Dubai, UAE – India’s Under-19 cricket team bowled out Bangladesh for 198 runs in the final of the U19 Asia Cup on Sunday, setting a target for their opponents. A combined bowling effort saw Yudhajit Guha, Chetan Sharma, and Kiran Chormale each claim two wickets. Md Rizan Hossan top-scored for Bangladesh with 47, while Mohammad Shihab James contributed a crucial 40.

Bangladesh’s innings got off to a shaky start, losing early wickets and finding themselves at 66/3 after 19 overs. A 62-run partnership between James and Hossan steadied the ship, but the team ultimately fell short of a challenging total, failing to reach the 200-run mark. Farid Faysal added a late 39 runs. India employed seven bowlers, with Nikhil Kumar the only one to remain wicketless. Kiran Chormale, speaking after the innings, stated that India’s bowlers executed their plans well, focusing on building pressure through dot balls and limiting Bangladesh to a total below their target of 230. India will now chase the 199-run target in their pursuit of the U19 Asia Cup title.
