The 2025 season of the ACC Men’s U-19 Asia Cup begins in Dubai at the ICC Academy Ground, where India faced the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the opening clash, while on the other hand, Pakistan locked horns with Malaysia at the Sevens Stadium in Dubai. The upcoming sensational opening batter, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, celebrated a fine century to light up the stage.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi finished with 171 runs in just 95 balls at a strike rate of 180, scoring nine boundaries and 14 over boundaries. India fired their way to 311/3 in 40 overs as the number three batter, Aaron George, clubbed 69 runs in 73 balls at a strike rate of 94.52.

List of players with 150+ in single innings during U-19 Men’s Asia Cup

5. Aryan Saxena (UAE)

The game took place at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium during the Under-19 Asia Cup by the Asian Cricket Council between Japan and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Aryan Saxena, the opener of the home side, slammed a fine knock of 150 runs in just 120 balls at a strike rate of 125 with the help of 16 boundaries and seven sixes. He put up a fine opening stand of 213 runs with Akshat Rai, who smashed 53 runs.

Their captain, Aayan Khan, nailed 45 runs in 33 balls as they ended with 325 runs on the board for the loss of seven wickets. In reply, Japan got bundled out for just 52 in 24.1 overs as only two of their batters made it into double figures. UAE clinched the victory by 273 runs.

4.    Shahzaib Khan (Pakistan)

From the same competition, it was the clash between the two arch-rivals, India and Pakistan, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Batted first, Pakistan’s opener, Shahzaib Khan, nailed 159 runs in 147 balls at a strike rate of 108.16, thanks to five boundaries and 16 sixes. He also decorated a 160-run opening stand with Usman Khan, who blasted 60 runs in 94 balls.

In the 282-run chase, the Indian side was bundled out for 238 runs, with only Nikhil Kumar getting 67 runs. The other batters got their starts but were not able to convert them into a big score. The Saad Baig-led side claimed the win by 43 runs.

3. Vaibhav Suryavanshi (India)

Vaibhav Suryavanshi ended with 171 runs in the clash against the United Arab Emirates. On the opening game of the U-19 Asia Cup in Dubai, the southpaw creamed the knock despite them losing their captain, Ayush Mhatre, in the third over of the first innings. UAE bowled well at patches, but once the Bihar batter got a few balls out of the middle of his blade, there was no respite for the bowlers.

Suryavanshi, heading into the event, didn’t enjoy a great run in the 50-over format with just 132 runs in six innings at an average of 22, thanks to one half-century. However, this century will be a massive confidence booster for the 14-year-old moving into the future.

2. Meet Bhavsar (Kuwait)

During the 2021 Asia Cup at the U-19 stage, Nepal posted a strong score of 239 runs in their 42.3 overs with Bibek Magar and Basir Ahmed celebrating their respective half-centuries with the bat. Meanwhile, Mohammad Alam smashed 49 runs in 42 balls at a strike rate of 116.66 with the help of two fours and five sixes.

Kuwait were never in the chase as they kept losing wickets from one end with their captain, Meet Bhavsar, seeking others to at least hold their crease. But he slammed an unbeaten knock of 175 runs in 149 balls at a strike rate of 117.44 with 24 boundaries and one six to take them over the line by one wicket with seven balls to spare.

1.Soumya Sarkar (Bangladesh)

It was the Asia Cup of the 2012 season, which took place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Bangladesh faced Qatar in the clash as the opening batter of the Bangladesh side, Soumya Sarkar, played a fabulous knock of 209 runs in 135 balls at a strike rate of 154.81 with the help of 27 boundaries and eight sixes. That remains the only double century of the U-19 ODIs.

In reply to Bangladesh’s massive score of 363 runs, Qatar got bundled out for 35 runs. Abu Hider Rony ended with magical figures of 9/10 in 5.4 overs at an economy rate of 1.76. Bangladesh pocketed the victory by 328 runs.

BAN vs IRE 1st T20I Match Preview:

The T20I series between Bangladesh and Ireland kicks off today at the Bir Sreshtho Flight Lieutenant Matiur Rahman Stadium, Bangladesh. Bangladesh entered this series with a point to prove, especially after a heavy 0-3 defeat against the West Indies in their previous T20I assignment at home. Before that, they had put up a stronger show, securing a series win over Afghanistan. With Liton Das taking charge as captain and wicketkeeper-batter, the hosts will be keen to regroup and return to winning ways.

