India Under-19 team will look to get back to winning ways when they take on newcomers Japan Under-19 team in their second match of Group A in the ACC Under-19 Asia Cup 2024 at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Monday. The Indian side suffered a 43-run loss to arch-rivals in their opening match of the tournament on Saturday.
Mohammad Amaan’s side must beat Japan to keep their hopes of qualifying for the semifinal stage alive with United Arab Emirates Under-19 side taking on Pakistan in the other clash of the day. Indians were disappointing with the ball against Pakistan, as they allowed them to pile up 281 for 7 although Samarth Nagaraj picked up 3/45 in 10 overs while Ayush Mhatre scalped two wickets with the ball.
In reply, India Under-19 were bundled out for 238 with Nikhil Kumar scoring a brave 67 off 77 balls with 3 sixes. Bihar’s 13-year-old batter Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who created sensation in the IPL 2025 Mega Auction last week, when he was picked for Rs 1.1 crore by Rajasthan Royals, failed with the bat after being dismissed for only 1.
Mhatre, who has reportedly impressed MS Dhoni and appeared for a Chennai Super Kings trials too, scored 20 off 14 balls but failed to carry on. Meanwhile, Japan were hammered by UAE by a massive 273 runs in their opening match in the tournament.
The Japanese side were bundled out for just 52, in reply to UAE’s 325 for 7 in the previous match. India have face Japan once in the past at the Under-19 level back in 2020 when they won by 10 wickets.
