IND vs BAN Ball by Ball Commentary

4:54 PM IST That is all we have from the 2020 Under-19 World Cup. Bangladesh are the champions, India are the the runners-up, Pakistan are third, New Zealand fourth, West Indies 5th, Australia 6th, Afghanistan 7th and South Africa 8th. England are the Plate champions. Thank you very much for tuning in to our coverage. ADIOS! TAKE CARE!

4:50 PM IST As far as India are concerned, they will be ruing enough game time for their middle order. Could they have tweaked their batting order a little bit in any of the games and given their batsmen a bit more exposure? There is always this one dreaded game where your batting order collapses and unfortunately for them, it turned out to be the day of the final. They bowled brilliantly though, not far away from becoming the first ever team to defend its World Cup title - but it was not to be so. Plenty of positives to take from.

4:49 PM IST Akbar Ali is really happy to move away from Ian Bishop because he can now go and lift the trophy with his mates. Well played, Bangladesh, just about holding their nerves better than India. They win their first ever Under-19 World Cup and also register their 10th successive win in Youth ODIs - a record. What a game to create that record.

4:44 PM IST Victorious Bangladeshi captain, Akbar Ali, says that winning their maiden Under-19 World Cup is a dream come true, citing the hard work put in the last 18 months. Thanks the coaches and the support staff. On the grand but intimidating occasion of a World Cup final, Akbar says that his guys were very much pumped up for this game but he cautioned them to play normally. Praises the Indian team for having a superb tournament. Once again, thanks his coaches and support staff. Believes that this would be a stepping stone for a very bright future in Bangladesh cricket. Thanks the crowd for its amazing support throughout.

4:43 PM IST Smiling time! Who else? Bangladeshi lads. They cannot stop smiling. Gleefully accept their medallions.

4:39 PM IST Indian skipper, Priyam Garg, manages a smile. Admits that the day was not good for them but he is proud of the way his bowlers fought and thanks the Almighty for everything. On India's batting in the final, Garg says that toss played a crucial role as the wicket was very damp and the Bangladeshi bowlers bowled very well. Lauds his openers but believes that the middle order could have done better. Feels that 220 could have been a winning total. On any particularly different tactics while bowling, Priyam says that nothing else could have been done, his bowlers did exceptionally well but Bangladesh batted superbly. Agrees that this was a very good experience not only in this tournament but even in the series before that, in this very same country.

4:39 PM IST The Indian players are now given their medallions. They look downcast but they can be proud of themselves. It could have so easily been a one-sided game and Bangladesh could have crushed them. But the runners-up made more than a fist of it.

4:37 PM IST YASHASVI JAISWAL HAS BEEN NAMED THE MAN OF THE TOURNAMENT. 400 runs across the event, at an average of 133.33 and a strike rate of 82.47. 4 half centuries and 1 century, with 3 not outs in 6 innings. Says that he really enjoyed the tournament and is happy with the experience of playing in South Africa. On playing carefully in this match, Jaiswal says that he just focussed on playing his own game. On his future prospects, Yashasvi says that he is only going to look at the process he follows regularly, in the matches that will come next.

4:35 PM IST BANGLADESH CAPTAIN, AKBAR ALI, HAS BEEN NAMED THE MAN OF THE MATCH. On his batting knock, Akbar says that when he arrived at the crease, Bangladesh needed a partnership and says that the planning was simple (really?). Adds that the batsmen knew it would be a difficult chase right from the start as India would not let any team win so easily. Stresses that he just used the opportunity to spend some time in the middle and take his team home.

4:34 PM IST The presentation is about to begin. The match officials are given their medallions.

4:34 PM IST Parvez Hossain Emon is called too. Says that it is a great experience to be called as a champion team. Admits that it was tough for him to bat with all the pain but he is feeling better now.

4:33 PM IST Coach Richard Stonier now is here for some thoughts. He is extremely happy. Says that he has been looked after well by the staff and management and he is very happy for the young boys - stresses that this moment is theirs. On getting the boys ready for every game, the coach says that he JUST asks his boys to give 150 percent. Thanks his mum and dad and dedicates this moment to them.

4:32 PM IST Rakibul Hasan is down for a chat. Says that it is a great feeling. They came here to prove themselves and they did. Relishes the experience of doing so. On beating India, Hasan says that they made a plan and executed it.

