DUBAI/SHARJAH, UAE – The ACC U-19 Asia Cup 2024 semi-finals are set to take place on December 6th, with two highly anticipated matches promising exciting cricket. Pakistan U-19s will face Bangladesh U-19s at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, while India U-19s will battle Sri Lanka U-19s at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.

Pakistan U-19s, topping Group A, enter the semi-finals on the back of a dominant 180-run victory over Japan U-19s. Shahzaib Khan leads their batting with 336 runs, and Abdul Subhan spearheads their bowling attack with 8 wickets. Bangladesh U-19s, runners-up in Group B, will be looking to bounce back from a narrow 7-run defeat to Sri Lanka U-19s. Azizul Hakim Tamim’s 163 runs and Md Al Fahad’s 9 wickets are key strengths for Bangladesh.

The second semi-final pits India U-19s (Group A runners-up) against Sri Lanka U-19s (Group B winners). India secured a comfortable 10-wicket win over UAE U-19s in their last match, with Ayush Mhatre (141 runs) and Yudhajit Guha (5 wickets) as key performers. Sri Lanka’s success is built on Sharujan Shanmuganathan’s 168 runs and Praveen Maneesha’s 7 wickets, demonstrated by their 7-run victory over Bangladesh.

Pre-match predictions favor Pakistan to defeat Bangladesh, and India to overcome Sri Lanka. However, these predictions are subject to change based on final team line-ups.
