DHAKA, Nov 5, 2025 (BSS)- The Afghanistan Under-19 team leveled the five-
match series with an emphatic 102-run win over hosts Bangladesh Under-19 in 
the third youth ODI at Rajshahi Divisional Stadium today.

Bangladesh won the first match by five runs on DLS method before the second 
game was washed out.

Electing to bat first, Afghanistan put on a respectable 275-7, thanks to an 
unbeaten 68 from their captain Mahboob Khan. 

Uzairullah Niazai made 31 while opener Osman Sadat was the other notable 
contributor with 26.

Al Fahad and captain Azizul Hakim Tamim grabbed two wickets apiece for 
Bangladesh.

While one of Afghanistan was able to make a half-century, Bangladesh got two 
half-centurion in Kalam Siddiki Alin and Rizan Hossan. But despite their 
effort, Bangladesh were bowled out for a meager 173 in 37.2 overs, largely 
due to the abysmal batting from the others.

Kalam made team-best 71 off 79 with eight fours and one six while Rizan hit 
50 ball-51 with three fours and four sixes.

Opener Zawad Abrar added 25. Apart from these three, no batters could reach 
double digits with three batters bagging ducks.

Zaitullah Shaheen was the wrecker-in-chief with 4-40 while Wahidullah Zadran 
complemented him with 3-23.