Ireland, meanwhile, hasn’t enjoyed much success recently either. Their last T20I series ended in disappointment as England outplayed them, sealing the final match by six wickets. With Paul Stirling leading the side, Ireland will look to put their recent struggles behind them and script a fresh chapter with a positive result in the opening game.

On the fourth day of the second and final Test of the home series against Ireland, the Bangladesh left-arm spinner Taijul Islam created history, as he surpassed the legendary Shakib Al Hasan to set a new Test record for the national team. 

At the end of Ireland’s first innings of the ongoing Mirpur Test, Taijul Islam equalled Shakib Al Hasan in the list of most Test wickets by a Bangladesh bowler. While Taijul bagged four wickets in that first innings, he recorded 246 Test wickets, an equal number of Test wickets by a Bangladesh bowler, which Shakib Al Hasan previously held the record alone.

Taijul Islam becomes leading Test wicket-taker for Bangladesh

On the fourth day of the Mirpur Test, while Bangladesh set a monumental 509-run target for Ireland in the fourth innings, Taijul scalped three wickets to surpass Shakib Al Hasan to set a new record for most Test wickets by a Bangladesh bowler. 

In the sixth over of the fourth innings, Ireland lost their first wicket, as Taijul trapped Irish captain Andy Balbirnie (13) for an lbw dismissal to become the leading Test wicket-taker in Bangladesh cricket history. 

With two more wickets on the same day, Taijul finished the day with 249 Test wickets, as the left-arm spinner is one wicket away from becoming the first Bangladesh bowler to record 250 Test wickets. 

Bangladesh bowlers with most Test wickets

• Taijul Islam: 249 wickets
• Shakib Al Hasan: 246 wickets
• Mehidy Hasan Miraz: 209 wickets
• Mohammad Rafique: 100 wickets

Ireland stumped on the fourth day at 176/6. At the end of the fourth day, only Harry Tector (50) and Curtis Campher (34*) managed to reach the 20-run mark in the fourth innings.   

Earlier on the fourth day, Bangladesh declared their second innings of the match at 297/4, with the help of four half-centuries. Mahmudul Hasan Joy (60), Shadman Islam (78), Mominul Haque (87), and Mushfiqur Rahim (53*) played powerful knocks in the innings. 

The third day’s play during the second Test between Bangladesh and Ireland at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur, Dhaka, was briefly halted after an earthquake was felt at the ground. Ireland was 165/5 in their first innings just after the completion of the 55th over of the second innings when the tremors caused a short interruption.

The Irish players and the Bangladesh support staff, including their coaches, who were sitting under the stands during that over, came outside while some of the spectators also stood in the stadium. The umpires stopped the game for a moment while a few Bangladesh player sat on their haunches to feel the earthquake.

“Goodness. Play has stopped here due to a minor tremor/earthquake.” Cricket Ireland wrote on their X handled, which was formerly known as Twitter, while the Bangladesh Meteorological Department stated, “A 5.7-magnitude earthquake has been felt in Dhaka and other parts of Bangladesh today at 10:38 am.”

Bangladesh won the toss and had no hesitation in batting first in the game as they posted a huge total of 476 runs in the first innings. Mushfiqur Rahim, in his 100th Test match, celebrated a fine knock of 106 runs, while Mominul Haque nailed a fine knock of 63 runs. Meanwhile, Litton Das also scored 128 runs in just 192 balls at a strike rate of 66.67.

With the ball, Andy McBrine picked up his second six-wicket haul at the ground, joining the likes of Muttiah Murlitharan, Daniel Vettori, and Nathan Lyon among the visiting bowlers. McBrine ended with very good figures of 6/109 in his 33.1 overs at an economy rate of 3.30. The two other spinners, Matthew Humphreys and Gavin Hoey, also collected two wickets each.

Ireland were strolling at 94/5 towards the end of the second day before they showed great fight back in the third day. Doheny bagged 46 runs while the current stand between Jordan Neil, who nailed 49 runs, and Lorcan Tucker, added 74 runs for the eighth wicket. Ireland were trailing by 225 runs at 251/8 in 83 overs.

