Bangladesh edged out the United Arab Emirates in the U-19 Asia Cup final with an emphatic 195-run win at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday.
Chasing 283, the home team were bowled out for just 87.
Opener Ashiqur Rahman (129) was the hero for Bangladesh with a brilliant hundred.
Aiman Ahmed took four wickets for UAE.
But the home side’s batting collapsed against a formidable Bangladesh side who remained unbeaten in the tournament.
However, the UAE will benefit greatly from this event, as they created history by reaching the final with two memorable wins over Test teams Pakistan (semi-finals) and Sri Lanka (group stages).
