Zawad Abrar and Rifat Beg walk out to the middle, with Abrar taking strike for the first delivery. Umar Zaib has the new ball in hand and is ready to begin proceedings.

Disaster start for Bangladesh U-19! BANU19 are reeling at 12 for 3 in just 2.4 overs, with Ali Raza ripping through the top order in a stunning opening burst. He strikes twice in the same over, removing both openers with sharp movement and relentless accuracy. The Bangladesh batters looked unsure against the pace and bounce, offering edges and mistimed shots as Pakistan seized early control. The dressing room is already on edge, and the pressure is firmly on the incoming batters to arrest the collapse before it turns into a full-blown top-order meltdown.

Bangladesh U-19 begin to steady the innings after the early wobble. Rizan Hossan and Kalam Siddiki Aleen stitch together a calm partnership, rotating strike smartly and punishing the loose ball. The over yields nine crucial runs, easing some pressure as BANU19 move to 48 for 3. Rizan looks settled on 16 off 19, while Aleen’s 13 from 15 shows positive intent.

Another setback for Bangladesh U-19 just when they were trying to rebuild. Mohammad Sayyam strikes with a crucial wicket, removing Md Rizan Hossan for a patient 18 off 32, caught smartly by Mohammad Shayan in the field. The over costs just four runs and keeps the pressure firmly on as BANU19 slip to 61 for 4. Kalam Siddiki Aleen remains at the crease on 20, but he now has a fresh partner in Shahriar Ahmed, who walks in with Bangladesh once again needing stability.

Another blow for Bangladesh U-19 as the collapse continues. Momin Qamar strikes at a vital moment, with Shahriar Ahmed edging one to Farhan Yousaf after a scratchy 8 off 25 balls. The over goes for just five runs, and BANU19 slide to 95 for 5, losing yet another set batter. Md Farid Hasan Faysal walks in under immediate pressure and can’t get off the mark first up, while Kalam Siddiki Aleen remains stranded on 47, running out of reliable partners.

Another wicket pushes Bangladesh U-19 deeper into trouble. Usman Khan strikes with a sharp breakthrough, as Farid Hasan Faysal’s scratchy stay ends on 9 off 30, caught safely by Momin Qamar in the deep. It’s a tight over for just two runs, and BANU19 slide to 118 for 6, once again losing momentum just when a recovery looked possible. Md Abdullah walks in with immediate pressure, unable to get off the mark first up, while Kalam Siddiki Aleen, now on a patient 60 off 84, is left carrying Bangladesh’s hopes almost single-handedly.

Bangladesh U-19 continue to grind forward in a now 44-over reduced contest, trying to squeeze every possible run from the middle phase. The over brings just three runs, keeping the scoring rate in check as BANU19 move to 133 for 6. Kalam Siddiki Aleen holds firm on 68 off 95, showing admirable patience, while Md Abdullah chips in with 6 from 8.

Another twist in Bangladesh U-19’s difficult innings as Ali Raza strikes yet again. Md Abdullah’s stay ends on 11 off 12, beaten all ends up and bowled by a sharp delivery that sneaks through his defence. Bangladesh slip to 142 for 7. Aleen moves to 69 off 96, continuing his lone battle, while Ratul is thrown straight into the pressure cooker.

In Bulawayo, India have struck early to leave Scotland in trouble at 10 for 1 in the fourth over. Deepesh Devendran deals the first blow, having Olly Pillinger caught by Abhigyan Kundu for 2 early on in their daunting 375-run chase. Max Chaplin joins Theo Robinson in the middle for the Scots.

Rain has the final say in this warm-up clash, forcing the match to be abandoned with no result. Bangladesh U-19 finish on 152 for 7 in 36.3 overs when play is called off, unable to push on further as the weather worsens. It brings a frustrating end to what was shaping up to be a competitive contest, with Bangladesh showing signs of recovery after early trouble.
