First Published Feb 9, 2020, 3:48 PM IST

Bangladesh have done what has looked unthinkable for at least the last three years at U-19 level. They have beaten India in an absolute humdinger at the U19 World Cup final at Senwes Park in Potchefstroom, South Africa. This is Bangladesh's first World Cup at any level.

Early on in the day, Bangladesh won the toss and opted to field. India managed to reach a respectable total of 177 after losing quick wickets in the middle overs. After a flying start, India's Ravi Bishnoi's superb spell threatened Bangladesh's chances of victory, however, captain cool Akbar Ali scored a gritty 43 not out to help his team win their maiden Under 19 World Cup.

Brief scores: India 177 all out (Yashasvi Jaiswal 88, Avishek Das 3-40) lost to Bangladesh 170/7 (Akbar Ali 43*, Ravi Bishnoi 4-30) by three wickets (DLS).

Here's all the action from this nail-biting game.
