India U-19s vs Bangladesh U-19s Match Preview: Predicted 11, match prediction, live streaming, weather forecast, and pitch report

Defending champions India U-19s secured their berth in the final of the U-19 World Cup 2020 with a thumping win over Pakistan U-19s in the semi-finals. They will now lock horns with Bangladesh U-19s who have eliminated New Zealand U-19s and hosts South Africa U-19s on their way to the finale.

Both the Asian sides are yet to lose a match in this tournament, hence this match will prove to be a clash of equals. The Indian boys had last faced their Bangladeshi rivals in the Asia U-19s Cup where they overcame a challenge from them in a close encounter. India U-19s had also beaten Bangladesh U-19s twice in the tri-nation tournament played in England last year. Hence, the head-to-head record is in favour of Priyam Garg and co.

Talking about the players to watch out for, Yashasvi Jaiswal will be the key to India U-19s' success as the opening batsman has played with supreme consistency in this competition. The team's premier fast bowler, Kartik Tyagi, has supported him to perfection while Ravi Bishnoi has also played his role to perfection in the bowling department.

Bangladesh U-19s will rest their hopes on Mahmudul Hasan Joy, who hit a magnificent century in the semi-final. Also, Rakibul Hasan will have the onus of delivering the goods in the spin bowling section.

Pitch Report

The pitch has been good for teams who opt to bowl first. It supports the fast bowlers in the first half and then gets better for the batsmen in the latter half. Yashavi Jaiswal had thrashed the Pakistani bowlers at this very venue and hence, he will be looking forward to continue his fine form at the Senwes Park.

Prediction

Bangladesh U-19s have been unbeaten in the tournament so far but they will have to bring their A-game to the table to trouble the India U-19s. While Bangladesh U-19s came close to defeating the Indian side in the Asia Cup, they may find it difficult to stop their opponents in the U-19 World Cup final.

Kartik Tyagi and Yashasvi Jaiswal are in prime form and stopping them will be a mountainous task for Akbar Ali's side. India U-19s will start as the hot favourites to win this big final as they have seemed to be unstoppable.

Match Prediction: India U-19s to win the final.
