Bangladesh rolled over Sri Lanka by 39 runs in Match 11 of the ACC Under-19 Asia Cup 2025 at ICC Academy Ground in Dubai on Wednesday, December 17, 2025.
Being pushed in to bat first after losing the toss, Bangladesh got a solid opening stand by openers - Zawad Abrar (49) and Rifat Beg (36) but lost plot in the middle and got wrapped up for 225 in 47 overs. Kavija Gamage's 4-for played a key role in BAN's undoing.
In response to the target of 226, Sri Lanka's batting could not put up a tight against a disciplined Bangladeshi attack and got bundled for just 186 just losing the match by 39 runs. Iqbal Hossain Emon and Shahriar Ahmed picked 3 wickets each and broke the back of SL's chase.
With the victory, Bangladesh have managed to top the Group B and will now face India in the semi-finals, meanwhile Sri Lanka will lock horns with Pakistan.
