Rain disrupted the Bangladesh vs India U-19 World Cup match in Bulawayo three times—once before the toss, once during India’s innings, and once during Bangladesh’s chase. Ultimately, rain proved to be Bangladesh’s undoing.

India batted first and were all out for 238 in 48.4 overs, with Vaibhav Suryavanshi scoring 72 and Abhigyan Kundu 80. Bangladesh started their chase in 49 overs but rain reduced their target to 165 in 29 overs, leaving them 11.4 overs (70 balls) to score 75 runs with eight wickets in hand. Captain Azizul Hakim and Kalam Siddiqui were at the crease.

Despite a strong start, Bangladesh collapsed to 146 all out in 28.3 overs. At one point, after 20 overs, they needed 63 runs off 54 balls and were 14 runs ahead under DLS. However, quick wickets fell, including key batsmen Azizul and Kalam, turning a likely victory into a dramatic loss.

Al Fahad and Rizan were out in quick succession, while attempts to accelerate the scoring led to further dismissals. Bihan Malhotra’s bowling was particularly effective, taking four wickets for 14 runs in four overs.

The toss was delayed and Bangladesh’s stand-in captain Jawad Abrar did not shake hands with India’s captain Ayush Mhatre, but the BCB clarified it was unintentional. Both teams shook hands at the end.

Score Summary:

India U-19: 238 all out in 48.4 overs (Kundu 80, Suryavanshi 72; Al Fahad 5/38, Iqbal 2/45, Azizul 2/42)

Bangladesh U-19: 146 all out in 28.3 overs (Azizul 51, Rifat 37; Bihan 4/14, Khilan 2/35)