The former Bangladesh captain, Mushfiqur Rahim, has become the first Bangladesh player to feature in 100 Tests as he takes the field during the second Test against Ireland in Mirpur. One of the long-time servants of the country, the right-handed batter made his debut in 2005, making him the youngest debutant at Lord’s- a record that still stands. He captained the side in 34 Tests and kept wickets in 55 of them. 

Mushfiqur, unreasonably, is the leading run-getter of the Bangladesh side with 6351 runs at an average of 38.02 with 12 centuries. In his first 30 Tests from 2005 to 2012, the wicket-keeper batter has smacked 1587 runs at an average of nearly 29. Since then, he has clubbed 4764 runs at an average of 42.53, scoring 11 centuries and 18 half-centuries.

Rahim’s three Test centuries are the second-most among batters who bat at number 5 or below. Only the former Australia captain, Michael Clarke, is above them in the list with four centuries. Mushfiqur has been the backbone of Bangladesh’s fortunes in away games as his average of 38.70 is more away than at home (37.53).

Mushfiqur Rahim becomes first Bangladesh player to feature in 100 Tests

Among those batters who have collected 1000 runs in the longest format, Rahim has an average of 45.77, which is the highest first innings average for the country. In the first innings of the five-day format, he has recorded 4211 runs in 99 innings at an average of 45.77.

Rahim has played the second-most games (28) as the wicket-keeping captain, only behind MS Dhoni (60). Mushfiqur should have been playing his milestone Test at the Shere Bangla National Stadium, a venue where he has scored exactly 5000 runs- a record for most international runs at a single venue.

Rahim has Test hundreds in six nations, again the most for Bangladesh. He is also the only player of the country to score a Test hundred in all four Asian countries where Test cricket has been played (excluding the United Arab Emirates).

Bangladesh dominated the three-match home ODI series against West Indies, sealing a resounding win in the final game on Thursday (October 23). The Bangladesh cricket team showcased exceptional performance, recording their second-largest One Day International win by runs.

After choosing to bat first with the series tied at 1-1, Bangladesh posted a competitive total of 296/8 in 50 overs, setting a challenging target for the visitors. In response, the West Indies cricket team struggled under pressure, being bowled out for just 117 runs in 30.1 overs. Bangladesh triumphed by a massive 179-run margin, marking a historic day for Bangladesh cricket history.

This victory stands as their second-largest ODI win by runs, just short of their record 183-run win against Ireland during the 2023 Sylhet ODI. The win highlights Bangladesh’s growing dominance in international limited-overs cricket and their ability to deliver match-winning performances at home.

Bangladesh openers set 176-run partnership

Bangladesh openers Saif Hassan and Soumya Sarkar provided a very strong start for the hosts with a 176-run partnership for the first wicket. It was the second-highest opening partnership for Bangladesh in ODI history.

Their record remains a 292-run partnership between Tamim Iqbal and Litton Das against Zimbabwe during the 2020 Sylhet ODI. This partnership highlighted Bangladesh’s consistent strength in top-order batting in international cricket.

Saif scored 80 off 72 balls with six fours and six sixes, while Soumya scored 91 off 86 balls with seven fours and four sixes. Later, Najmul Hossain Shanto contributed 44 off 55 balls, hitting three sixes, and Towhid Hridoy added 28 off 44 balls. The remaining batters were unable to reach the 20-run mark, showing the dominance of the Bangladesh top order in the match.

Among the Caribbean bowlers, Akeal Hosein took four wickets for 41 runs. While the West Indies team had relied heavily on spinners in the previous 50-over ODI, which they won in a thrilling Super Over, they again used 43 overs of spin bowling in the series finale. This strategy underlined the West Indies’ emphasis on spin bowling in limited-overs cricket and their attempt to contain Bangladesh’s batting lineup.

West Indies Struggle: Just One Batter Crosses 20 in ODI Showdown

West Indies were never in the battle at the chase, as the visitors lost their wickets at regular intervals. Only their no.10 batter Akeal Hosein reached the 20-run mark in that innings as he scored 27 off 15 balls with four fours and one six. There were five more batters to manage double-digit scores, but they failed to reach the 20-run mark. 

