Today, India will cross swords against UAE in the 12th group-stage match of the ongoing u19 Asia Cup tournament. Both teams have had a similar journey, winning one of their two group-stage matches. While the Indian u19 team crushed Japan in their previous encounter, the United Arab Emirates were humbled by an in-form Pakistani outfit. 

So, from India u19's perspective, they would like to extend their winning streak in order to boost their chances of semifinal qualification. The same is true for UAE, as the hosts would be keen to get back on the winning track. 

As the Indian team gears up for its third group-stage clash, here are three players to watch out for in this match. 

Vaibhav Suryavanshi

  • The promising left-handed batter has taken social media by storm thanks to his incredible batting attributes at a tender age. 
  • However, Vaibhav Suryavanshi hasn't been able to make his mark in the u19 Asia Cup so far, managing only 24 runs across two outings. 
  • So, this match is really important for the stylish southpaw, as another failure will likely result in his exclusion from the playing XI. 

Ayush Mhatre

  • While Vaibhav Suryavanshi hasn't lived up to the expectations, his opening partner Ayush Mhatre has amazed the spectators with his stroke play. 
  • The stylish right-hander, who got out for 20 against Pakistan u19, hammered a blistering 29-ball 54 versus Japan with the help of six fours and four sixes. 
  • So, considering this game is a must-win affair for India u19, the visitors will expect Mhatre to stun UAE with his brutal hitting at the top order. 

Samarth Nagaraj

  • India's promising fast bowler Samarth Nagaraj has been impressive in the u19 Asia Cup tournament. 
  • The right-arm seamer operates at a rapid pace and can trouble the batters with his nagging accuracy. 
  • Thus, Nagaraj will be a serious threat to the UAE batting unit, challenging the hosts with his pace and movement. He bagged a clinical three-wicket haul against Pakistan and would like to replicate a similar success in today's match.
