BREAKING NEWS: Great win for Bangladesh over the champions

The Dhaka Times Desk In the beginning, Bangladesh won by defeating the champions. Damal boys of Bangladesh snatched this victory in the U-19 World Cup campaign.

A mediocre collection in a tidy bowling and a razor-sharp fielding made it difficult for the opposition. Nazmul Hossain Shanto gave a great innings with the bat. Bangladesh's under-19 World Cup campaign started with a great innings defeating the current champion South Africa by 43 runs.

In this game Bangladesh scored 240 runs for 7 wickets in 50 overs in an impeccable innings of 73 runs by Shantar. South Africa was never able to create a chance to win in the run chase. Opener Liam Smith made a great century keeping one end. However, the current champions were bowled out for 197 runs due to the failure of the rest.
