A victory would secure India’s position in the event’s knockout rounds, with them likely qualifying first in Group One and facing the second-placed team from Group 2 in the semis.
A loss to Nepal might cause India to miss the semi-finals, but it would necessitate Bangladesh winning Pakistan and both teams finishing the Super Six round with a greater net run rate than India.
India U19 (Playing XI): Adarsh Singh, Arshin Kulkarni, Musheer Khan, Uday Saharan(c), Priyanshu Moliya, Sachin Dhas, Aravelly Avanish(w), Murugan Abhishek, Raj Limbani, Saumy Pandey and Aaradhya Shukla.
