The youngsters were in trouble as they were on 115 for seven. But Aich Mollah and Ashiqur Rahman’s 94-run partnership helped their team to fight back.

Aich missed out on a ton by just seven runs. He decorated his innings with 10 fours and two sixes for his 93 off 91. Ashiqur gave him perfect support and scored 50 off 58.

Indian U-19 'B' team were bowled out for just 53 runs. They lost early wickets as well and late couldn’t come back to the game.
