Another cracker of a game is expected to entertain the viewers as India U19 will have a go at Bangladesh U19 in the second semi-final of the U19 Asia Cup. The much-anticipated contest will be played at the Sharjah Cricket Ground on December 30, Thursday.
Bangladesh are heading into the encounter with five points from two victories and one loss. Their last league match against Sri Lanka was called off midway after an umpire tested positive for Covid-19 in Sharjah. Barring the cancelled game, Bangladesh won both their matches against Kuwait and Nepal by 222 and 154 runs, respectively.
The team had the same number of points as Sri Lanka at the end of the league stage. However, due to their good run rate, they finished at first place while Sri Lanka had to satisfy with the second position in Group B.
India, on the other hand, reached the semi-final after collecting four points during the league stage of the competition. The team finished at the second spot in Group A with two victories and one loss. Though India won against Afghanistan and UAE, they suffered a heart-breaking loss against Pakistan U19 by two wickets.
