Ayush Mhatre, the victorious skipper of India Under-19, starts off by praising Kundu and Vaibhav for their good batting, but emphasizes that other batters need to step up and contribute as well. He describes the track as sticky, especially in the back of a length area, but praises Kundu and Vaibhav for batting well on it. Ayush shows off his cap, which is signed by all his teammates, and explains that wearing it gives him motivation and boosts his morale. He mentions that during the rain break, the team had a strong belief in themselves and trusted each other to defend the total. This confidence and team unity seemed to be a key factor in their success.

Phew! A game that had it all – rain, thrilling moments, and calmness under pressure, and in the end, it is India Under-19 who make it two wins in a row, while Bangladesh Under-19 begin their campaign with a defeat but plenty of positives to take away. It does not get any easier for them, though, as they face New Zealand U-19 in their next game on Tuesday, 20 January. India, meanwhile, have a week off before returning to action on Saturday, 24 January, against the Kiwis as well. Both matches will start at 7.30 am GMT (1.00 pm IST), and as always, you can join us early for all the build-up. Until then, cheers and goodbye.

Earlier in the game, India Under-19 posted a competitive total, built around a pair of excellent half-centuries from Abhigyan Kundu and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, along with useful contributions from Kanishk Chouhan. Al Fahad was the standout bowler for Bangladesh Under-19 with a superb five-wicket haul, while Iqbal Hossain and Azizul Hakim Tamim shared four wickets between them, and Sheikh Parvez Jibon chipped in with one. However, a few dropped chances in the field may well have cost them the game.

For India Under-19, D. Deepesh struck early, but they struggled for a while to contain the batters before Kanishk Chouhan broke the key partnership ahead of the rain delay. With 165 runs to defend in 29 overs, India showed immense calm under pressure, and when Ayush Mhatre turned to Vihaan Malhotra, the game changed completely. Malhotra ran through the middle order with a superb 4/14 in four overs, leaving Bangladesh in tatters, and then capped it off with a stunning catch to seal the win.

Despite losing an early wicket, Bangladesh Under-19 recovered through a 56-run partnership between Rifat Beg and skipper Azizul Hakim Tamim and were comfortably placed at 90/2 when rain arrived. After the restart, they were ahead of the DLS target and remained so as light drizzle continued. However, once conditions improved, they lost their nerve, chasing big shots despite a modest asking rate. Tamim’s composed fifty kept them in the hunt, but with wickets falling regularly, Bangladesh fell short by 18 runs.

How did Bangladesh Under-19 lose this one? Well, that is exactly why they say the team that holds its nerve under pressure gets over the line. For this young Bangladesh side, it is a learning phase and a perfect platform to get better in the future. As for India Under-19, they were nowhere near a winning position after the resumption, but they showed incredible fight and character to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
