Ahsan Al Mumin's Counter-Attacking 82 & Seneviratne's 4-Fer Headline Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka U19 Thriller
Ahsan Al Mumin scored an authoritative 82 to push Bangladesh U19 to 245 despite Sethmika Seneviratne's 4-wicket haul in a high-stakes Group B encounter in Muscat.
A scintillating 82-run masterclass from middle-order batter Ahsan Al Mumin rescued Bangladesh U19 from early trouble and guided them to a competitive 245 all out against Sri Lanka U19 at the Al Amerat Cricket Ground Turf 1.
Building Through Early Setbacks
After being inserted to bat, Bangladesh lost opener Abdullah Al Muhi (30 off 25) early on, but SK Jarif Siyam compiled a disciplined 59 off 83 deliveries to stabilize the innings. The stage was then seized by Ahsan Al Mumin, who struck two boundaries and cleared the boundary ropes four times in his 98-ball gem.
Sri Lanka's Fightback with the Ball
Sri Lanka's bowling unit kept applying pressure, led by right-arm pacer Sethmika Seneviratne who picked up 4 wickets for 52 runs in 9.4 overs. Spinner Gimhan Mendis supported admirably with 3 for 55. Bangladesh was eventually bowled out for 245 in the 50th over.
"The wicket had some early moisture, but Ahsan showed exceptional game awareness to rotate the strike and punish the loose deliveries."
