2018 under-19 World Cup: Five reasons why India beat Bangladesh in the quarter-final

Abhishek Sharma's all-round efforts

When Gill was dismissed off the last ball of the 36th over, he was replaced by his Punjab teammate Abhishek Sharma. The 17-year-old took his time initially before switching on gears. When Riyan Parag was dismissed in the 44th over, India lost wickets in a heap but the left-hander stood firm and took India to a decent total. He hit six boundaries in his knock of 50 off 49 balls and made sure that India crossed 250 with ease.

He continued his good work in the field and with the ball as he took two difficult catches at slip and accounted for two wickets conceding just 11 runs in the five overs he bowled.

Abhishek's late blitz with the bat gave India some momentum coming into the field and his two wickets which included the all-important wicket of Afif Hossain sealed the match in favour of India.
