4:59 PM IST & 3:29 PM Local Time: What a dominating performance from Afghanistan U19! They have bundled out Bangladesh U19 for just 118, sealing a massive 113-run victory.
Afghanistan U19 won the toss and elected to bat but lost two wickets inside the powerplay. Bangladesh struck twice soon after to reduce them to 58/4, putting Afghanistan under considerable pressure. Taher Sarwary chipped in with 37, while Faisal Rahimi stood tall with a well-compiled 83 off 97 deliveries, bringing up a fine half-century along the way. However, Bangladesh tightened their grip in the final 10 overs and bowled Afghanistan out for 231 in 49 overs. Tafiul Alam Tamim was the pick of the bowlers with excellent figures of 4/41.
In reply, Bangladesh U19 endured a nightmare start as the new-ball duo of Amir Hamza and Noor Niazi made the ball talk, putting the top order under immense pressure. Wickets tumbled at regular intervals as Bangladesh were reduced to 27/5, leaving them with a mountain to climb. Only three batters managed to reach double figures, with Zarif Siam (41), Robiul Hasan Anik (33) and Rubai Islam Rizon (21) offering some resistance. However, Bangladesh were eventually bundled out for 118 in 25.5 overs as Afghanistan U19 registered a thumping 113-run victory. Amir Hamza (3/23), Noor Niazi (3/29) and Sami Mubarez (3/11) picked up three wickets apiece.
