Rejan’s Century and Samiun’s Four Wickets Lead Bangladesh U-19 to Victory Over England

In the first match of a five-match Youth ODI series, the Bangladesh Under-19 team defeated the England Under-19 team by 87 runs on Friday, September 5, 2025, at Haslegrave Ground in Loughborough. Powered by a century from Rejan Hossain and a stellar bowling performance by Samiun Basir, Bangladesh secured a commanding victory.

Batting first, Bangladesh posted a total of 292 runs in 49.2 overs, thanks to Rejan Hossain’s 100 runs off 101 balls, which included 9 fours and 1 six. Rejan anchored the innings after the fall of the third wicket at 69, forming a crucial 148-run partnership for the fourth wicket with Kalam Siddique, who scored 68 runs off 84 balls.
