That brings us to the end of our coverage today from the U19 Asia Cup 2026! This is Anirudh Modi, signing off along with my colleagues Pritam Dey and Dushyant Madhukar Kumar! See you at the next one.
2 contests in the U19 Asia Cup today, one that ended before 35 overs of this contest was bowled and the other that went the full length. The excitement continues tomorrow with the mega clash scheduled between India U19 and Pakistan U19, as the youngsters in Blue will look to take revenge for their loss in last edition's final to their opponents tomorrow. On a lighter note, the other clash is set to be the El Clasico of the associate nations as Nepal U19 battle UAE U19 for bragging rights.
An excellent contest between bat and ball today where the batters had a tough time scoring runs, and the bowler's patience and discipline paid off on both sides. 20 wickets fell, and in the end it was Bangladesh U19 that came out on top with a 45 run victory over their opponents. This performance will give them the confidence to now qualify into the semi-finals with their next match set to be against Malaysia U19 in a couple of days time. For Sri Lanka, even though they are second in the points table, they have a tough fight against Afghanistan U19 coming up.
Farid Hasan Faysal (Bangladesh U19 Captain): "(On the late innings collapse) This is a part of the game. I believe in my team and the fact that they are also playing a 50-over game and not a 25-over game.
(Must win game) U19 level, 250 runs is not chaseable. I think my team batted well for 50 overs and bowled well for 50 overs too.
(On Jairf's performance) Jarif is a good batter and his performance was excellent with both the bat and ball. That was crucial for us.
(On the next game) We still have a chance to qualify in the next game and that's what we will aim for."

Viran Chamunditha (Sri Lanka U19 Captain): "(Bad luck today, your bowlers did well to stop Bangladesh at U19) I'm happy about the fact that we could keep the first innings total to a low score.
(Batting performance) If two or three batters could have stitched together good partnerships in the middle, we could have won this game easily.
(Rectifications for the next game) We will recover from this performance and we will enter the next game with a different mindset."

Ahsan Al Mumim (Player of the match): "(On his performance) I try to bat according to the situation. I tried to focus on every ball and bat deep. That's how I scored 82.
(On the 360 degree approach) I tried to hit more on the off side.
(On the batting approach here) Once you are set on this pitch, then you can play well here."

Time for the post-match presentation ceremony..
6:36 PM IST, 5:06 PM Local Time | Bangladesh U19 have opened up Group B of the U19 Asia Cup 2026 with a scintillating 45-run victory over Sri Lanka U19! Excellent work with the bat and the ball, and even better in the field, as the Tigers from Bangladesh achieve a valuable victory here in Oman! The Bangladeshi team are celebrating and look elated out there.
Sri Lanka U19 won the toss and elected to bowl first. However, they would have been questioning their decision given how the Bangladeshis batted through the innings. It was only thanks to a late innings collapse that Sri Lanka U19 managed to pull things back and stop Bangladesh at a total of 245 all out after 49.4 overs of play.
SK Zarif Siam (59) and Ahsan Al Mumim (82) were the top run-scorers for Bangladesh U19. For Sri Lanka U19, Sethmika Seneviratne was the pick of the bowlers with the figures of 4/52 from 9.4 overs.
At the end of their innings, Bangaldesh U19 were a bit unhappy as they felt they left 15-20 runs out there, but oddly confident enough that they could chase down this total.
