A batting collapse crippled Bangladesh A on the opening day of their first four-day match against South Australia in Darwin on Thursday, with No. 11 batter Anamul Haque top-scoring in a disappointing total of just 114 runs lasting only 34.5 overs.
Bangladesh A were knocked out of the Top End T20 yesterday after falling to a seven-wicket defeat against Adelaide Strikers Academy in Darwin, finishing ninth out of 11 teams.
Bangladesh A’s batting woes continued as they suffered a five-wicket defeat against Perth Scorchers Academy in the Top End T20 series in Darwin on Sunday.
Wicketkeeper-batter Mahidul Islam Ankon has been named captain of the 14-member Bangladesh A squad for the upcoming four-day match against South Australia, scheduled to be held in Darwin from August 28 to 31.
“And every player, along with the team management, has the same aim- to win the trophy,” he added.
“Our job is to play cricket. The players, the coaching staff are all professionals. We are more focused on our matches than anything else,” Bangladesh ‘A’ coach Mizanur Rahman Babul told reporters in Mirpur on Thursday.
Courtesy of Mahmudul Hasan Joy's century, Bangladesh A confirmed their ACC Emerging Teams Asia Cup semifinal spot by securing a 21-run victory against Afghanistan A in their final group game at the P Sara Oval yesterday.
Joy scored 100 off 114 deliveries, striking 12 fours and two sixes, while left-hander Zakir Hasan added 62 off 72 deliveries with the help of six fours and two sixes. Soumya Sarkar scored 48 off 42 while Sheikh Mahedi smashed a quick-fire 36 off just 19 balls with six fours and a six.
Bangladesh A were reduced to 16 for six in just 3.4 overs in a rain-curtailed game at Mong Kok against their Pakistani counterparts after winning the toss in the semifinal of the Women's Emerging Teams Cup. But despite the setback, the Tigresses held their nerve in a tight match to secure a six-run win against Pakistan in a nine-overs-a-side game and make it through to the final against India, set to be played today.
