Home crowd cheer B'desh to victory Chris Dhambarage reporting from Bangladesh Bangladesh cheered by a near capacity home crowd of 25,000 fans, edged out Australia by eight runs to clinch the Plate championship at the fifth ICC under 19 Youth World Cup cricket tournament at the Fatullah Stadium here today. Bangladesh batting first after winning the toss in this final hit up 257 for 9 from their 50 overs and then bowled out the Australians for 249 runs in 49.3 overs. Bangladesh were made to fight until the end following some determined batting from the late order batsmen. In fact the Australians had an outside chance of pulling off a victory with eleven runs required from the last over. But the major concern was that they had lost eight wickets by that stage and the Bangladesh spinners were really bowling well to their field. Their match winner was undoubtedly Enamul Haque who picked up a five wicket haul and the man of the match award. The left arm spinner bowled a superb last over and captured two wickets to put an end to Australia's run chase. |
