Bangladesh Under-19 beat Nepal Under-19 by 5 wickets
That is all from this game. The other Super six game between Australia and England is currently going on. That game is delayed due to rain but join us for the coverage there by switching the tabs. From here, it is goodbye.
Mahfuzur Rahman says they batted really well which is good for them and their confidence. Adds Jishan Alam was given the freedom to play his shots. Shares there is still a lot to improve in bowling and fielding departments.
Dev Khanal says they were 50-60 runs as a couple of batters didn't play to their potential. Adds they need to rotate the strike more and take the game deeper. Reckons Subash Bhandari and Bishal Bikram KC played really well but still feels they can play better cricket. Credits the way Bangladesh Under-19 played. Feels there is always friendly banter but it is casual in such kind of games.
...Presentation...
Md Rohanat Doullah Borson has been given the Man of the Match Award. He says he’s pleased with his performance and only wanted to stick to the basics and it worked out well. Reckons he is happy with his performance as it keeps the semi-final hopes alive.
Nepal were just under par in this game. They were poor with the bat and then their bowlers just weren’t accurate with their lines and lengths. They can’t be blamed as they did not have enough on the board but they’ll be disappointed with how easily they let Bangladesh score the runs. They were outplayed completely. Only Subash Bhandari stood out with four wickets. Even their fielding wasn't that great when it mattered the most. Bangladesh Under-19 too dropped some catches but Nepal had to grab their ones as they didn't have enough runs on the board.
A thumping win then for Bangladesh. It was all set up by their bowlers. They kept Nepal to a very low score and their batters batted with great intent to chase it down. Jishan Alam scored a fine fifty and the rest played around him. Most of their batters went after the bowlers and hence they lost a few wickets. Ariful Islam then was in a hurry as he played some brilliant shots to get his fifty as well. Overall a very complete performance by their side.
