Sun Dec 08 08:19:45 UTC 2024: ## India and Bangladesh to Clash in U19 Asia Cup Final
**Dubai, UAE:** The India U19 and Bangladesh U19 cricket teams will face off in the final of the 2024 Under-19 Asia Cup on Sunday in Dubai. India secured their place in the final after defeating Sri Lanka in the semi-final, while Bangladesh triumphed over Pakistan.
India’s Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who has scored two consecutive half-centuries, will be a key player to watch. Despite losing their opening match against Pakistan, India has rebounded strongly, winning three consecutive matches to reach the final. Team India’s strong batting lineup, particularly Suryavanshi (167 runs in 4 matches) and Ayush Mhatre (175 runs and 5 wickets), pose a significant threat to Bangladesh.
The final promises a thrilling contest between two evenly matched teams. The Bangladesh team will be looking to upset the Indian team and claim the Asia Cup title. The match is set to begin on Sunday. The full squads are as follows:
