U-19 Asia Cup winner: India beat Sri Lanka by 9 wickets to lift the under-19 Asia Cup in Dubai on December 31, 2021 in a rain-interrupted final. India under the leadership of Yash Dhull won through the Duckworth Lewis method (DLS) as the match was reduced to 38 overs due to rain interruption.

Indian bowlers put up a great display of talent led by the spin duo of Vicky Ostwal and Kaushal Tambe by picking up early wickets and restricting South Africa to 74/7. While Ostwal picked up 3 wickets, Tambe picked up 2 and Rajvardhan Hangargekar, Ravi Kumar and Raj Bawa picked up 1 wicket each. 

Sri Lanka posted a total of 106 runs for the loss of 9 wickets in 38 overs. India faced a target of chasing down 102 runs in 32 overs via the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method.

India chased down the total easily in just 21.3 overs with 9 wickets to spare. India only lost one wicket of Harnoor Singh who went for 5 runs. Indian opener Angkrish Radhuvanshi along with number 3 batsman Shaik Rasheed ensured that India sailed through without any more slip-ups.
