Pakistan U19 vs Nepal U19: Asia Cup on 10 November at 10 am PKT in Muscat, Squad and Semi-Final Path
Pakistan U19 play Nepal U19 in the Asia Cup on 10 November at 10 am PKT in Muscat. See the squad, how the game can decide the semi-finals and knockout dates.
Pakistan U19 play Nepal U19 in their last U19 Asia Cup group match on Tuesday 10 November 2026 at 10:00 am Pakistan time, at OCA Ground 1 in Muscat, Oman. It is the third of Pakistan's three Group A games, after the UAE on 6 November and India on 8 November. The top two in the group reach the semi-finals on 12 November.
Below are the match details, Pakistan's squad, what this game can decide, and the knockout dates. We have not stated the results of the first two games, because we could not read them on an official scorecard page before writing.
Pakistan U19 v Nepal U19 starts at 10 am PKT on 10 November
The match is on Tuesday 10 November 2026 at OCA Ground 1 in Muscat, at 10:00 am PKT. The Pakistan Cricket Board's release of 4 November and the Asian Cricket Council's fixture list give that start. Muscat is one hour ahead of Pakistan, so it is 11:00 am local time.
| Date | Pakistan match | Ground | Start (PKT) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Friday 6 November | Pakistan v UAE | OCA Ground 2 | 10:00 am |
| Sunday 8 November | Pakistan v India | OCA Ground 1 | 10:00 am |
| Tuesday 10 November | Pakistan v Nepal | OCA Ground 1 | 10:00 am |
| Thursday 12 November | Semi-finals | OCA Grounds 1 and 2 | 10:00 am |
| Saturday 14 November | Final | OCA Ground 2 | 10:00 am |
The Indian board's list calls the ground OCC Turf 1. Both are in Muscat and may be two names for one ground. It only matters if you are in Oman and plan to go. Our U19 Asia Cup 2026 schedule has every group game.
The Nepal game can decide Pakistan's semi-final place
Group A has four teams and the top two reach the semi-finals, so Pakistan's third game often decides it. If Pakistan won their first two games, Nepal is a chance to top the group. If they lost one, it becomes a must-win, and net run rate may then decide the order.
Net run rate is a team's scoring rate minus the rate it concedes, over the whole group stage. A big win, or a quick chase, lifts it. That is why the margin against Nepal could matter even if Pakistan win. We have not read the tournament's tie-break rules, because the playing conditions were not on any page we could open.
Two wins from three games is usually enough in a four-team group. That is our own reading, not a published rule. Here is what to check after Sunday's India game:
- Count Pakistan's wins after the UAE and India matches.
- Check India's and the UAE's results against Nepal, which are on the ACC fixture list.
- If two teams can finish level on wins, compare their net run rates.
- Watch the margin on Tuesday, not just the result.
Farhan Yousuf leads the same 15-player squad
Farhan Yousuf captains Pakistan, with Abdul Qadir and Hamza Zahoor as wicketkeepers. The PCB repeated the 15 names it announced on 27 October in its release of 4 November. Mohammad Huzaifa and Niqab Shafiq are the two frontline spinners.
| Group | Players |
|---|---|
| Captain | Farhan Yousuf |
| Wicketkeepers | Abdul Qadir, Hamza Zahoor |
| Batters and all-rounders | Usman Khan, Hayam Khan, Jahangir Bilal, Huzaifa Ahsan, Ahmed Hussain, Hasnain Abbas Dar |
| Spinners | Mohammad Huzaifa, Niqab Shafiq |
| Rest of the attack | Abdul Subhan, Mohammad Seyam, Ali Raza, Rizwanullah |
Thirteen of the 15 were in the side that beat England 3-1 in a Youth ODI series in September. The full background is on our Pakistan U19 squad page. Nepal's squad was not on any official page we could open, so we have not listed it.
Pakistan are the defending champions
Pakistan won the last U19 Asia Cup by beating India by 191 runs in the final in Dubai. So they arrive as title holders. India have won the event more often than anyone, with 8 titles, as our U19 Asia Cup winners list records.
Nepal are in Group A with Pakistan, India and the UAE. Group B has Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Malaysia. The semi-finals are on Thursday 12 November and the final on Saturday 14 November, both at 10:00 am PKT on the PCB's list.
Pakistan's game against India on Sunday, and what it means for the table, is in our Pakistan U19 vs India U19 preview.
The broadcast in Pakistan is not confirmed
We could not find an official notice naming a TV channel or app for the U19 Asia Cup in Pakistan. Tapmad's home page did not list the event when it was checked on 7 November. So we cannot point you to a confirmed stream yet.
Check the PCB's own social accounts and the ACC website on the morning of the match. Do not install a "free live" app from a link in a comment or a WhatsApp forward. Those apps often carry adverts or malware. The same day, the senior side is in the second day of the Rawalpindi Test, as our Pakistan sports schedule this week shows.

How we verified this
What we checked, where we read it, and what we could not confirm.
The fixtures, times and squad come from the PCB release of 4 November and the Asian Cricket Council fixture list, as read for our U19 pages on 5 November. The PCB website refused our connection on 7 November, and the ACC site loads its fixtures by script, so we could not re-read them today. We will add the result once an official scorecard shows it.
