Follow Highlights of India U19 Vs Sri Lanka U19 Asia Cup Final
Sri Lanka U19 off to a sluggish start
Sri Lanka U19, the only unbeaten team in the tournament, have managed to put up just 18 in the first 13 overs -- their slowest start so far. Their top-order was fragile in the semi-final too against Pakistan. Bandara and Rajapaksa are in the middle.
Sri Lanka 18/2
WICKET!
Daniel was struggling and he nicked it to keeper Aaradhya. Bawa gets his first wicket. Indian seamers will look to grab a couple of more wickets as the lush green wicket still has a lot more to offer. Both the SL openers are back in the dressing room and Rajapaksa is the next man in.
Sri Lanka 15/2
End of first Powerplay
A disciplined bowling effort from the Indian pacers have restricted Sri Lanka to 15/1 in the first 10 overs.
Indian seamers hunt for another wicket

Sri Lanka 13/1
Dropped!
Ravi Kumar could have had his second! Bandara nicked it to the slips but it fell tumbled out of the fielder's hands. A run-out and a catching opportunity missed so far.
Sri Lanka 10/1
India U19 disciplined at the start
Bandara joins Daniel in the middle. Hangargekar is desperately looking for one more early wicket to push Sri Lanka on the backfoot.
Sri Lanka 9/1
WICKET!
Ravi Kumar strikes! India are off to a good start. Wickramasinghe departs for 3. He was looking to play in the mid-wicket region but picked out the third man fielder instead.
Sri Lanka 6/1.
Missed opportunity
