New Delhi: The India U19 cricket team is set to take on the United Arab Emirates U19 in a virtual eliminator of Group A in the ongoing ACC U19 Asia Cup. This will be the final round matches for Group A teams and it will determine the semifinals slots apparently.
The Mohamed Amaan-led side started its campaign on a poor note, going down to arch-rivals Pakistan by 43 runs in Dubai. Pakistan opener Shazaib Khan broke a flurry of records during his scintillating 159 off 147 balls which cruised his team to a sizeable 281 for 7. Pace bowler Ali Raza’s 3 for 36 bowling figures were instrumental in bundling up the Indian innings at 238 in 47.1 overs.
Barring all-rounder Nikhil Kumar’s classic 67, the Indian batters lacked intent and shot-making calls to pull off the chase. India defeated Japan U19 by 211 runs in the next match riding on the excellence skipper Mohamed Amaan (122).
The UAE U19 team trounced Japan by 273 runs in its tournament opener with opener Aryan Saxena (150) powering the side to a significant total of 325 for 7 before left-arm wrist spinner Uddish Suri spun the web around the Japanese batting unit, claiming 4 for 2 from his 5.2 over spell to skittle the opponents for 52 for 10 in 24.1 overs.
UAE lost to Pakistan by 69 runs in the second match. The winner between India U19 and UAE U19 is likely to seal the second semi-final spot from Group A with Pakistan already having sealed their spot.
