Bangladesh U-19 lost their First Practice Match

Bangladesh Under-19s suffered a 31-run defeat to their West Indies counterparts in their first unofficial practice match at Brisbane in Australia yesterday.

Opener Liton Kumar Das played a patient knock of 63 off 104 balls that saw two fours and a six, after which number six batsman Al-Amin took charge during his 24-ball 44 that contained three fours and as many sixes. Their effort was however not enough to overtake the West Indies Under-19s' total of 249-7.
Bangladesh were ultimately bundled out for 218 runs in 48.1 overs. Asif Ahmed (35) and Mosaddek Hossain Saikat (31) were the other notable scorers.
Kyle Mayers claimed three wickets for 49 runs.
Earlier, Wesit Indies opener Kraigg Brathwaite might have missed a hundred by just one run but his innings and the 84-run opening partnership with Sunil Ambris guided West Indies Under-19s to a fighting total.
The right-handed Brathwaite, who made his Test debut against Pakistan in May 2011, smote four boundaries during his 138-ball 99 while Sunil added 41 off 55 balls with the help of four boundaries and a six.
Taskin Ahmed, Dewan Sabbir and Nur Hossain Munna took two wickets each.
