Indian Under 19 team had won all of the group matches to make it easily into the quarter finals, but their decisive match against England on 22^nd February at Dubai International Cricket Stadium turned the tables.

With a crushing batting lineup, the team remained under pressure and lost by huge margin of 121 runs.

Except for B Fernando who took four wickets, none of the players could stand the Pakistan’s sharp play.

It’s a sunny day in Dubai with maximum temperature expected at 28^o, and there are no rains expected. The match starts at 09.30 local time(05.30GMT) and fans in selected countries can catch the live broadcasting on Star Sports, Ten Sports/Ten Cricket, and Willow Cricket TV.
