India Vs Bangladesh U19 Asia Cup Final Live Score Updates: It's indeed a sad day for Indian cricket fans. After Rohit Sharma's India lost to Australia in the pink-ball Test and the Women in Blue surrendering to the Aussies, the Indians colts too cut a sorry figure as they lost to Bangladesh in the final of the U-19 Asia Cup in Dubai.
Opting to bowl first, the Indians did a pretty decent job to restrict Bangladesh for 198 in 49.1 overs. In reply, India never had the start they wanted losing both openers cheaply. The scoreboard pressure also played a part as wickets kept falling for India at regular intervals.

Bangladesh will rely heavily on their bowling duo of Mohammad Al Fahad and Mohammad Iqbal Hasan Emon, who have taken 10 wickets each so far in the competition.
India's Ayush Mhatre and 13-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi have been among runs. Suryavanshi, who became the youngest to bag an IPL contract, faltered in his first two games, but regained form to score consecutive fiftes against UAE and Sri Lanka. Mhatre, too, has been crucial in giving India slod starts at the top.
India are the most successful side in the competition, having won the title eight times. For Bangladesh, they defeated India las year to bag maiden crown.
The story is similar for Bangladesh too as they lost to Sri Lanka but won against Nepal and Afghanistan. In the semifinal, Bangladesh defeated Pakistan.
India started the tournament on a losing note, surrendering to Pakistan. But they bounced back with big wins against Japan and UAE before getting better of Sri Lanka in the semifinal.
Hello and welcome for the one last time in the U-19 Asia Cup final as India take on Bangladesh in a rematch of previous edition's summit clash.
