BD U-19s lose again

A brilliant unbeaten century by Harry Finch led England Under-19s to a five wicket victory over Bangladesh U-19s at Grace Road, Leicester last night. Chasing a target of 171, the hosts chased down the target with three balls remaining. It was England's first win of the tri-nation tournament, involving Pakistan as well.
Earlier, after an early hiccup, a captain's knock from Mehedy Hasan helped Bangladesh Under-19 to a decent total of 170.
Mehedy hit a 61-ball 41 that included eight boundaries as Bangladesh Under-19s recovered from 61 for five to score 170 all out in 42.3 overs. Joyraz Sheikh was the other notable scorer with a 51-ball 29 and shared in a 69-run sixth wicket partnership with Mehedy.
Right-arm paceman Jack Winslade was the most successful bowler, taking four wickets for 39 runs.
Bangladesh Under-19s won their first match against their English counterparts by 38 runs.
Meanwhile, pacer Mustafizur Rahman returned home yesterday, laid low by an ankle injury which will take six weeks to heal.
