Bangladesh U19 and Sri Lanka U19 face off in the 11th match of the ACC Men’s U19 Asia Cup 2025, a pivotal Group B clash at ICC Academy Ground No. 2 in Dubai on Thursday, December 17, 2025, starting at 10:30 AM IST (9:00 AM local time). Both teams have won their first two games, securing knockout spots but battling for top position.
This encounter caps Group B action in the 2025 ACC Under-19 Asia Cup, held across Dubai venues from December 12-21. Expect clear skies with temperatures around 23-26°C, moderate humidity, light breezes, and zero rain risk for a full 50-over contest. The pitch balances bat and ball early with seam movement, easing for strokeplay later while favoring spinners in the middle overs; totals near 250-270 prove defendable.
Bangladesh U19 sit second in Group B with a net run rate of 1.558 after chasing 284 against Afghanistan and 135 versus Nepal, showcasing bowling discipline and chase composure. Sri Lanka U19 lead with 1.848 NRR, dominating Nepal by eight wickets and edging Afghanistan by two wickets in a tense pursuit. Both sides enter unbeaten, but Bangladesh’s batting depth contrasts Sri Lanka’s bowling edge, promising momentum swings.
Head-to-Head Record
The sides have split six recent meetings evenly, with each winning three; Bangladesh averages 231 runs per innings, Sri Lanka 212. Batting first yields identical 3-3 results. Specific last-five outcomes remain sparse in U19 Asia Cup context, but Sri Lanka hold a 1-0 edge in prior tournament clashes.

Probable XIs
Bangladesh U19 Probable XI: Azizul Hakim Tamim (c), Zawad Abrar, Samiun Basir Ratul, Sheikh Paevej Jibon, Rizan Hossan, Md Abdullah, Farid Hasan Faysal, Md Shabuj, Shahriar Ahmed, Kalam Siddiki Aleen, Iqbal Hossain Emon.

Bangladesh U19 Analysis
Strengths lie in balanced attack and resilient top order, with Zawad Abrar (166 runs, including 96 and 70*) anchoring chases and Shahriar Ahmed plus Md Shabuj (3/27 vs Nepal) delivering breakthroughs. Weaknesses appear minimal, though early wickets test depth from Rizan Hossan and Md Abdullah. Recent form underlines maturity on Dubai pitches.
Sri Lanka U19 Analysis
Sri Lanka thrive on pace-spin variety, led by Sethmika Seneviratne (eight wickets) and Dulnith Sigera (3/33), restricting foes effectively. Viran Chamuditha (62 vs Afghanistan) and Chamika Heenatigala (unbeaten 51) provide batting fight, but middle-order inconsistency hampers momentum. Their pressure handling stands out.
