The Under-19 Cricket World Cup has officially begun, with India and the United States playing the opening match on Thursday. Bangladesh will start their campaign today against India at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. India began the tournament with a dominant win over the United States. The competition, jointly hosted by Zimbabwe and Namibia, features age-level teams from around the world.

India holds the record for the most titles in the tournament’s history, having won five of the previous fifteen editions, including the latest in 2022. Bangladesh, on the other hand, claimed their only title in 2020 by defeating India in the final. This year, Bangladesh competes in Group A alongside India, the United States, and New Zealand. The team, led by captain Azizul Hakim Tamim, will face New Zealand on January 20 and the United States on January 23.

All of Bangladesh’s matches will be played in Zimbabwe. Fans in Bangladesh can watch the games live via Rabbithole streaming and on Star Sports, which will also broadcast matches in India, Sri Lanka, and Nepal, according to the ICC.
