Bangladesh's youth team has reached the final of the Under-19 Asia Cup by defeating Pakistan. Azizul Hakim Tamim's team will take to the field at the Dubai International Stadium on December 11 to win the tournament title for the second time in a row.

Bangladesh will face India in this mega final. They booked their ticket to the final by defeating Sri Lanka by 7 wickets in their semi-final on Friday (December 6).

And Bangladesh defeated Pakistan by the same margin. Bangladesh won the toss and sent Pakistan to bat at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. However, Pakistan could not stand the speed of Iqbal-Maroof. The 'Men in Green' innings ended at 116 runs after losing all their wickets in 37 overs.

As a result, Bangladesh set a target of 117 runs to reach the final. Chasing that target, they lost two wickets for 28 runs, but in the end, captain Azizul Hakim Tamim's responsible fifty earned the red-green representatives a ticket to the final.

Pakistan, who had lost the toss and opted to bat, were shaken up by pacer Maruf Mridha at the start. He dismissed opener Usman Khan (0) for 2 runs, and then dismissed another opener, Shahzaib Khan, for a duck in his second over.

Captain Saad Baig and Mohammad Riazullah tried to put up a fight. Both these batters were dismissed by another pacer, Iqbal Hossain Emon.

Pakistan started to lose 6 wickets for 79 runs. After that, Bangladesh did not allow any other batter to stand except Farhan Yousuf (32). In the end, Pakistan lost all their wickets and scored 116 runs. Tiger pacer Iqbal Hossain Emon took 4 wickets for 24 runs. Another pacer, Maruf Mridha, took 2 wickets for 23 runs.

Bangladesh came out to bat after setting a target of 117 runs, but Jawad Abrar and Kamal Siddiqui's opening pair could not provide any advantage. Kamal Siddiqui was out for a duck after the team scored 20 runs and returned to the pavilion. Bangladesh then came under pressure. The second wicket fell at 28 runs. Jawad Abrar returned after scoring 17 runs off 25 balls.

However, Bangladesh captain Tamim took the innings forward with Shihab James. Shihab was caught by Naveed Khan for 28 runs, but the Bangladesh captain left the field with his team winning. He remained unbeaten on 61 runs with 7 fours and 3 sixes.
