The Kabul Tribune (KT) — The first one-day match between Afghanistan U19 and Bangladesh
U19 concluded in a dramatic finish, with the home side claiming victory by 5
runs under the DLS method due to fading light at the venue.
Afghanistan U19 posted a competitive total of 265 runs for
the loss of 9 wickets, putting pressure on the visitors. Bangladesh U19
responded strongly, scoring 231 runs for 4 wickets in 46 overs, but the match
was halted as poor lighting made play impossible. Using the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern
(DLS) method, Bangladesh U19 was declared the winner by a narrow 5-run margin.
Despite the close result, the match showcased high-quality
cricket from both sides, with Afghanistan putting up a strong fight and
Bangladesh demonstrating resilience under pressure.
The second match of the series is scheduled for October 31
at the same venue, promising another exciting contest for fans
