India U-19s

India U-19s should retain the same team that played against Sri Lanka U-19s. The batsmen had played their role to perfection while the bowlers ensured that the defending champions begin their campaign on a winning note.

Possible XI: Jaiswal, Saxena, Varma, Garg, Jurel, Veer, Hegde, Mishra, Bishnoi, Singh and Tyagi.

Japan U-19s

Since Japan's first match produced no result, the Japanese team management would not want to alter its match squad. Captain Marcus Thurgate will look to make the most out of the golden opportunity of playing against the Indian side. Max Clements had been very expensive in the previous game and will be looking to improve his performance in the bowling department.

Possible XI: Marcus, Dobbell, Fartyal, Ichiki, Date, Takahashi, Clements, Retharekar, Sahoo, Noguchi and Ashley.

IND-U19 vs JPN-U19 Dream11 tips

Wicket-keeper: Dhruv Jurel is the prime candidate for the wicket-keeper's role as he can contribute a lot of points in both the batting and the fielding department.

Batsmen: Yashasvi Jaiswal will look to get the team off to a flier while Priyam Garg will look forward to playing a big innings. In case Japan bat first, then it would be better to have Divyansh Saxena in the team instead of Garg. From the Japanese side, Ishaan Fartyal and Ashley Thurgate will be good options.

All-rounders: Neel Date is an impressive all-rounder who is quite adept in both the departments. Also, Kazumasa Takahashi from Japan can make an impact in this game. The Dream11 team owners should give more preference to the Japanese all-rounders because they will prove to be the highest points scoring players from the minnows. Among the Indian all-rounders, Tilak Varma and Siddhesh Veer are the reliable players.

Bowlers: Akash Singh and Ravi Bishnoi had picked two wickets against Sri Lanka U-19s at this ground, so it will be better to have them in the team ahead of Kartik Tyagi. From Japan U-19s, Yugandhar Retharekar is the only all-rounder worth picking in the Dream11 side.

Captain: Yashasvi Jaiswal is the best option for captaincy if India U-19s bat first while Siddheesh Veer becomes the prime captaincy candidate in case India U-19s field first. For the vice-captain's role, Divyansh Saxena and Tilak Varma are the best options.
