Led by captain Yash Dhull, India A have been one of the most dominant teams in the ongoing ACC Emerging Teams Asia Cup 2023.
The Indian cricket team started their ACC Emerging Teams Asia Cup 2023 campaign by beating United Arab Emirates by eight wickets, before thrashing Nepal by nine wickets in their second Group B encounter.

Meanwhile, captain Yash Dhull, Abhishek Sharma and Sai Sudharsan have grabbed the limelight with their dazzling batting performances in the ongoing 50-over tournament.
In the bowling department, pacers Harshit Rana, Rajvardhan Hangargekar, spinners Nishant Sindhu and Manav Suthar have been impressive for India A.
On the other hand, the Mohammad Haris-led Pakistan cricket team have also booked their place in the ACC Emerging Teams Asia Cup 2023 semi-finals. They beat Nepal by four wickets in their opening clash and followed it up by hammering United Arab Emirates by a massive 184 runs.
Pakistan A are currently placed second in the Group B standings due to an inferior net run-rate.

Fast bowlers Shahnawaz Dahani, Mohammad Wasim Jr and right-arm off-spinner Qasim Akram have shone with the ball for Pakistan A.
