Bangladesh U-19s stay alive
Bangladesh Under-19 team kept their hopes alive for a series win when they levelled the four-match one-day series against the West Indies 1-1 with a four-wicket victory against the visiting U-19s yesterday.
After the first match was washed out, the hosts crashed to a 73-run defeat to West Indies, who skittled out for 154 in the third match at the Fatullah Stadium.
In reply, Nadimuddin Mintu hammered half a dozen boundaries in a match winning 53 not out as the home side reached 155-6 in 38.2 overs.
Nasir Hossain, who made second highest 33, captured three wickets for 30 from ten overs but it was skipper Sohrawardy Shuva whose tight spell of 8-5-4-3 had reduced the Caribbean to a meagre total.
Opener Kieron Powell's 40-ball 44 was the best effort by the tourists, who play their last match tomorrow at the same venue.
