Saim Ayub gives baby-cradle send-off to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi in Asian Games final

Pakistan all-rounder Saim Ayub produced a baby-cradle celebration after dismissing India's 15-year-old opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi in the Asian Games men's cricket final on Saturday. Sooryavanshi had scored 15 off nine balls, including two sixes, before edging an Abrar Ahmed delivery to wicketkeeper Usman Khan.

Shreyas Iyer won the toss and elected to bat first at Korogi Sports Park in Nisshin. India fielded an unchanged XI, while Pakistan persisted with four spinners on a surface offering turn and bounce.

India reached the final after beating Sri Lanka by 124 runs in the semi-final. Pakistan advanced by defeating Bangladesh in a rain-shortened semi-final. The teams did not exchange handshakes at the toss.
