Under-19s Asia Cup 2026 Points Table: Which Teams Are Leading Their Groups Right Now?

A net run rate of +3.176 sits at the top of Group B, and nothing in Group A comes close to it. That single number tells you how differently the two halves of the ACC Men’s Under-19 Asia Cup 2026 have played out. Afghanistan U19 have won all three of their games, while Pakistan U19 lead Group A after two wins from two. Here at BJ Sports, we compared both groups side by side, team by team, to see where the margins are real and where one result could still flip the order.

Two Groups Moving at Different Speeds

On the current numbers, Group B has completed its round-robin, with all four sides on three games played. Group A is a round behind, so every team there still has one match to go. That difference matters when you compare the leaders, because Afghanistan’s place at the top is already banked while Pakistan’s is still provisional.

According to standings tracked by BJ Sports, this is where all eight teams sit right now. Points come first, and net run rate (NRR) breaks any tie on equal points.

Group A: Pakistan Lead, India Lurk on Run Rate

Pakistan U19 have two wins from two and four points, with a net run rate of +0.746. The standout result was their 3-wicket win over India U19, where an unbeaten century partnership dragged the chase back from trouble and turned a tense finish into two precious points. That kind of calm under pressure is rare at youth level, where chases often collapse once the required rate starts to climb.

India and UAE U19 both sit on two points from one win and one loss. India’s +1.439 is the best rate in the group, well clear of UAE’s +0.203, which tells you India’s win was a heavy one. Nepal U19 have no points after two defeats and a -2.531 rate, so even a win in their last game would need a huge swing to matter.

Group B: Afghanistan’s Clean Sweep and the Race Behind

Afghanistan U19 beat Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Malaysia to finish their group games on six points. Their net run rate of +3.176 is the highest in the tournament by a distance, and BJ Sports analysts read that figure as proof of control rather than luck, because winning big three times in a row leaves little room for a fluke.

Bangladesh U19 took second with four points and a +0.913 rate, their only loss coming against Afghanistan. Sri Lanka U19 managed one win for two points and a -0.012 rate, while Malaysia U19 lost all three and carries the weakest figure in the event at -5.079. If the top two from each group advance, as in recent editions, Afghanistan and Bangladesh hold those places.

Comparing the Margins: Where Net Run Rate Really Bites

Put the two leaders side by side, and the contrast is sharp. Afghanistan’s +3.176 is more than four times Pakistan’s +0.746, yet Pakistan sits top with a perfect record all the same. Group B has rewarded dominance, while Group A has rewarded nerve in close finishes, and both routes have produced an unbeaten leader.

The performance metrics on BJ Sports show where Group A gets tricky. India and UAE can both still reach four points, and if teams finish level, net run rate decides the order. India’s +1.439 gives them a cushion that UAE do not have, so UAE would likely need a bigger winning margin to climb past them on equal points. Pakistan’s lower figure is the flip side of winning tight games, and it is the one weakness rivals could exploit if results go against them.

What to Watch in Group A’s Final Round

Each Group A side has one game left. Pakistan needs only a win to finish top, and even a defeat would leave them on four points with a positive run rate. For India and UAE, a win is the minimum requirement, and the size of that win could matter just as much as the result itself.

Reading the Under-19s Asia Cup 2026 Points Table Before the Knockouts

The early lesson is that consistency and margin work together. Afghanistan combined both, Pakistan leaned on composure, and India’s run rate keeps them alive despite the defeat. Bangladesh did enough to stay clear of the chasing pack, which in a four-team group is often all a side needs. Sri Lanka’s near-zero rate shows how thin the line is between a respectable campaign and a forgettable one.

Group A will settle in the final round, and net run rate could separate India and UAE if they finish level on points. Check back after every result, because the Under-19s Asia Cup 2026 Points Table can change shape within a single afternoon.
