Eight teams are divided into two groups each and fight for supremacy in the Asian continent. While Group A consists of India, Pakistan, Japan, and UAE, Group B has Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Afghanistan. Team India is the most successful team in the tournament history, with eight wins, followed by Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, which each claimed the tournament once. Bangladesh won ACC U-19 2023 and entered the league as the defending champion.
Team India registered a brilliant win against Japan in its second match after losing its opener game to archrival Pakistan last week. India must win the match against UAE to move forward in the championship. Indian skipper Mohammad Amaan's unbeaten century guided his team to a brilliant win. Amaan built solid partnerships with Andre Siddarth (38), Hardik Raj (25 not out), and Vaibhav Suryavanshi (23) to put a mammoth 339 for 6 in 50 overs.
India enjoys complete domination in the ACC U-19 Asia Cup history and sets high standards for other teams. This winning streak is a testament to India's consistency and solid pool of young talent, which ensures they are consistently among the frontrunners. It will be interesting to see if the Indian side continues that legacy.
