Bangladesh U19 sweep series against UAE with 9-wkt victory

Bangladesh U19 team claimed an emphatic series win over the UAE, taking the five-match ODI series 3-0 after rain washed out the first two games. 

The young Tigers demonstrated dominance across the matches, with an 8-wicket win in the third ODI, a massive 183-run triumph in the fourth, and a comfortable 9-wicket victory in the final match held at Dhaka's Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium.

In the fifth ODI, UAE chose to bat but struggled to build a substantial score, collapsing to 137 all out in 40.3 overs. Uddish Suri (29) and Yayin Kiran Rai (23) were the only UAE batsmen to reach double figures. Bangladesh�s bowlers shone, with Debasish Sarker leading the attack, taking four wickets, while Al Fahad, Sad Islam Rajin, Samiun Basir Tarul, Farhan Shahriar, and Rizan Hossain claimed a wicket each.

Bangladesh chased down the target in 20.4 overs, losing just one wicket. Zawad Abrar�s quick 41 off 46 balls set the pace, and after his dismissal, captain Kalam Siddiki Aleen (41*) and Shahrial Azmir Turjo (39*) comfortably carried the team to victory, securing a clean sweep.

This series win highlights Bangladesh U19�s growing strength, showcasing both batting and bowling potential in their youth cricket setup, and adding momentum to their future campaigns.
