Team India all out for 177 runs

Bangladesh bowled out for 177 runs in the final of the ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup, despite a half-century from the in-form Yashasvi Jaswal, thanks to a superb bowling performance by bowlers led by Abhishek Das. Opener Jaiswal shared 88 runs in 121 balls with the help of eight fours and a six, besides sharing 94 for the second wicket with Tilak Verma (38) and 42 runs for the fourth wicket with Dhruv Jurel (22). But despite this, Team India collapsed in 47.2 overs.

Apart from these three, no other batsman could reach double digits. India lost the last six wickets by adding just 21 runs. For Bangladesh, Abhishek took three for 40 while Shariful Islam (2 for 31) and Tanjim Hasan Saqib (2 for 28) took two each.

Bangladesh captain Akbar Ali won the toss and decided to bowl first, after which India's start was very slow. The pair of Jaiswal and Divyansh Saxena, who helped India win by 10 wickets in the semi-final against Pakistan Under-19 team, broke in the seventh over when the team's score was just nine runs.

Shariful and Tanjim put pressure on the Indian opening pair, taking advantage of this, fast bowler Avishek caught Saxena at the backward point by Mahmudul Hasan. Saxena scored two runs in 17 balls. Jaiswal and Verma then finished the innings. Jaswal hit the first four of the innings on Tanjim in the eighth over and then bowled a boundary on Avishek too.

Jaiswal completed the half-century of the team's runs in the 17th over with a four over Shamim Hussain. Bangladesh bowlers put pressure on the Indian batsmen in the middle overs. Verma ended India's drought of 50-ball boundary with fours on Abhishek in the 25th over. Jaiswal completed the fourth half-century of the current World Cup in 89 balls with a single off Touhid's heart.

Jaiswal brought India's score to 100 runs with a six over Tanjim in the 29th over, but in the same over, Varma caught Sharif at deep backward point. He hit three fours facing 65 balls. Captain Priyam Garg, after scoring seven runs in nine balls, gave a very easy catch to Tanjim off Rakibul's ball, which made India's 114 for three.

Jaiswal played some attractive shots after that but Shariful gave him a double blow in the 40th over, sending him and Siddhesh Veer (00) to the pavilion on consecutive balls. Dhruv Jurel was also run out after a misunderstanding with Atharva Ankolekar after scoring 22 runs in 38 balls. Ravi Bishnoi (02) was also run out while Avishek sent Ankolekar (03) and Karthik Tyagi (00) to the pavilion. Tanjim ended India's innings by sending Sushant Mishra (03) to the pavilion.
