Another defeat in Dunedin tune-up
The Bangladesh Under-19 team's 10-day camp in Dunedin ended with a 24-run defeat to Otago A in the third and final practice match at the University of Otago Oval yesterday.
The U-19s will now play two lead-up games against Pakistan and Afghanistan in Christchurch before taking the field for the ICC Under-19 World Cup against Namibia in their first group match on January 14. The remaining two group matches against Canada and England will be held on January 15 and 18 respectively.
The first practice match in Dunedin was washed out while Bangladesh lost the second match by six wickets.
In yesterday's match, Otago A piled on 278 for three in 50 overs thanks to unbeaten centuries from Hawkins and Visabadiya. Hasan Mahmud bagged two wickets for 37 runs.
In reply, skipper Saif Hassan and Aminul Islam's half centuries were not enough to salvage the defeat as Bangladesh Under-19s were eventually bowled out for 254 in 49.1 overs.
