The Dubai International Cricket Stadium (DICS) is gearing up to play host to the first semi-final match of the ACC U1-9 Asia Cup 2024 tournament between Bangladesh U-19 & Pakistan U-19 on December 6. The game is scheduled to start at 10:30 AM IST. Pakistan U-19 have been impressive in the league stage and would want to stay unbeaten to progress to the final. Bangladesh U-19 have also played competitive cricket in this competition and have looked good despite their solitary defeat against Sri Lanka U-19.
Head-to-Head Record: Bangladesh U-19 and Pakistan U-19 have clashed with each other on 28 occasions in the YODI format since 2003. Pakistan U-19 have won the majority of those fixtures (16) with Bangladesh U-19 managing to win only 10. Pakistan U-19's demonstrated track record against the young Bangla Tigers make them clear favorites in the first semi-final match.
Group Standings - Pakistan finished at the top of the Group A points table with 3 wins to their name. The team has remained unbeaten so far and concluded their league stage standings with a healthy-looking NRR of 1.947. On the flip side, Bangladesh U-19 came second in the Group B points table and finished their league stage with a NRR of 0.913. Their sole defeat in the tournament came against Sri Lanka U-19.

Pakistan U-19 have been by far the most invincible team in this year's Asia Cup. All their three wins came in a one-sided affair including a 43-run drubbing against their arch-rivals India. From batting to pace/spin departments, the team has all bases covered and appears in very threatening form.
Shahzaib and Riaz Ullah have been the pick of the batters for Pakistan U-19 and have looked in tremendous form with the bat in this competition. Shahzaib is the highest run-scorer in this Asia Cup and averages a galloping 112 whereas Riaz Ullah averages well over 50 with the bat and has the second-most highest runs in this competition. Abdul Subhan is the tournament's second-highest wicket-taker with 8 wickets under his name averaging an impressive 12.87.
Pakistan in this tournament has scored over 250 runs in two of the three games played and their lowest score in the tournament is 243/6 against Japan. Shahzaib Khan has scores of 159, 132 and 45 runs in the tournament and he has been the enforcer at the top accumulating pressure and scoring runs at a quick rate. He has smashed a total of 10 sixes at this venue. Pakistan's strength is their batting and they have never batted second even in a single game.

Bangladesh U-19 are the second-best team after Sri Lanka U-19 in the Group B points table. The team secured their spot in the first semi-final match on the back of two convincing wins against Afghanistan U-19 and Nepal U-19. However, they narrowly went down against Sri Lanka U-19 in their last fixture losing the game by 7 runs whilst chasing a tricky target of 229.
The skipper Azizul Hakim has done the bulk of heavy lifting for his side with the bat and maintains a robust average of 81.5 with one century-plus score to his name. Kalam Siddiki has also been among the runs and is Bangladesh's second-highest run scorer in this tournament with 161 runs in 3 innings. Al Fahad has been the most successful bowler in this tournament and has the most number of wickets to his name. He has snapped 9 wickets so far at a stunning average and strike rate of 12.44 and 17.88 respectively.
Bangladesh U19 have won 8 off the 10 games against Pakistan U-19 while bowling first. Out of the two wins so far in the season, they won one match while batting first and one match while chasing. They have also conceded over 200 runs only once and have bowled their opponents in all the three games played.

Dubai's weather is predicted to be warm and sunny, with humidity levels around 57%. With temperatures expected to range from 23 to 28 degrees Celsius, we can anticipate a clear, sunny sky. There is currently no chance of any precipitation on the day of the match.
The pitch at DICS is expected to be a balanced deck, suitable for both batters and bowlers alike. The pitch tends to favor the batting side in the first innings, and stroke-making tends to be more fluent than in the second half. By looking at how the surface has played out in this tournament, only one target has been successfully chased. Anything above 250 has been difficult for the side batting last to chase down. The average first innings score in YODI's at this venue is 210 runs. In the current tournament the average 1st inning score is 239 runs.
In the 17 YODI's played at Dubai International Stadium the teams batting first won 9 matches, while teams bowling first won 8 matches. Teams that won the toss have opted to bat first 76.5% of the times. In this tournament the team batting first won five of the six matches played. We predict the captain that wins the toss will opt to bat first.
Pakistan U-19 have arguably been one of the most competitive sides in this ongoing ACC U-19 Asia Cup. The team was in stellar form in the league phase, winning all three of their fixtures. Moreover, the young Green Shirts have also triumphed in four of their last five outings against Bangladesh U-19 in recent times. Bangladesh U-19, on the other hand, have not fared badly in this tournament, but they will be up against a tough opponent who has had the better of them most of the time in this format. Considering the recent form of the two sides, a win for Pakistan U-19 is highly probable.
