We are all set to begin as the umpires and the players stride out in the middle and line up for their respective national anthems. It will be Bangladesh's first, followed by the national anthem of Pakistan.
Pitch report - Nice breeze is blowing across the stadium. The square boundaries are on the shorter side compared to the straight ones. It's a fresh track and there is a bit of live grass. A hard surface to bat on and the fast bowlers can exploit the conditions initially. The spinners will also come into play, perhaps more in the second innings.
Saad Baig, the captain of Pakistan Under-19, says that it's a different venue and they have to play some good cricket. Calls it a big game and they want to win. Informs that Mohammad Zeeshan is back in the XI, replacing Amir Hassan.
Mahfuzur Rahman, the skipper of Bangladesh Under-19, says that they will bowl first. He adds that there is a bit of moisture in the surface, and that will help their bowlers. He further says that they have played Pakistan Under-19 before, and his side will look to do well today. He ends by informing that they are unchanged.
