India U19 Vs Bangladesh U19 Match Report

Electing to bowl first, the Bangladeshi side were off to a flyer as they reduced India to 31/2 within 7.2 overs. However, India restored stability with vital knocks from Adarsh Singh and captain Uday Saharan as the former scored 76 off 96 balls, and the latter scored 64 off 94 balls. The partnership was brought to an end with the dismissal of Adarsh at 147 and after a good fightback from both the sides time and time again, India reached 251/7 within their 50 overs.

In reply, the India side showed no mercy to the Bangladesh side as their batting was a complete menace due to the wrecking and havoc caused by the excellent Indian bowling as they clearly had revenge on their mind after their heart-breaking semi-final loss in the Under 19 Asia Cup at the hands of the same opposition.

The Bangladesh batters were decimated for a platry score of 167 in 46 overs as Indian side didn't just take wickets, but dried up runs to pile further misery on the Bangladesh side.

Opener Adarsh Singh was awarded the man of the match award for his excellent 76 that came clutch in a crunch situation and India will now take on Ireland on January 25.
