Six wickets for 29 runs with 1 maiden in 10 overs. Mahfuzur Rahman Rabbi, the left-arm spinner of the Bangladesh Under-19 team, bowled such devastating bowling in the final of the tri-series. The Afghanistan Under-19 team was crushed for 143 runs in 37 overs. Mohammad Harun Khan has struggled a bit against Rabbi’s deadly bowling. Thanks to his half-century, the score of the Afghan youth has reached close to 150. Rizwan Chowdhury (43 off 49 balls) and Zeeshan Alam (35 off 19 balls) batted brilliantly, surpassing that run in 23.2 overs and winning by 6 wickets.

Afghanistan won the toss and elected to bat first at the Tolerance Oval ground in Abu Dhabi on Thursday. The start wasn’t bad either. The team score crossed 50 for the loss of 1 wicket; But as soon as Rabbi came into the attack, there was a big collapse in their batting line-up. At this time, the Afghan score turned from 53 runs for 1 wicket to 60 runs for 5 wickets after losing 4 wickets in the space of just 7 runs. Rabbi took three of these four wickets. Then a 54-run partnership with Khalid Taniwal for the sixth wicket turned around from the rubble and crossed the Afghan score of 100; But even after breaking the pair by bowling Taniwal directly, they could not go far if the rabbi’s wicket celebration continued. Mohammad Haroon Khan scored the highest 65 runs in 62 balls for Afghanistan. Rafi Uzzaman Rafi took two wickets for 33 runs.

It is to be noted that Sri Lanka participated in this series along with Bangladesh and Afghanistan.
