Bangladesh pacer Iqbal Hossain Emon picked up three wickets to leave India in trouble during the final of the Asia Cup 2024 Under-19 tournament in Dubai on Sunday.
Emon took 3/17 in six overs in his first spell to leave India reeling on 107/7 in 30 overs after they were set 199 for victory on a tough pitch. Captain Mohamed Amaan was holding one end up, with a cautious 25 from 59 balls.
The medium pacer dismissed K P Karthikeya (21) and Nikhil Kumar (0) in his fifth over before he had Harvansh Singh caught by Hasan Faysal for six.
Seamer Al Fahad struck with the wicket of Kiran Chormale for one as Bangladesh's bowlers kept chipping away at the wickets to take control of the title clash.
Bangladesh made a good comeback with the ball. India opener Ayush Mhatre perished in the second over when he was bowled by pacer Al Fahad for one before his partner Vaibhav Suryavanshi fell to the Maruf Mridha for nine.
Andre Siddarth made a good start as he stroked 20 with three fours before he was bowled by pacer Rizan Hossan in his first over.
Earlier, India's bowlers came up with a disciplined performance to bowl out Bangladesh for 198 in the title clash.
Yudhajit Guha (2/29), Chetan Sharma (2/48) and Hardik Pandya (2/41) picked up two wickets each, while Kiran Chormale, K P Karthikeya and Ayush Mhatre bagged a wicket each to bundled out Bangladesh in 49.1 overs.
Rizan Hossan top scored for Bangladesh with a fluent 47, while Mohammad Shihab James stroked 40 as the duo put on 62 runs for the fourth wicket to revive Bangladesh after a few early wickets.
But India's bowlers kept chipping away at the wickets before Hasan Faysal's vital knock of 39 saved Bangladesh the blushes.
Bangladesh struggled to get going before Guha made the breakthrough as he dismissed Siddiki Aleen for one before Sharma got the wicket of Zawad Abrar for 20.
Captain Hakim Tamim made an encouraging start as he made 16, with a four and a six, but failed to carry on as he fell to Chormale, in the 19th over with Bangladesh slipping to 66/3.
Hossan and James looked to rebuild Bangladesh in the middle overs but they struggled to get the momentum.
