3:41 PM IST Time for the presentation ceremony...

3:41 PM IST Earlier in the game, after being inserted into bat, Bangladesh Under-19 were off to a watchful start. Both openers got starts but failed to kick on, and it was the same story for Chowdhury Md Rizwan. Ariful Islam and Ahrar Amin then got together and kept ticking along nicely for Bangladesh. Both batters were content with knocking it around and made sure not to throw their wicket away. After reaching his fifty, Ariful changed gears and brought up his hundred in real quick time. However, Amin perished six runs short of his fifty. After Ariful fell, Md Shihab James took the mantle of taking the attack to the opposition and helped his side get to 291 via his quickfire 31-run knock. For the USA Under-19, Arya Garg was once again the star with three wickets while Aarin Nadkarni picked up a couple of wickets.
