BAN-U19 vs IND-U19 Match Prediction & Betting Tips - Jan 20, 2024
The U19 World Cup was regarded by many as the launchpad to international cricket and for a while, that seemed to be true. Now, however, players can get picked through the various T20 Leagues, state scouts, or even regional T20 competitions. The interest around the U19 World Cup remains quite high and players will see this as a big opportunity to stand out.
Defending champions India will take on Bangladesh (current Asia Cup winners) in what could be a pretty feisty match.
BAN-U19 vs IND-U19 Team Previews
Bangladesh U19
Bangladesh U19 team will have good memories of the previous time they faced India in the Asia Cup Final. They managed to win that match by 43 runs and showcased their abilities in front of the world. The players to watch out for in this match include Ashiqur Rahman Shibli (wicketkeeper and opening batter), Jishan Alam, Ariful Islam, and Maruf Mridha.
The strength of the Bangladesh U19 team has been its ability to get to par totals and then defend them with everything they have got. The bowling unit is pretty good with a mix of medium pacers and spinners.
As one of the more successful teams on the U19 circuit, Bangladesh will certainly believe it can cause an upset at the start of the tournament.
Bangladesh U19 Playing 11
Ashiqur Rahman Shibli, Jishan Alam, Rizwan Chowdhury, Ariful Islam, Ahrar Amin, Shihab James, Mahfuzur Rahman, Parvez Rahman Jibon, Rohanat Doullah Borson, Iqbal Hasan Emon, Maruf Mridha.
India U19
India U19 teams have always been title contenders and India is in fact, the historically most successful team at this tournament. It is expected to win and that in itself adds a lot of pressure.
There are some names that seem to have been singled out as potential superstars of the future. We are talking about players like Arshin Kulkarni (opening batter and seam bowling all-rounder), Uday Saharan (captain), Musheer Khan, and Aravelly Avanish.
There are a couple of players who secured IPL contracts ahead of this tournament indicating their potential.
There is no doubt in our minds that India has the stronger batting lineup and will be more at ease in South African conditions than Bangladesh. Similarly, its bowling unit should also have more wickettakers and that could help swing the game its way.

Adarsh Singh, Arshin Atul Kulkarni, Musheer Khan, Uday Pratap Saharan, Sachin Sanjay Dhas, Priyanshu Suresh Bhai Moliya, Aravelly Avanish Rao, Abhishek Murugan, Saumy Kumar Pandey, Raj Limbani, Naman Tiwari.

BAN-U19 vs IND-U19 Betting Tips
The odds being offered on India are a bit low for our liking but it is still the team we are going to back. The simple fact is that the India U19 team is far better than the Bangladesh U19 team. This is true for batting strength, bowling quality, or even the fielding.
The match being played in South Africa only tilts things more in favor of India.

Bonus Cricket Bets
In most 50 over matches, the better batting team ends up scoring the most fours. This is not always true for the sixes, surprisingly. We think India is easily the better batting team and should end up with more fours to its name.
Continuing with our theme of betting on the Indian batting, we are also backing the top batter of the match to be from India. There are a number of batters in the Indian team with proven domestic records already. A 46% return on this bet is incredible value.