All four used bowlers from Bangladesh managed to pick up at least two wickets. Nasum Ahmed (3/11) and Rishad Hossain (3/54) took three wickets each, while the skipper Mehidy Hasan Miraz (2/35) and Tanvir Islam (2/16) got two wickets each. 

Bangladesh claimed a big win against West Indies in the low-scoring first ODI of the three-match ODI series at Mirpur, where the leg-spinner Rishad Hossain generated the historic bowling figures for his nation. 

Rishad Hossain became first Bangladesh spinner to record an ODI six-wicket haul

Bangladesh successfully defended 207 runs as they bundled out West Indies for 133 runs under the light, where Rishad Hossain recorded a six-fer, as he became the first Bangladesh spinner and third Bangladesh bowler to record an ODI six-wicket haul by recording the third best ODI bowling figures for Bangladesh.

After scoring a crucial 26 runs off just 13 balls with one four and two sixes, Rishad brought his bowling magic in the second innings. He became the 13th ODI cricketer and first Bangladesh ODI cricketer to score at least 25 runs and pick up at least six wickets in the same ODI. He broke the 51-run opening partnership for West Indies, as the openers Brandon King (44) and Alick Athanaze (27) were the only batters to manage the 20-run mark in that innings, and the Caribbean batting line-up had only two more double-digit scores. 

Apart from dismissing both openers, Rishad also took the wickets of Keacy Carty (9), Sherfane Rutherford (0), Roston Chase (6), and Jayden Seales (3), as the leg-spinner finished with the bowling figures of 9-0-35-6. He became the fifth spinner to record an ODI six-wicket haul against West Indies. Meanwhile, Mustafizur Rahman got two wickets (2/16), and one wicket each for Tanvir Islam (1/46) and Mehidy Hasan Miraz (1/16).

While Bangladesh defended 207 runs after winning it by 74 runs, it was their fourth-lowest successfully defended total in their ODI history, second-lowest among the ICC Full Members.

Bangladesh innings experienced two 40+ scores  

In Bangladesh's innings, Towhid Hridoy scored 51 off 90 balls, and Mahidul Islam Ankon scored 46 runs off 76 balls. Also, Najmul Hossain Shanto scored 32 runs off 63 balls. 

Among the Caribbean bowlers, Jayden Seales bagged three wickets (3/48), while Roston Chase (2/30) and Justin Greaves (2/32) got two wickets each. 


 

The Pakistan vs Bangladesh Super Fours match in the Asia Cup 2025 at Dubai on Thursday (September 25) is a do-or-die match for both teams, as the winner of the match will advance to the Final of the tournament and will face India on Sunday (September 28). Bangladesh captain Litton Das is missing once again in this important match, and here we are talking about the reason for his absence.

Litton Das injured in practice session

Bangladesh skipper Litton Das missed the previous night's game against India. Last Tuesday (September 23), during the practice session, Litton was injured as he got a blow to his left rib. He needed some medical treatment, and then he watched the training session, but didn't come to bat that night. 

The side-strain issue has forced Litton to miss another crucial Super Fours match for Bangladesh in the Asia Cup 2025, as he is missing the match against Pakistan, which is a must-win fixture for both teams. He was eyeing a return in this game, but sadly failed the fitness test. In his absence, Jaker Ali has continued his leadership role, just like the last night against India. While Bangladesh made four changes against India, including the forced injury replacement of Litton, the Tigers have made three changes in their playing XI for the match against Pakistan. Mahedi Hasan, Taskin Ahmed, and Nurul Hasan have been included in the match against Pakistan.

Once again, Bangladesh will miss the calm, composed leadership and batting of Litton Das. However, the Tigers have a great chance to prove the depth of the team, as a victory will guide them to the Final of the tournament. Before the ongoing T20 Asia Cup, Bangladesh won the T20I series against the hosts Sri Lanka and Pakistan at home.

Asia Cup 2025: Bangladesh fought well

In the group stage of the Asia Cup 2025, Bangladesh beat Afghanistan and Hong Kong but lost against Sri Lanka and finished as the runners-up in Group B. In the Super Fours, Bangladesh first defeated Sri Lanka by four wickets with one ball remaining, but then they lost against unbeaten India by 41 runs last night. As Bangladesh and Pakistan both have two points in the Super Fours, the winner of the match will advance to the Final with four points.
