Sri Lanka Under-19 suffered a humiliating defeat against the United Arab Emirates Under-19 in the ongoing Asia Cup tournament in Dubai.

After posting a modest target of 220, Sri Lanka Under-19 failed to defend the total, as the UAE team chased down the target in a tense game losing 8 wickets in the 49th over.

Sri Lanka Under-19’s chances of qualifying for the semi-final depend on defeating Bangladesh in the next game.
