Sri Lanka U-19 will square off against Nepal U-19 in the second match of the Asian Cricket Council U-19 Asia Cup 2024 at the Sharjah International Cricket Stadium. The Lankan Lions are coming off a mixed bag of results in Youth ODIs, having won three of their last five outings. Meanwhile, Nepal U-19, who have seen a rise in youth cricket, particularly in the T20I format, haven't had much success in the 50-over format, winning only one of their last five games.
Both teams will be eager to start the tournament with a win. The young players will have to prove themselves under tough batting conditions and severe heat at a venue that has produced many cricketing superstars. Sri Lanka has a relatively settled batting lineup and a well-balanced squad. In contrast, Nepal, known for producing unorthodox and mystery spinners, has struggled to develop batters who can play the longer formats and exhibit patience. Ultimately, it will be a battle between Sri Lanka's batting and Nepal's bowling lineup.

Young, talented opener Pulindu Perera scored 107 runs to cap off the series, finishing with 121 runs in three matches. Vihas Thewmika was the star with the ball, picking up 7 wickets in the series.

Captain Vihas Thewmika has a phenomenal record in Youth ODIs, scoring 179 runs and picking up 18 wickets in 15 matches.

Ramiru Perera and Dulnith Sigeria are the other key bowlers to watch out for in this fixture. Vimat Dinsara is another key batter who can score big knocks, Yenula Dewthusa holds the key in the fast bowling department for the Lankan Lions in this contest.

Nepal U-19 had a pretty good outing at the ICC Men's ODI World Cup in January, reaching the Super Six stage after winning one match and losing two in the group stage. They lost all six matches in the Super Six stage.
Most of the Nepalese players are coming on the back of a solid U-19 level domestic cricket performance. Arjun Kamal, Nepal's top batter in the World Cup campaign with 146 runs in five matches, will open the innings alongside Mayan Yadav, who had a solid outing in domestic YODIs with 152 runs in six matches. Akash Tripathi bats at number three and has scored 136 runs in seven matches. Rohan Biswakarma, with 191 runs in six matches, can score big runs in this contest and is known to play spinners well in the middle overs.
Naren Saud, one of the team's key all-rounders, is coming on the back of scoring 57 runs and picking up 12 wickets in the national U-19 ODI cup. Aparajit Paudel, with 19 wickets, and the team's captain, Hemanth Dhami, with 12 wickets, are the players to watch out for. Another key player who could contribute with both bat & ball is Yuvraj Khatri who has scored 142 runs & picked up 12 wickets in 6 matches.

High TurnThe pitch at Sharjah is a balanced track where it offers assistance to both the batters & bowlers, in most ODI games the pitch will be dry and hard where seamers come are highly impactful and the uneven bounce sometimes can be the undoing of the batters. Wrist spinners will be highly impactful at this venue and the average 1st innings score is around the 220-230 run mark.
Teams batting first have won 54.4% of the matches at this venue in ODI's. In YODI's out of the 11 matches the team batting first won eight matches, as it is a day game the pitch tends to slow down as the game progresses and we predict the team that wins the toss will opt to bat first.
With their experience and recent matches against world-class teams, the odds favor SL U-19 to win this game. They have a significantly better batting and bowling lineup compared to Nepal and are on an unbeaten run against them.
