Bangladesh start Asia Cup by beating Afghans

Bangladesh got off to a flying start in the Under-19 Asia Cup. The red-green representatives defeated Afghanistan by 45 runs in their first match of the tournament. Afghanistan had sent Bangladesh into bat after winning the toss at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Bangladesh lost opener Jawad Abrar (0) early in the match. However, another opener Kalam Siddiqui and captain Azizul Hakim, who was out for three, overcame the pressure by putting on a 142-run stand for the second wicket and put Bangladesh on the path to a fighting score. It was with the bat of these two youngsters that Bangladesh finally found the capital to fight. Azizul played a brilliant innings of 103 runs before Sajghar returned off the ball of Nuristani Omarzai. On the other hand, Kalam scored 66 runs before being bowled off the ball of Ghazanfar. Although the other batsmen of the team could not do much, Bangladesh finally reached 228 runs for 9 wickets in 50 overs thanks to them. Abdul Aziz, Nuristani and Khatir Stanikzai took the highest two wickets each for Afghanistan. Chasing 229 runs, Afghanistan did not get off to a bad start. Faisal Khan Ahmadzai's fifty (53) and Nasser Khan Marufkhil's thirty-plus innings (34) kept them in orbit. But the Afghans lost their way as soon as the team's score crossed 150 runs. After losing the fifth wicket for 159 runs, their innings ended in the blink of an eye. Al Fahad and Iqbal Hossain Emon bowled Afghanistan for 183 runs in the end. These two bowlers took three wickets each.

Bangladesh's next match in the U-19 Asia Cup is against Nepal on December 1.