4:32 PM IST It was an Avishek Das show earlier in the day as he picked up 3 wickets, while Shoriful Islam and Tanzim Hasan got 2 each. But for India, only Yashasvi Jaiswal stood out, making 88. It was his dismissal which triggered the collapse. Rain did play its part in the match. Bangladesh needed 15 runs from 9 overs when it arrived and when play resumed, the runs needed were revised to 7 from 5 overs.

4:30 PM IST Heartbreak for India. They batted poorly, losing their last 7 wickets for just 21 runs but their bowlers made more than a match of it. Ravi Bishnoi broke through the middle order, with 4 wickets and then, Sushant Mishra chipped in with 2 wickets. But crucially, for India, Kartik Tyagi and Akash Singh went wicketless while Atharva Ankolekar was not trusted enough, bowling just 4 overs. Did Priyam Garg miss a trick there?

4:28 PM IST With 76 more needed and just 4 wickets in hand, the match looked gone for Bangladesh. But Parvez Hossain Emon, who has retired hurt on 25, came back on to stitch a 41-run stand with Akbar Ali. India smelled fresh blood once Parvez was dismissed but Rakibul Hossain coming in at number 9 showed excellent composure to stay alongside Akbar and take his team home.

4:25 PM IST In any normal ODI, this would have been chased down with 8 or 7 wickets to spare and Bangladesh started their chase in fine fashion, rocketing to 50/0. But then, Ravi Bishnoi was introduced and that changed things. The leggie spun a web around the batsmen as the chasing side slipped from 50/0 to 102/6.

4:21 PM IST Phew. What was that? A nerve-filled humdinger. Bangladesh are the 2020 Under-19 World Cup champions but they made a meal of a simple run chase. Tells us how nerves play a part in a final.

4:13 PM IST THAT IS THE GAME! BANGLADESH ARE THE 2020 UNDER-19 WORLD CUP CHAMPIONS! Rakibul goes for the glory shot. Hasan comes down the track and swings it over mid-wicket. The ball lands just in front of the fielder in the deep. The batsmen take a single and that will do. VICTORY BY 3 WICKETS!

4:03 PM IST 6 pm local (1600 GMT) - Well, one cover is going off! The Bangladeshi batsmen are asked to come back to the dugout from the dressing room. We should have a resumption soon. Sushant Mishra is warming up and getting his rhythm going.

3:53 PM IST More and more covers are being brought upon. The crowd is waiting anxiously to know the result. This has been one fantastic final between two champion Asian sides. The DLS par score for Bangladesh at the end of 41 overs with 7 wickets down is 147. There is a reserve day on Monday but that will not come into usage now as more than 20 overs have already been bowled in the second innings. Fingers crossed for everyone. Some want the rain to stop. Some want the rain to continue. A real pain for rain. Whom should it listen to? Stay tuned for updates.

3:51 PM IST Oh dear... the heavens have opened up. It was drizzling since quite a while but it has gotten heavier now. The umpires waited for a couple of overs and have now ushered the players in. There are a few dark clouds but there is plenty of strong breeze as well.

Rakibul lets it go but the ball pitches on that rough and then shoots up well above the keeper, to the fine leg fence! The stand moves to 11 from 36 balls.

3:37 PM IST A length ball outside off, coming in, tucked through mid-wicket for a single. 150 COMES UP FOR BANGLADESH. 28 more required. 75 balls left. 3 wickets in hand only.

3:32 PM IST Terrific stop. Full and outside off, Ali drives this through the covers but Yashasvi Jaiswal dives to his left and makes a stunning stop. Bangladeshi dugout is chewing its nails. Given the way this match is going, they might not need dinner.

3:16 PM IST Full and around off, Rakibul pushes inside the line and gets a thick outside edge. Does not carry to second slip.

3:16 PM IST Landed outside off, the googly, RH looks to push but misses. The slip cordon is up and appealing but nothing doing from the umpire.

Goes after it, playing a lofted cover drive but cannot clear the fielder. Akash Singh leaps to his left and takes a straight forward catch.

2:50 PM IST On a length, around off, defended watchfully.

2:50 PM IST Full and outside off, pushed straight to cover.

2:49 PM IST MIX-UP, but safe. Parvez Hossain Emon is struggling. He popped up a couple of tablets before this over. Parvez pushes it towards cover and sets off for a single. Then, he stops. But the non-striker is confident about the single and calls him through. There could have been a run out opportunity but Yashasvi Jaiswal charging to his right from cover chooses the striker's end. Misses but Akbar Ali was well in. He could have taken a second and chosen the bowler's end instead.

