The umpires can be seen having an intense chat with the pitch curator. However, the overall news is much the same - the toss has been delayed due to a wet outfield at the ICC Academy Ground in Dubai.

The umpire inspection scheduled for 11 AM local time (12:30 PM IST) has been delayed. The reason for this is that there has been a slight drizzle at the venue. While the rain has stopped, clouds are still hovering around the area.

Abhigyan Kundu broke South Africa's Jorich van Schalkwyk's record (145 balls) by scoring the fastest double ton in U-19 ODIs. Kundu's 209 is the second-highest individual score in the history of U-19 ODIs, after van Schalkwyk's 215 against Zimbabwe. However, all his records wont be counted as he achieved the feat against an associate nation. 

14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi is proving his mettle everyday. Starting the U19 Asia Cup campaign with a fiery 171-run knock against UAE, Suryavanshi had a rough day against arch-rivals Pakistan. However, he scored a quick half-century against Malaysia in the last match. He will now aim for another strong knock against Sri Lanka. 

India star Abhigyan Kundu made history on Tuesday as he slammed 209 off 125 balls against Malaysia in a U-19 Asia Cup match in Dubai. Kundu brought up his double century in 121 balls. En route to his double ton, Kundu surpassed Ambati Rayudu (177) to register the highest score by an Indian in U-19 ODI cricket. He also beat Vaibhav Suryavanshi to record the highest individual score of this tournament. Ultimately, Kundu finished on 209 off 125 balls, hitting nine sixes and 17 fours.
