U-19s take lead


The Bangladesh Under-19 cricketers won their rain-interrupted third limited-overs match against hosts Malaysia by eight wickets at the STC cricket ground yesterday.

The visitors took a 2-1 lead in the four-match series after losing the second game by three wickets after a massive ten-wicket success in the first match. Bangladesh U-19s will play the last game tomorrow after a Twnety20 match scheduled for today against the Malaysian national team.

Rubel Hossain claimed four wickets and Shubhashis Roy captured three as Malaysia U-19s were reduced to 108-8 in 35.2 overs before rain stopped play.

Bangladesh achieved the revised target of 102 (35 overs) just in 15 overs with the loss of two wickets. Mohammad Mithun scored unbeaten 41 and Rony Talukdar added 35.
