Young Tigers crush India to retain Asia Cup title
Bangladesh Under-19 proved their intention to come
all guns blazing against India preciously right as they thrashed the mighty
sub-continent opponents by 59 runs to retain the Asia Cup trophy at Dubai
International Cricket Stadium today.
Azizul Hakim Tamim-led Bangladesh were bowled out for just 198 runs in 49.1
overs but the low total could not deter them. They clawed back strongly with
the pacer Iqbal Hossain Emon (three wickets for 24 runs) leading India rout
in bowling to dismiss them for 139 runs in 35.2 overs.
Hakim could not do anything worthy with the willow in the most crucial game, a
thing that was the reason behind Bangladesh meager total. But he amended
with the bowling to scalp three wickets for eight runs.
No India batters could cross 30 runs mark with the highest 26 coming from the
willow of Indian captain Mohamed Amaan. Hardik Raj put some resistance
towards the end but Hakim trapped him leg-before for 24.
