Bangladesh face Scotland Sunday

Host Bangladesh will face visiting Scotland in forthcoming matches of the ICC Under-19 World Cup cricket championship on Sunday. Junior tigers of Bangladesh will take on Scotland in their second Group ‘A’ match in Cox`s Bazar. U-19 national team`s opener Pinak Ghosh on Friday expressed his regrets over his untimely dismissal against South Africa in the first match of the U-19 World Cup. Having played some spectacular shots off the Proteas pacers, the 17-year old ran himself out for 43 against the Proteas at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium on Wednesday. Bangladesh colts cracked 19 boundaries and six sixes on their way to posting 240 for 7 on Wednesday. But they failed to rotate strikes regularly that prevented them from scoring a bigger total. Both Joyraz Sheikh and Pinak were unable to rotate the strikes frequently.
