1:01 PM IST Decision to bat first backfires on Bangladesh - Earlier in the game, Bangladesh Under-19s' decision to bat first backfired with a mediocre batting display, resulting in them being bowled out for a mere 136 runs in 38.1 overs. A brief 46-run second-wicket stand between Rifat Beg and Azizul Hakim Tamim was the only notable partnership. After Farhan Ahmed broke this stand, a middle-order collapse ensued. Despite late resistance from Md Abdullah and Shahriar Ahmed, a disciplined and relentless England bowling attack, led by Sebastian Morgan, Manny Lumsden, and Ralphie Albert, ensured Bangladesh never posted a competitive total.

12:59 PM IST Bangladesh's bowlers fought hard but fell short - Despite defending a meagre 136, the Bangladesh bowlers put in a valiant effort and managed to rattle England's top order early on. Their hopes were quickly diminished, however, by the aggressive counter-attack launched by England's skipper, Rew, which swiftly took the game away from them. Among the bowlers, only Al Fahad and Samiun Basir Ratul found success. Fahad claimed two of England's wickets, while Samiun took one. The rest of the teammates went wicketless despite their commendable effort.
