Bangladesh Under-19 team will square off against Nepal on Sunday in their second group-stage match of the ACC Asia Cup at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, UAE.

A victory will bring the junior Tigers one step closer to securing a semi-final spot.

The young Tigers started their campaign strongly with a convincing 45-run win over Afghanistan, where captain Azizul Hakim Tamim starred with a century. Riding on this momentum, Bangladesh is confident of overcoming Nepal, a team considered less challenging due to differences in cricketing strength and experience between the two nations.

A win against Nepal will place Bangladesh in a favorable position ahead of their final Group B match against Sri Lanka on Tuesday. The encounter with Sri Lanka is expected to be more competitive, making tomorrow’s match critical to easing their path to the semi-finals.

The tournament features two teams advancing from each group to the semi-finals. Group B includes Bangladesh, Nepal, Afghanistan, and Sri Lanka, while Group A features India, Pakistan, hosts UAE, and Japan.
