2024 U19 Asian Cup: India has only one way to advance to the semi-finals, so they can qualify

India U19 Team 2024 Asia Cup: A total of 8 teams are participating in the 2024 Under-19 World Cup. All teams are divided into two groups of four teams each, and so far no team has been confirmed to advance to the semi-finals. All teams are working hard to reach the semi-finals. Two teams from each group will advance to the semi-finals and the final will be held in Dubai on December 8. The Indian team is part of Group A of the U-19 Asia Cup and hopes of advancing to the semi-finals remain alive.

Lost to Pakistan in first match

India got off to a very bad start. India suffered a crushing defeat to Pakistan by 43 runs in the first match. As a result, India’s net run-rate turned negative. Then the Indian team faced the Japanese team and the players performed well. Thus, India won the match against Japan by 211 runs. India’s net run rate improved with this win. But there are still questions about whether he can reach the semifinals.

Defeating the UAE is necessary

The Indian team has played a total of two matches in this World Cup so far, winning one and losing one. With two points, he is third in the standings. The team’s net run rate is 1.680. He has one game left, which he must play against the Emirates on December 4. If India wants to realize its dream of reaching the U19 Asian Cup semi-finals, it must win this game after losing, so that the Indian team can accumulate 4 points after three games. On the other hand, if India wins, UAE will have only 2 points after three games and India will be ahead of them in the points table.

Pakistan tops the standings

Currently, Pakistan ranks first in the standings with 4 points. He has played two games and won both. His net earned run average is 1.120. Pakistan has every chance of reaching the semi-finals. He only had to play one game against Japan, and winning it didn’t seem difficult. It is up to Team India to win the match against UAE.
