Bangladesh win by 6 wickets | Live Cricket Score Updates Bangladesh vs Nepal ICC Under-19 World Cup 2016

Bangladesh win by 6 wickets to enter the semi-final of the Under-19 World Cup for the first-time ever.

Live Score Bangladesh U19 215/4 after 48.2 Overs: Bangladesh win by six wickets in the end. This is the first time that the hosts have entered the last four of a global tournament. It has been a run chase well paced. Keeping wickets in hand was the key. The Bangladeshis did it with poise, pacing the run chase to perfection.

Live Score Bangladesh U19 144/4 after 40 Overs: Bangladesh are consolidating here. 68 required from 60 with six wickets in hand. It can go either way. Wickets are the key for both teams. Let us see if the hosts can hold on or will the Nepalese team have something up their sleeve? We will wait and watch.

Live Score Bangladesh U19 104/4 after 30 Overs: Bangladesh are huffing and puffing. Nepal into the match fairly and squarely. This match can go either way. What a cracker of a quarter-final. Nazmul Hossain Shanto c & b Lamichhane 8 (6), Joyraz Sheik lbw b Dhamala 38 (67)    

Live Score Bangladesh U19 62/2 after 20 Overs: Bangladesh is not playing this smartly it seems. The run rate is modest and they are losing wickets too. They got to pick up the ante here. The good thing of course is that the target is modest. We have a match on folks. Pinak Ghosh run out (Kandel) 32 (54)

Live Score Bangladesh U19 21/1 after 10 Overs: Very cautious start by the hosts. They may be playing with danger here. They do not have a big total to chase but you should not get over-cautious. They need to get some momentum now, and sooner than later. Saif Hassan lbw b Dhamala 5 (21)        

Bangladesh require 212 in 50 overs to win.

Live Score Nepal U19 211/9 after 50 Overs: Not enough on the board for Nepal. Their problem of the lack of the thrust in the innings continues. Bangladesh are favourites to win from here on. K Bhurtel run out (Pinak Ghosh/Mehedi Hasan Miraz) 14 (17), DS Airee b Mehedi Hasan Miraz 22 (45), S Kandel run out (Mohammad Saifuddin) 2 (4)           

Live Score Nepal U19 160/6 after 40 Overs: Nepal are trying really hard but it seems it is not enough. They are losing wickets and the run rate is not improving by much. R Rijal*† run out (Nazmul Hossain Shanto/†Zakir Hasan) 72 (80), Rajbir Singh lbw b Saleh Ahmed Shawon 9 (22)    

Live Score Nepal U19 128/4 after 30 Overs: Nepal not able to get any sort of momentum here. They continue to lose wickets consistently. They run rate is an issue here. They must look to up the ante before it is too late. Aarif Sheikh c Joyraz Sheik b Mohammad Saifuddin 21 (32)    

Live Score Nepal U19 71/3 after 20 Overs: Nepal are losing wickets on a consistent basis here. The pitch may ease down for batting come the second innings. So, a good score is the need of the hour for the Nepalese team. They must dig deep. S Dhamala run out (Nazmul Hossain Shanto/†Zakir Hasan) 25 (62)       

Live Score Nepal U19 33/2 after 10 Overs: Not the best start for Nepal. They need to consolidate here. Bangladesh know the conditions at the back of their hand and are on the money. We will wait and see if the pattern changes. S Sunar b Mohammad Saifuddin 7 (12), YS Karki c Saif Hassan b Mehedi Hasan Rana 1 (2) 

Nepal have won the toss and have elected to bat.

Here are the teams:

Bangladesh:

Saif Hassan, Pinak Ghosh, Joyraz Sheik, Nazmul Shanto, Mehedi Miraz*, Zakir Hasan†, Mohammad Saifuddin, Saeed Sarkar, Mehedi Rana, Ariful Islam, Saleh Shawon

Nepal:

Sunil Dhamala, Sandeep Sunar, Yogendra Karki, Raju Rijal*†, Aarif Sheikh, Rajbir Singh, Dipendra Airee, Kushal Bhurtel, Prem Tamang, Sushil Kandel, Sandeep Lamichhane

It is expected to be an interesting contest at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur. Nepal have been a plucky team in the tournament thus far. For them to have made it to the quarter-final has been one of the stories of the tournament. They will look to pull off a big surprise here, but will need to dig really dip for any chance against the mighty hosts. (Also Check: Bangladesh vs Nepal ICC Under-19 World Cup 2016: Free Live Cricket Streaming of BAN vs NEP U19 on Starsports.com)

The fact that we call Bangladesh mighty now is a testimony of how much their cricket has improved. They are in home conditions, knowing what to expect. They will require a huge slip to let this one go. They must be wary of the first blow though. There is expected to be some early movement as it is going to be a 9 am start local time. That may be Nepal’s best chance to set the cat among the pigeons. (Also Read: ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup 2016 Schedule: Time Table, Fixture & Venue Details of all U-19 WC 2016 Matches)
