Preview:
India U19 will take on Sri Lanka U19 in the final of the ACC U19 Asia Cup 2021/22 on Friday. Despite losing against Pakistan U19 in the league fixture, India U19 put up impressive performances thereafter and reached the finals for the eighth time. They defeated Bangladesh U19 in the semi-final by a massive margin of 103 runs and are the sheer favorites to win this tournament.
Sri Lanka U19 wrapped an improbable win over Pakistan U19 by 22 runs to reach the finals for the fifth time. The bowlers deserve a lot of credit for successfully defending the target of 147 runs. They are a good bowling side and can give tough competition for the in-form Indian side.