2:48 PM IST Landed outside off, left alone.

2:48 PM IST WIDE. That is a harsh call. Emon walks down the track and has a wild swish at a ball which just grazes the wide guideline. Misses and it is wided.

2:41 PM IST FOUR! That is a nice shot. On a length outside off, Emon punches this on the up through the covers. Atharva Ankolekar starts to chase but then stops suddenly. He then resumes running and puts in a futile dive, only to see the ball race past. 58 more needed from 141 balls.

2:30 PM IST DRINKS BREAK. Phenomenal comeback from India. They were looking down and out when Bangladesh were 50/0 but have roared into this contest. It is they who have tilted the balance and with 68 to get, just 4 wickets remaining, have to favour the fielding side. Bangladesh are responsible for their poor show, going well at one stage and then needlessly throwing it away. Bishnoi started the wreckage but the others are having their fill now.

2:29 PM IST Full and straight, this is watchfully pushed towards mid on.

2:28 PM IST Lucky to get away with that. A wild bouncer, around off, Ali lets that sail over. No wide called though.

2:28 PM IST Outside off, punched off the back foot.

2:27 PM IST ANOTHER WIDE. This is slipped down the leg side, Akbar misses his tuck. The bowler appeals for the catch but the keeper does not. However, the latter is surprised on the wide call. Did that hit something?

2:26 PM IST Outside off, this is played straight to point.

It is a short ball and looks to pull but gets a top edge. Kartik Tyagi gets across from square leg to his right and pouches it safely. India firm favourites to defend their title now.

2:18 PM IST DROPPED! Easy chance this time. A length ball, outside off, Das looks to guide it to third man but ends up hitting it straight to first slip. Tilak Varma over there looks to take it inches above the ground but fumbles. Tries to take it in the second attempt but cannot.

2:17 PM IST FOUR! Gets it through! 76 more needed from 164 balls now. Short and outside off, Das gets on top of the bounce and punches it through the covers,. Ravi Bishnoi at point dives to his right but cannot quite stop it.

2:12 PM IST Around off, defended watchfully.

2:12 PM IST Full and outside off, this is driven through the covers for a run.

2:11 PM IST FOUR! Cut away! Back-to-back boundaries for Bangladesh. Bishnoi drops it short and Akbar picks the length in a trice. Goes back and cuts it behind backward point.

2:10 PM IST FOUR! AWESOME! Full and outside off, Akbar leans and drives this through the covers.

2:09 PM IST DIRECT HIT WOULD HAVE HAD DAS! Close call. Das taps it to the leg side and sets off for a quick single. Bishnoi quickly gets across and has a shy at the bowler's end but misses. Avishek was gone for all money!

But it is towards sweeper cover where Yashasvi Jaiswal comes charging in and takes a decent catch! The Indians are pumped up. Memories of the 2019 Asia Cup final flooding in...

2:00 PM IST Sushant Mishra returns. 3-0-14-0 so far.

They are into the lower middle order of the Bangladesh side which has hardly been tested. It is a googly, it lands outside off and then turns back in. SH looks to defend with a long stride. It hits the inside edge, then the pads and rolls towards the keeper who takes it with one hand and whips the bails off in a flash. He is appealing and celebrating at the same time.

1:30 PM IST Akbar Ali, the Bangladesh skipper is the new man in.

1:24 PM IST Outside off, it is left alone.

1:24 PM IST Hridoy comes down the track and this is bowled on the pads. He tries to flick but it kisses the pads and goes into the hands of the keeper. A huge shout but not given.

1:22 PM IST Floats it up outside off, Hridoy leaves it alone. Another successful over for the Indians.

1:19 PM IST There is a slight halt in play and Parvez Hossain Emon seems to be suffering from a hamstring problem. The physio is out to have a look at him. This is not looking good as Emon is making his way back to the pavilion. Could be really painful. Will this be the turning point in this game? Shahadat Hossain replaces him out in the middle.

1:17 PM IST Towhid Hridoy is the new man in.

1:17 PM IST OUT! KABOOM! Timber! Drags his length back and gets the reward. The googly does the trick again. Mahmudul does not pick it at all. It is slightly short and outside off. Turns back in.
