A dream come true: Akbar

Bangladesh U19 team's World Cup winning captain Akbar Ali has showered praise on every support staff who contributed in every possible way to bring a memorable event.

Akbar had a quiet tournament with the bat until the big moment came. He entered the crease in the 17th over when Bangladesh were trying to recover from India U19s leggie Ravi Bishnoi's four quick strikes. Akbar played a captain's knock in which he made 43* runs off 77 balls to clinch a 3-wicket victory (D/L) to hold onto the trophy. "When I went into the middle, we just needed a partnership. I told my partners that we cannot afford to lose a wicket. The plan was simple. We knew India won't make it easy. They are a challenging side, and we knew it will be a difficult chase. I am a person who wants to keep things simple, In the first half of the tournament, I hardly got any chances to get in the middle, and I wanted to make it count today," Akbar said at the post-match presentation. Bangladesh U19s have gone through a long process in the last two years. They lost to India in U19 Asia Cup Finals in 2018 and 2019. However, Akbar's boys managed to beat sides like England and New Zealand away from home ahead of the World Cup. "It's a dream come true. It's all about the hard work we have done over the last two years. The coaching staff...I just cannot thank them enough for how much support they have given us on and off the field," he said. "I would like to thank our coach, assistant coaches, trainers, analyst, selectors, everybody who has helped us. We've had a very good experience, and this is just the beginning for us. Hopefully, this will be the starting stone for us. Those who have supported us here have been our 12th man here. We really appreciate it." This is the first World Cup title achieved by any sports team of any levels of Bangladesh. Bangladesh U19s once played in the semi-finals in 2016 at home which was their previous best result at U19 Cricket World Cups.
