ICC U19 World Cup 2020: India U19 vs Bangladesh U19 Final - When And Where To Watch & Everything You Need To Know

ICC U19 World Cup 2020: India U19 vs Bangladesh U19 Final – When And Where To Watch & Everything You Need To Know; And, it’s an Asian Final at South Africa in the ICC U19 World Cup 2020. The Indian U19 team led by Priyam Garg and Bangladesh U19 team led by Akbar Ali reached final without being beaten once in the tournament so far. With all the players in either camp looking in fine form, an exciting contest is at the store for the big day.

The stunning century by Yashasvi Jaiswal and the collective bowling effort of the bowlers helped India make a light work of Pakistan. They displayed high-quality cricketing skills to show their calibre to the world.

Bangladesh Reached Final For The First Time In U19 World Cup:

On the other hand, Bangladesh U19 cricket team has created history by storming into the final of U19 World Cup for the 1st time. Led by captain Akbar Ali, Bangladesh thrashed New Zealand by 7 wickets in the 2nd semi-final on Thursday in Potchefstroom, South Africa.

Chasing a modest total of 212 after winning the toss and opting to bowl, Bangladesh lost early wickets inside the 1st powerplay. Reeling at 32 for 2 in 8.2 overs, Bangladesh needed a strong partnership and Mahmudul Hasan Joy and Towhid Hindoy provided the team with just that. The duo added 68 runs for the 3rd wicket to steady the ship.

Mahmudul Hasan Joy scored 100 as he joined an elite list of cricketers to have hit a hundred in the semi-finals of U19 World Cups. Bangladesh will hope him to deliver once again for the team. The form of Towhid is a fruitful factor for Bangladesh while openers need to be wary of the Indian front-line fast bowlers.

Priyam Garg hopes his side to deliver for one last time to lift the Championship for a consecutive time. The team will rely on their brilliant bowling department and the likes of Jaiswal, Saxena and the skipper himself to make things fall in place. All in all, a thriller is expected on Sunday, as both teams have enough firepower to deliver for their respective teams.
