The ACC U19 Men’s Asia Cup title match between Bangladesh and India would pit the latter’s sharp bowling against India’s powerful batting.
At the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai on Sunday, the two teams will compete for the ACC U19 Men’s Asia Cup title. It will pit Bangladesh’s sharp bowling against India’s powerful batting. India, who have won eight titles in the tournament’s history, will be eager to reclaim their title following a three-year hiatus. The defending champions, Bangladesh, who defeated India in the last tournament, are keen to win the championship again in the 2023 semi-final.
India’s batting has been led by 13-year-old phenom Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who has hit 167 runs in the competition, and opener Ayush Mhatre, who has made 175 runs.
In contrast, Bangladesh has depended on their bowlers, as evidenced by the top-scoring 10 wickets apiece taken by Md. Al Fahad and Md. Iqbal Hasan Emon.
India has launched a mission of revival. The squad recovered spectacularly from a poor start with a defeat to Pakistan to defeat Sri Lanka in the semifinals, completing the victory with 28 overs remaining.Bangladesh has also been reliable throughout the competition. They defeated Sri Lanka by seven wickets in the semi-final to guarantee their final position, but they only lost once in the group stage.
Given that Bangladesh won the previous year’s tournament, Indian captain Mohamed Amaan and his squad would be keen to correct the record and reclaim their supremacy.
