In the ongoing Asian Cricket Council Under-19s Asia Cup, India Under-19s bowled brilliantly to restrict UAE Under-19s to just 137 runs in their 44-over innings. The standout performance came from Yudhajit Guha, who took 3 wickets for just 15 runs in his 7 overs, with an exceptional economy rate of 2.14. His spell helped break crucial partnerships and dismantle the UAE batting lineup. Guha was instrumental in dismissing Aryan Saxena, Mudit Agarwal, and Ali Asgar, all of whom were caught behind by India’s wicketkeeper Harvansh Pangalia.
UAE’s innings saw them lose wickets at regular intervals, with Muhammad Rayan’s 35 runs off 48 balls being the highest score for his side. UAE’s top-order collapsed quickly, as Guha’s bowling, along with the contributions of Chetan Sharma (2 wickets) and Hardik Raj (2 wickets), ensured that the opposition could not build any significant partnerships.
The Indian bowlers, led by Guha, were clinical, with Karthikeya (1 wicket) and Mhatre (1 wicket) also contributing effectively. Despite UAE’s lower-order fightback, they were eventually dismissed for 137 in 44 overs, setting India a manageable target. Guha’s performance will surely add to his growing reputation ahead of the rest of the tournament.
