India great Virender Sehwag has revealed the first five players he would pick if given the task of building a dream ODI XI. Sehwag is well-known as one of the best ODI batters in recent times, with the dynamic right-hander having scored 8273 runs in 251 matches and 15 centuries for India in 50-over cricket with his unique attacking style at the top of the batting order.
India produced a dominant show to crush Maldives 8-0 in the semifinal and qualify for the SAFF U-16 Championship summit clash on Friday. While Aiborlang Kharthangmaw and Mohammad Arbash scored a brace each, Vishal Yadav, Mohammed Kaif, Levis Zangminlun and Manbhakupar Malngiang scored one goal apiece. The Blue Colts controlled the proceedings from the beginning and created several chances before taking the lead in the 21st minute, when Karish Soram's aerial assist saw Yadav go past a couple of defenders to shoot the ball in.
Sri Lanka coach Chris Silverwood and his Bangladesh counterpart Chandika Hathurasingha on Friday expressed displeasure over the unilateral decision to provide a reserve day for the Super 4 match between India and Pakistan. Earlier in the day, the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) announced that the Indo-Pak match could resume on September 11 if the rain plays spoilsport on September 10. However, the other matches will not have a reserve day though rain is predicted in the Sri Lankan capital through the Super 4s. Hathurasingha said he was not aware of the reason behind the sudden change in Asia Cup playing conditions.
The Super Four clash between India and Pakistan at the Asia Cup in Colombo will now have a reserve day to ensure a full game as weather threatens to disrupt play.

National Under-19 football head coach Shuvendu Panda on Friday announced a 23-member Indian squad for the SAFF U-19 Championship, to commence in Kathmandu on September 21. The squad flew to Saudi Arabia for an exposure-cum-training camp early on Friday from where they will travel to the Nepal capital on September 19. India has been drawn in Group B along with Bhutan and Bangladesh, while Group A comprises the hosts, Maldives and Pakistan.
Survival will be foremost in Bangladesh's mind whereas Sri Lanka will aim for a winning start when they cross swords in the second Super 4 match of the Asia Cup on Saturday. A seven-wicket towelling at the hands of Pakistan in the Super 4 opener in Lahore has made a victory mandatory for Bangladesh against the Lankans, assuming that the weather remains dry enough for the match to take place. A defeat will almost certainly put an end to their Asia Cup campaign. Batting is their main concern, and they will have to address it immediately.
Pakistan cricket team skipper Babar Azam has already turned his focus to the Super 4 clash against India in the Asia Cup, suggesting that the Pakistan team will give their 100 percent in Round 2 of their highly-anticipated clash, which is to take place on Sunday in Colombo. Pakistan faced Bangladesh in their first Super 4 match and Babar's men barely looked troubled by Shakib Al Hasan's team. Pakistan kicked off the Super Four with a dominant 7-wicket victory against Bangladesh on Wednesday in the Gaddafi Stadium.
