Left-handed opener Adarsh Singh and skipper Uday Saharan hit patient fifties as India managed a decent 251 for 7 against a disciplined Bangladesh in their U-19 World Cup opener here on Saturday.

Left-arm seamer Maruf Mridha (5/43) did damage at the start and during slog overs by bowling in right areas but would be a bit miffed with his skipper, who got his calculations wrong and didn't let him complete his quota of 10 overs.
