India's batting wilted under pressure as a superb Bangladesh bowling attack shot defending champions out for a paltry 177 in 47.2 overs in final of ICC U-19 World Cup on Sunday. Yasashvi Jaiswal (88 off 121 balls) was once again a standout performer but t for once did he look like dominating Bangladesh bowling unit whose new ball bowlers Shoriful Islam (2/31 in 10 overs) and Tanzim Hasan Shakib (2/28 in 8.2 overs) literally stifled Indians for runs. third seamer Avishek Das (3/40 in 9 overs) was most successful bowler in terms of figures but it was Shoriful's first spell with channelised aggression that put Indians on back-foot from onset.

Only 23 came off first 10 overs and India never recovered from slow start despite a sedate 93-run stand between Jaiswal and NT Tilak Verma (38 off 65 balls) in 23.2 overs. Shoriful and Shakib were t afraid of sledging Indian batsmen as y bowled full and got ball to swing away from left-handers. fielding was also agile and top-tched, making it difficult throughout Indian innings. Once Jaiswal was out, distinct lack of match-time for or Indian batsmen was evident with skipper Priyam Garg (7) showing rustiness.

or problem was Jaiswal's inability to force pace throughout entire innings did cost India and he was finally snuffed out by Shoriful as he mistimed a pull-shot. His innings had eight fours and a six and finished tournament with 400 runs. Siddhesh Veer (0) was gone off next ball by Shoriful and Dhruv Jurel (22 off 38 balls) lacked partners and was run-out after a horrible mix-up with Atharva Ankolekar (3). Atharva, hero of Australia game, was n played on and India finished with a below-par score.
