**DUBAI –** Bangladesh has secured a stunning victory in the final of the ACC Under-19 Asia Cup, defeating tournament favorites India by 59 runs. This marks the second consecutive title for the young Tigers, following their maiden win in 2023.
The match, held in Dubai on Sunday, saw Bangladesh post a competitive 198 runs batting first. Their bowlers then delivered a clinical performance, restricting India well below the target. This win continues Bangladesh’s dominance in the tournament, building on their impressive 2023 victory over the United Arab Emirates.
India, historically the most successful team in the Under-19 Asia Cup with eight titles from ten previous tournaments, saw their hopes for a ninth title dashed. This is their second consecutive final loss, having also fallen short in 2023. The tournament, established in 1989 by the Asian Cricket Council, showcases the best young cricketing talent across Asia. This year’s final underlined Bangladesh’s emergence as a major force in the Under-19 arena.
