Sahadat Ridoy’s five-wicket haul guided Bangladesh Under-17 to an impressive innings and 65-run win over their Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) counterpart in their second three-day match at BKSP Ground 4 yesterday.
With the home boys resuming the final day on 204 for four in their first innings, the match was expected to end in a draw but fast bowler Sahadat had other ideas.
A superb 71 from Akbar Ali in the morning enabled Bangladesh to post 342 and take a 140-run lead as CAB, who scored 202 in their first innings, in their second attempt had no answer to Sahadat’s 13-over spell as the quickie took five for 19 runs to end the visitors’ endeavour for just 75 runs.
The emphatic win gave Bangladesh a 1-0 lead in the four-match series.
