Sri Lanka U19 faces Nepal U19 in the 4th match of Group B at the ACC Men’s U19 Asia Cup 2025. Scheduled for December 13, 2025, at 10:30 a.m. IST (2:00 p.m. local time) at The Sevens Stadium in Dubai, this 50-over clash carries big stakes for both sides early in the group stage.
The pitch at The Sevens Stadium tends to favor fast bowlers early with pace and bounce, shifting to spinners in the middle overs for grip and turn. Weather forecasts clear skies with temperatures between 21-26°C and no rain interruptions expected.
A win here gives either team a strong start in Group B, boosting net run rate and momentum ahead of tougher fixtures against Bangladesh and others. Sri Lanka U19 enters as favorites, holding superior experience in the format, while Nepal U19 aims to upset and build confidence after mixed recent results.
Sri Lanka U19 carries solid momentum from recent U19 outings, including a 55-run victory over Nepal U19 in last year’s Asia Cup Group B match where they posted 233 and restricted the opposition to 178. Nepal U19 showed resilience with a 1-wicket thriller against Afghanistan U19 in the 2024 Asia Cup but struggled in other games, losing to Bangladesh U19 by 5 wickets. Key talking points include Sri Lanka’s dominant batting depth versus Nepal’s bowling inexperience, plus whether Nepal’s captain Ashok Dhami can spark a chase on a seamer-friendly surface.
