It's like a dream come true, Bangladesh U-19 captain Akbar Ali after winning World Cup
Bangladesh U-19 team
Bangladesh Under-19 team lifts the ICC U-19 World Cup after beating Indian team by 3 wickets.
The Bangla Tigers have been declared the World Champions for the first time in the history of cricket. Their commitment towards the tournament was evident as the team arrived a month before the tournament began. They began training for the cup before any team's arrival.
India has won the U-19 World cup four times (2000, 2008, 2012, 2018).
The final face-off between the 'underdogs' Bangladesh and 'mighty' India was scheduled on Sunday. India was off to a great start, they were at 103/1. But post-Tilak Verma's dismissal, Indian middle-order fell consistently until they were all out on 177 in 47.2 overs.
Indian opener Yashaswi Jaiswal scored the most for the team.
In reply, Bangladesh had a slumpy start, they were down with a loss of six wickets at 106. Until their skipper, Akbar Ali's 43 (not out) got the team back on track. A brief rain break meant a revised target of 170 from 46 overs, with Rakibul Hasan scoring the winning run to secure a three-wicket victory. Bangladesh chased the total in just 42.1 overs.
