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.

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.

Azizul Hakim Tamim, the captain of Bangladesh Under-19, says that it is disappointing. Adds that a few dropped chances in the field, and then DLS came into play, but it is all about learning. Mentions that he is very happy with the bowling performance of Al Fahad, who took a fifer. Says that it went wrong when he played that shot, and it was caught. Tells that it was a nice game for him, but he would have liked to be on the winning side. Ends by saying that whenever they play against India, there is intensity and they are a good team, but now he is looking forward to the next game.

Vihaan Malhotra is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his game-changing spell of bowling. He starts off by describing the match as a nerve-breaker but is relieved that his team emerged victorious in the end. He mentions that the discussion before the crucial phase was simple, with the team believing they could defend the target from Bangladesh's position at 90/2. Vihaan talks about his impressive spell of 4/14, saying that he backed himself and his skills, particularly his ability to mix up his yorkers effectively. He views playing games like this as a great opportunity and acknowledges that such moments are what make the sport special.

Presentation Time...

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.

28.3

Henil Patel To Iqbal Hossain OUT!

OUT! TAKEN! GAME. SET. MATCH. The athleticism is just spot on, and who else, it is the man of the moment, Vihaan Malhotra, who takes an exceptional catch to wrap the game up. A bit slower and fuller, around the sixth stump. Iqbal Hossain plants his front foot toward the leg side and leans forward to heave it across the line, but only manages to get the toe end of the bat. The ball flies toward the wide long on region. Vihaan Malhotra is standing much ahead of the boundary line, so he runs to his right, leaps up, scoops the catch over his head, and rolls on his back for a safe landing. This is simply outstanding. India Under-19 beat Bangladesh Under-19 by 18 runs (DLS method).

28.2

Henil Patel To Iqbal Hossain

Swing and a miss! Short of a length and around off, Iqbal Hossain looks to pull it away but fails to connect. 19 needed in 4 now. Every ball needs to go to the fence or over it now.

28.1

Henil Patel To Iqbal Hossain

A yorker to start off the final ball. Iqbal Hossain looks for the reverse scoop but misses.

Bangladesh Under-19 need 19 runs in the last over with one wicket in hand. Here comes Henil Patel to try to defend it.

27.4

Vihaan Malhotra To Saad Islam Razin

Yorker, on off, Saad Islam Razin looks to flick but gets a slight inside edge and thumps on the pad. The ball rolls toward short fine leg and gets a single.

Rizan Hossan has been asked to wait. The umpires want to check whether the keeper, Abhigyan Kundu, got his gloves in front of the stumps before the batter played his shot. The replay shows that he is fine, and India Under-19 and Rizan has to walk back. Saad Islam Razin is the last man in for Bangladesh Under-19.

27.3

Vihaan Malhotra To Rizan Hossan OUT!

OUT! TAKEN! Another wicket down and India are just one wicket away from sealing off the victory! This is slower through the air again from Vihaan Malhotra, initially aims to bowl the yorker, but spills out and offers a low full toss. Hossan looks to lash it downtown, but gets a thick outside edge. The ball loops toward the deep cover region, where Henil Patel reverse scoops the catch. The Indian players are all pumped up as they know Rizan was the last hope for Bangladesh.

Vihaan Malhotra To Iqbal Hossain

27.1

Vihaan Malhotra To Al Fahad OUT!

OUT! FAHAD IS RUN OUT! Short of a length, around the sixth stump. Al Fahad steers it toward wide of short third, but Vedant Trivedi is quick to move to his left. Fahad sets off early to take the single, but Rizan Hossan rejects it a bit late. Fahad scoots back to his home and drags his bat, but Kundu does well to collect the throw and break the stumps. The decision has been sent upstairs, where the third umpire sees that Fahad is just an inch away from the crease when Kundu dislodges the stumps.

Khilan A. Patel To Al Fahad

Fuller, angling in, down the leg side, Al Fahad looks to flick it but misses and thumps the pad. The ball rolls toward the square leg and gets a leg bye.

Bangladesh Under-19 are digging a hole for themselves. Al Fahad walks out to bat now.

26.4

Khilan A. Patel To Farid Hasan Faysal OUT!

OUT! TAKEN! Khilan A. Patel gets his second and India Under-19 are slowly edging towards the win here. This is slower through the air, fuller, on middle. Farid Hasan Faysal gets down, takes it on the full to scoop it, but as there is no real pace behind the ball, he gets no power. The ball loops toward in front of D. Deepesh in the short fine leg region. He takes a step forward and dives to take the catch. Bangladesh Under-19 are 138/7 now.

26.3

Khilan A. Patel To Rizan Hossan

Fuller, on middle, Rizan Hossan flicks it to mid-wicket for a single.

26.2

Khilan A. Patel To Rizan Hossan

FOUR! Excellent shot that is! Much fuller, on middle and off, Rifat Beg shimmies down the track and lofts it using his bottom hand toward the right of the long off fielder for four runs. That's a much needed boundary.
