    “This is a dream come true. This is just the beginning for us” – Man of the Match MONDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 2020 Akbar Ali Skipper Akbar steers Bangladesh to Under-19 World Cup triumph AFP POTCHEFSTROOM (SOUTH AFRICA) BANGLADESH captain Akbar Ali kept his calm to lead his team to a stunning three-wicket win over India in Potchefstroom to win the Under-19 World Cup for the first time. Chasing 178 to win, Bang- ladesh were struggling at 102 for six but Akbar, who finished 43 not out, dragged them towards the line. A brief flurry of rain saw the players leave the field with Bangladesh on 163 for seven. When they returned the tar- get had been adjusted under DLS to 170 from 46 overs. Bangladesh needed seven from 30 balls and Akbar and Rakibul Hasan duly knocked off the runs to claim Bangladesh’s first World Cup at any level. “It’s an unbelievable expe- rience,” said Rakibul who hit the winning run. “We came here with plans and it worked out really well. Whichever team executes their plans better on the day wins, and that happened for us today.” The day started well for Bangladesh when Akbar called correctly at the toss and put India in to bat. Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal was again the stand-out bats- man for defending champions India as he carved 88 from 121 balls.

It was a difficult season for Arsenal. The team finished 6th in the league – it’s worst position for over 20 years. During the season, Arsenal lost two great attacking players in Alexis Sanchez (who went to Man Utd), and Olivier Giroud (who went to Chelsea). You can see from the table below that those two guys took lots of shots. Arsenal needed to replace them to keep scoring goals. Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang came to the club and did just that.
