India beat Sri Lanka in the finals of ACC U19 Asia Cup 2018 at the Shere Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka on Sunday to clinch the Asia Cup title. It was a complete performance by the boys in blue as they scored 304/3 in 50 overs. Emulating their seniors, India’s Under-19 squad too scripted a dominating run to lift their sixth title by outplaying Sri Lanka in all three departments to script a comprehensive 144 run win in the Sher-e Bangla Stadium in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
India had raised a mammoth total without a single batsman crossing three-figure mark, which means there was a consistent performance from everyone. Except for Devdutt PAdikkal 31(43) every other batsman who set out to bat scored half-centuries. Lusty hitting by Ayush Badoni 52(28) and PrabhSimran Singh 65(37) helped India cross 300 after Yashasvi Jaiswal 85(113) and Anuj Rawat57(79) laid a solid foundation. In response, it was Harsh Tyagi who proved to be the chief destroyer for Srilanka picking 6 wickets for 38 in his quota of 10 overs.

Always a great opportunity for the youngsters to play here, I would like to thank the ACC for organizing this tournament.”
