Champions Again! Indian U-19 Team Beat Bangladesh In A Thriller By 5 Runs To Win Asia Cup
What a win for our young boys!
It was a game worthy of a final as India U-19 side beat Bangladesh by 5 runs in a thriller to lift and retain the Asia Cup.

On a pitch that didn't look too batting friendly, India were defending a paltry 106 to defend their crown. It was going to be a daunting task to restrict Bangladesh but Indian bowlers showed character and fight to bundle out the Tigers for 101.
