Iqbal Hossain Emon claimed 3-41 as Bangladesh Under-19 team bowled out USA for 199 in 50 0vers in their last group match of the Youth World Cup at Takashinga Sports Club, Highfield, Harare today.


Fellow pacer Al Fahad, Shahriar Ahmed and Rizan Hossan grabbed two wickets apiece to complement Emon in making USA batting line up disarray after Bangladesh put them into bat first.

Adnit Jhamb put a brave fight for USA to hit 69 ball-68 not out with three fours and one six, an innings which edged them closer to 200-run mark despite top order collapse.

Emon and Fahad took one wicket apiece in the first three overs to leave USA 6-2 by removing Amrinder Gill and Arjun Mahesh respectively.

Sahil Garg and captain Utkrash Srivastava tried to repair with 51-run partnership but Shahriar broke through with the wicket of the Garg who made 35.

Emon and Rizan then joined the party to scythe down the middle order before Adnit resisted. He guided the lower order astutely to make the scoreboard respectable to some extent.

Bangladesh earlier suffered an 18-run defeat to India on DLS in their first match before their second match against New Zealand was washed out, reports BSS.
