In the third U19 ODI in England, Bangladesh managed to bat for only 18 overs before rain brought their innings to a halt.
For the second consecutive match, Rifat Beg played a fifty, giving Bangladesh’s U19 team a strong foundation. However, after crossing the century mark, the team could not continue batting due to the downpour.
The third match of the five-match U19 ODI series against England U19 was ultimately abandoned due to rain.
Batting first after losing the toss in Bristol on Wednesday, Bangladesh reached 101/2 in 18 overs before the weather intervened.
- The opening partnership added 50 runs, with Jawad Abrar contributing 23 before getting out.
- Rifat Beg scored 51 off 57 balls with 7 fours and a six, matching his fifty from the previous game.
- Captain Azizul Hakim Tamim remained unbeaten on 19, while Rizan Hossain was 2 not out.
After winning the first match by 87 runs and England leveling the series with a 4-wicket victory in the second, the series remains finely poised.
The fourth match will take place in Bexenham on Friday.
