India and Bangladesh clash in the final of the ACC U19 Men’s Asia Cup 2024 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium today.
India, the most successful team in the tournament’s history with eight titles, aims to reclaim the crown after a three-year gap. Defending champions Bangladesh, who eliminated India in the 2023 edition, will look to retain their title.
India’s batting, led by opener Ayush Mhatre (175 runs) and 13-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi (167 runs), has powered their campaign after an early loss to Pakistan. They stormed into the final with a dominant semi-final win over Sri Lanka.
Bangladesh has relied on their bowlers, with Md. Al Fahad and Md. Iqbal Hasan Emon leading the wicket charts with 10 each, securing a clinical semi-final victory over Pakistan.
The final promises a fierce battle between India’s batting firepower and Bangladesh’s bowling arsenal.
