Bangladesh emerged victorious in the U19 Men’s Asia Cup, securing the title with an impressive 59-run win against India in the final held in Dubai.
After opting to bat first, Bangladesh put up a solid total of 198 runs on the board. The team’s batting effort was led by crucial contributions from Mohammad Shihab James, Rizan Hossan, and Farid Hasan, who played key roles in building the innings.
In response, India’s batting lineup struggled against Bangladesh’s disciplined bowling attack. They were bowled out for just 139 runs in a little over 35 overs. Bangladesh’s bowlers, Iqbal Hossain Emon and Azizul Hakim, delivered standout performances, taking three wickets each and keeping the pressure on the Indian batters throughout the innings.
India’s batting highlights came from Amaan, Hardik Raj, and KP Karthikeya, but their efforts weren’t enough to chase down the target.
This victory is a significant milestone for Bangladesh’s young cricketers, showcasing their talent and potential on an international stage.
