In a preparatory match for the Under-19 World Cup, Bangladesh faced a significant defeat against Sri Lanka. The island nation showcased a revengeful performance, securing a 112-run victory in a rain-affected warm-up encounter at the Schwan University of Technology Oval in Pretoria.
Opting to bat first, Sri Lanka's opener Pulindu Perera provided a strong start with a half-century. Despite promising innings from middle-order batsmen, three run-outs hampered Sri Lanka's efforts to set a formidable total. They concluded their innings at 238 for 9 in 50 overs, with Wasi Siddiqui claiming 2 wickets for 26 runs in 6 overs for Bangladesh.
In response, Sri Lankan pacer Vishen Halambage dismantled Bangladesh's top order, dismissing two openers and the number four batsman, Chowdhury Rizwan. With the Tigers losing 4 wickets for 70 runs, Perera's off-break further troubled the middle order, securing 5 wickets in 4.5 overs.
Bangladesh found themselves at 119 for 9 when rain interrupted the game. As the match could not resume on the field, Sri Lanka emerged victorious by 112 runs through the rain rule.
