U-15s lift title in SL


Bangladesh Under-15 cricket team won the triangular tournament title with a massive 109-run victory over hosts Sri Lanka Under-15s in the final at the Premadasa Cricket Stadium in Colombo yesterday.

It was also a sweet revenge for the visitors after their two-wicket defeat in their group league match of the meet which also involves Malaysia.

Majumdar hit 79 and Ali 51 as Bangladesh scored 237 in 42 overs before being all out. The match was fixed 46-overs-a-side due to early morning rain.

In reply, Sri Lanka were bundled out for 128 in 38 overs.

Captain Humayun Kabir caused the home side collapse picking up four wickets.
