Sri Lanka U19 Vs Bangladesh U19
Bangladesh U19s won an important toss and elected to bat first in the decider for the table topper against Sri Lanka in the final fixture of the group stage of the ACC U19 Asia Cup 2019.
Bangladesh openers Tanzid Hasan and Mahmudul Hasan Joy got off to a decent start but soon Tanzid Hasan nicked one off Dilshan Madushanka’s bowling to wicket keeper Kamil Mishara to leave at 30/1 in the 8th over. The much-needed partnership for Bangladesh was given by Hasan Joy and Towhid Hridoy for the 3rd wicket in a partnership of 121 runs to provide Bangladesh the perfect platform to accelerate at the death.
Hridoy played for a well-deserved half century and Hasan Joy composed a mammoth 126 runs to propel Bangladesh U19s to 273. He paced his innings brilliantly as the opener punished the Sri Lankan youngsters in the death overs with a few vicious sixers and stunning boundaries.
The only Sri Lankan bowler to succeed was left arm pacer Dilshan Madushanka who picked up 3 wickets in his 10 over quota.
The Sri Lankan chase never really got going with regular wickets at constant intervals which drove them away from the required run rate. Kamil Mishara, Ahan Wickramasinghe and skipper Nipuna Dananjaya all made contributions of 30s but that wasn’t enough to get close to the opposition target.
A late fight back by all-rounder Rohan Sanjaya sparked a few hopes in the Sri Lankan dressing room, but that only lasted until the 48th over when he got out on 42 off 36 balls. Left arm spinner Rakibul Hasan was the chief destroyer of Sri Lanka who made 3 breakthroughs to restrict Sri Lanka to 231.
