After a thrilling quarter-final match against Nepal, the Bangladesh youths have made it into the semi-final stage. None of their other teams across the other formats have made it this far. It is new territory.

The West Indies youths, on the other hand, had to scrape to get into the Quarter-finals by way of Mankading. They won against Pakistan comprehensively. Their pacers took advantage of the early morning conditions, and Bangladesh might want to do the same in this match also.

Najmul Hossain Shanto is leading in the batting averages with a healthy 104.00
Alzarri Joseph is tied on 4th spot with Mohammed Saifuddin-9 wickets. But Joseph is going at a miserly economy of 2.89 compared to Saifuddin's 3.40

Hope to see a good game and a good crowd turnout at Mirpur.

I'm ambivalent on whom to back. Supporting both teams...May the best team wins.\

Go West Indies!!

Go Bangladesh
