Mohammad Mithun struck a run-a-ball 44 before Ariful Haque blazed his way to a 22-ball 47-run knock, hitting three fours and four sixes as the A team managed a strong total. Soumya Sarkar, who opened the innings with Mizanur, fell after a 34-ball 24.

Sri Lanka A fell just two runs short of Bangladesh A’s total, bowled out for 278. Dasun Shanaka hit a run-a-ball 78 and had managed an 84-run fifth wicket partnership with Ashan Priyanjan.

After that partnership was broken by Ariful Haque, Sri Lanka A batsmen struggled to form partnerships even after getting decent starts. Right-arm medium pacer Khaled Ahmed was on the expensive side but bagged four wickets. 17-year-old left-arm medium pace Shoriful Islam bagged three wickets for 54 runs.
