Bangladesh Bangladesh exit Under-19 WC after India defeat champions
Dhaka, 30 January 2022: The bowlers have tried their best. But the batsmen have already finished everything which led to Bangladesh's exit from Under-19 World Cup.
How much more can be fought with the capital of only 111 runs! Bangladesh U-19 team could not even fight to win the match. After losing by 5 wickets to India, the current champions have been eliminated from the quarter finals of the Youth World Cup.
Chasing an easy target of 112 runs in Antigua, India won by 115 balls, breaking Bangladesh's dream and making it to the semifinals. However, the bowlers moved India to score 70 runs for 1 wicket. Ripon Mandal's cannon suddenly turned the Indian youth into 96 runs for 5 wickets. But since the target was small, it was not difficult for them to pick up the victory. Ankish Raghubani's bat comes from the team's highest 44 runs.
Fast bowler Ripon Mandal took 4 wickets for 31 runs. Another pacer Tanjim Hasan Shakib took the remaining one wicket.
Earlier, Bangladesh's innings was reduced to 111 runs in 36.1 overs. After losing the toss and opting to bat, the champions fell to the Indian bowlers. They lost half a wicket in the innings to make 3 for 38 and 14 runs.
Only one of the first six batsmen (Ich Mollah 18) has touched the double digit quota. The rest were just coming and going.
After Mahfizul Islam (2), Iftikhar Hossain (1), marginal Nowroz Nabil (7), Ariful Islam (9), Mohammad Fahim (0), captain Rakibul (6) could not take the helm of the team.
The champion youth was going to face extreme shame after losing 6 wickets for 56 runs. From there, SM Mehrab and Ashikur Zaman of the lower order somehow took the team to a place. Mehrab made 30 off 47 balls with 7 boundaries and Ashikur made 18 off 29 balls.
Ravi Kumar is the most successful bowler among the Indian youth team. He took 3 wickets with 14 runs. Vicky Ostal took 2 wickets.
