Tigers need 66-run against Namibia

DHAKA: Bangladesh Under-19s bowling have taken all wickets of Namibia Under-19s giving away only 65-run in 32.5-over in the 21st Match of ICC Under-19 World Cup at Sheikh Kamal International Cricket Stadium in Cox’s Bazar on Tuesday (February 2).

Earlier in the day, Bangladesh Under-19s captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz won the toss and invited Namibia to bat first.

Tight bowling display by young tigers did not allow Namibia batsmen to free their hands. Only, N Davin’s 19-run and L Louwrens’ 17 helped them gather 65-run. No other batsmen could reach double digits.

Saleh Ahmed Shawon, Ariful Islam and Mehidy Hasan Miraz took two wickets each while Mohammad Saifuddin took one.
