IND U19 vs UAE U19: The competition to become the best among the Under 19 teams of Asia is about to begin. India's first match in this tournament starting from December 12 is against host UAE. In this match, all eyes are going to be on Vaibhav Suryavanshi. Vaibhav's name has become very popular this year with the help of his bat. This will be Vaibhav Suryavanshi's second ODI for India Under-19 against UAE. Before this, he had also played the previous ODI against UAE Under-19 team in last year's Asia Cup, where due to his explosive performance in the opening, India registered a strong victory by 10 wickets.
In the last Under 19 Asia Cup, Vaibhav Suryavanshi also got great support from Ayush Mhatre from the other end in defeating UAE by 10 wickets. Both the batsmen did not allow any UAE bowler to stand in front of them and they thrashed them in such a way that the target of 50 overs was chased in the 17th over itself.
UAE Under-19 team could not even play full 50 overs against India in the last Asia Cup. Batting first, she was all out after scoring 137 runs in 44 overs. India Under 19 got the target of 138 runs, to chase which the opening pair of Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Ayush Mhatre came to the crease.
Vaibhav and Ayush had expressed their intentions in that match against UAE as soon as they entered the crease. The attack on UAE Under 19 team started not only from one end but from both the ends. The result was that both the batsmen remained unbeaten and scored 143 runs in 16.1 overs, which included 17 sixes and fours.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi, playing at a strike rate of 165.22, scored unbeaten 76 runs in 46 balls, which included 6 sixes and 3 fours. So from the other end, Ayush Mhatre also scored 67 runs in 51 balls at a strike rate of 131.37, which included 4 sixes and as many fours.
Like last year, this time too the stage of Under 19 Asia Cup has been set. The players are ready. The teams are ready. Vaibhav Suryavanshi, present in the India Under 19 team, is again eager to hit sixes, score runs and once again defeat the UAE Under 19 team.
