U-19 Asia Cup: India beat Sri Lanka in the final by 144 runs to lift Asia Cup trophy.

U-19 Indian team

India secured the Under-19 Asia Cup, beating Sri Lanka by 144 runs in the final match. This is India's 6th title in seven edition of the U-19 competition, while in a year ago India failed to win trophy when Afghanistan secured the trophy. India and Sri Lanka both came to the finals without losing any match in the tournaments, however it was India who at last won the Asia cup U-19.

It was a clinical execution by the young men dressed in blue as they batted first and posted a whopping score of 304/3 in 50 overs. Yashasvi Jaiswal gave the ideal stage by scoring 85 off 113 balls yet was evacuated before getting to the hundred run breakthrough in the final match. PrabhSimran Singh and Ayush Badoni stole the show later on with speedy fire fifties to assemble 110 runs from only 55 balls. India made 113 runs in the last 10 overs and 79 runs coming just in the last five overs itself.



Pursuing 305 runs in a final match, was continually going to be an extreme task the Srilankans while they lost early wickets. After Mohit Jangra expelled captain Nipun Dananjaya, it was over for the Lankans. Unforgiving Tyagi rose as the star of the night with unbelievable knocking down some pins figures of 6/38 and was pronounced the Man of the Match. Yashasvi Jaiswal wound up as the most noteworthy run-getter in the entire tournament scoring a whooping (318 runs) and announced as Man of the Series

Indian Captain Pawan Shah, who missed the finals because of injury, communicated his pleasure on his team's execution. Talking at the post-coordinate introduction service, he stated, “Yes, unfortunately, I missed out due to an injury but I am happy because my team won. It was a very well organised tournament by ACC and I am glad we emerged as victorious.”
