 26.

Bangladesh's chase never got going as the Indian bowlers picked up wickets at regular intervals, with only Ariful providing some resistance.

For India, Ravi Kumar (2/22), Vicky Ostwal (2/25), Raj Bawa (2/26) and Rajvardhan Hangargekar (2/36) shared eight wickets between them, while Kaushal Tambe (1/5) and Nishant Sindhu (1/25) picked up a wicket each.

Earkier, the Indian openers found the going tough and it was only after their dismissals that the run rate started to improve.

India lost Nishant Sindhu (5) cheaply before Rasheed and skipper Yash Dhull (26 off 29) stitched 41 runs for the fourth wicket to stabilise the innings.

Raj Bawa (23), Vicky Ostwal (28 not out off 18 balls) and Rajvardhan Hangargekar (16) also played useful hands to provide Rasheed support from the other end.

Even though it wasn't an extravagant knock from Rasheed, he did enough to give the Indian bowlers a target to defend. He struck three boundaries and one six during his unconquered innings.

For Bangladesh U-19, left-arm orthodox spinner Rakibul Hasan was the pick of the bowlers with figures of three for 41 from his 10 overs.

India will face Sri Lanka in the title clash in Dubai on Friday.
