In a must-win match to stay alive in the semi-final race, Bangladesh A secured a challenging total against Adelaide Strikers Academy in a T20 encounter. Having won only two of their first five matches, Bangladesh A not only needs a victory but also must boost their net run rate to advance.
Batting first after winning the toss in Darwin, Bangladesh A posted 175 for 4 in their allotted 20 overs. Opener Jishan Alam led the charge with a well-crafted 50 off 38 balls. Despite a solid start, his opening partner Naim Sheikh struggled, managing just 15 runs off 17 balls before being dismissed by Wadia.
Saif Hassan, batting at number three, followed a similar slow approach, scoring 15 runs off 19 balls. While Jishan kept the scoreboard ticking, Saif failed to shift gears, unable to capitalize on his time at the crease.
Jishan’s splendid knock included a well-deserved fifty, anchoring the innings. In the middle order, Afif Hossain and Yasir Ali provided the much-needed impetus. Their aggressive batting in the final five overs yielded 70 runs, with Afif remaining unbeaten on 49 off 23 balls and Yasir contributing an unbeaten 25 off 15 balls.
Bangladesh A now faces the task of defending this competitive total to keep their semi-final hopes alive while also improving their net run rate.
