Bangladesh beat India by three wickets to clinch their maiden Under-19 World Cup title. Coming back from a collapse, Bangladesh captain Akbar Ali marshaled the lower order brilliantly to see his team through and register a historic win. Bangladesh bowled and fielded brilliantly to restrict India to 177 after winning the toss and electing to bowl first. Yashasvi Jaiswal's 88 was the only bright spot in India's batting lineup as Bangladesh kept the defending champions under pressure from the go. Bangladesh got off to a flyer with their opener putting on 50 runs before Ravi Bishnoi wreaked havoc with four wickets that swung the game in India's way. But Bangladesh captain Akbar Ali kept his calm and despite more wickets falling, took Bangladesh just inches away from making history. Opener Parvez Hossain Emon, who retired hurt in the middle with cramps, came back to top-score for Bangladesh with 47 runs. (SCORECARD)

Bangladesh were well in control until Ravi Bishnoi was unleashed and since then the match swung one way and then another as India kept picking wickets, but in the end Bangladesh were deserving winners. They were electric in the field, disciplined with their bowling and resilient with the bat
Bangladesh are 110/6 at the half-way mark. They need 68 runs from 150 balls, but India just need four wickets. The match is finely balanced and we are in for a thrilling last 25 overs here.
Avishek Das this time goes for the big pull on a short delivery and gets a huge edge. Kartik Tyagi runs in from midwicket to take a good catch. Bangladesh 102/6
