Bangladesh A sealed a 4-0 series sweep over Ireland A after winning the fifth and final one-dayer by 76 runs in Cox’s Bazar Thursday. Middle-order batsman Yasir Ali led the way for the home side with an unbeaten 101-ball 102, composed with eight fours and five sixes as Bangladesh A, asked to bat first, posted a competitive 286 for the loss of six wickets in 50 overs. Player of the match Yasir received valuable support from opener Shadman Islam, who scored a patient 103-ball 68, featuring four boundaries and a sixer.

John Anderson chipped in with a 57-ball 45, laced with five boundaries and a sixer, as he and Tector added 83 for the third wicket to raise brief hope of a consolation victory. But the fall of wickets at regular intervals meant the tourist were never really in the hunt. Seamer Abu Haider Rony was the most successful bowler for the host with three wickets while pacer Imran Ali and spinner Sanjamul Islam picked up two each.
