Leg spinner Noor Hossain’s four-wicket haul gave Bangladesh U-23 a winning start to their ACC Emerging Teams Cup campaign after they beat hosts Singapore by eight wickets at Kallang ground yesterday.
The hosts were bundled out for a paltry 121 runs after opting to bat first. Left-arm spinner Taijul Islam pinned de Lange in front of the stumps to get the first break through in the 7th over after which they never looked back. Noor joined the party and wrecked through the opposition batting as the leggy ended up claiming four wickets for just 25 runs.
Bangladesh lost Rony Talukdar (6) early, but Soumya Sarkar and Mithun Ali maintained their dominance with a superb second wicket partnership of 95 runs.
Mithun was out on 43, but Soumya held his nerve to remain not out on 65 and carry Bangladesh to 122-2 in 26.4 overs.
