All the best👍

From this game, India's seam-bowling allrounder Arshin Kulkarni, who also opens the batting, is the one to watch out for. So, what's it about him? Shashank tells us that he was the find of the MPL. "Despite featuring in only three games, he hit six more sixes (19) than any other batter in a tournament where the likes of Ruturaj Gaikwad, Kedar Jadhav and Rahul Tripathi participated." He eventually made his senior team debut for Maharashtra at the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. He was also signed by Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL.

The 16 teams will be divided into groups of four each, with the top three from each group advancing to the Super Sixes stage, where the 12 teams will be divided into two groups of six each. The top two teams from each group will qualify for the semi-finals. But, even for the four teams that get eliminated in the group stage, it won't be the end of the tournament. The teams will get to play playoffs to decide the positions from 13th through to 16th.

So, if you haven't caught up with the 15th edition of the Under-19 World Cup, here is Abhimanyu Bose's ready reckoner. There's been a tweak in the format this time; the competition will follow the format used in last year's U-19 Women's World Cup.

According to the tournament's playing conditions, "Each team that qualifies for the Super Six stage will carry forward the points that it gained in the matches that it played in the Group stage against the other two teams to have qualified for the Super Six Stage."

Bangladesh have won the toss and will bowl first. Their captain Mahfuzur Rahman Rabby thinks the wicket will help bowlers. "We can do better."
