Fabulous first day at the U19 World Cup

Group A Games

Australia v Bangladesh
A stunning win for Bangladesh as they chased down Australia's 130/5 with some ease. The Aussies looked short of runs coming in to the last two overs, but managed to hit 28 from the last 12 balls to reach a par score.
After losing a wicket to the first ball of their reply, Bangladesh batted with confidence as seven Aussie bowlers struggled to contain them. They look like a side in good form and full of confidence. 

Australia - 130/5 (Moore 52(51), Hayward 35 (39) - Biswas 2/25, Marufa Akter 2/29)

Bangladesh - 132/3 (18 overs) (Dilara Akter 40(42), Sumaiya Akter 31(25) - Ainsworth 2/9)

Sri Lanka v USA 
A tight finish in a low-scoring game, but Sri Lanka held their nerve to get over the line in the 19th over, finishing the game with a 6. Good effort from USA to contain the Sri Lankans after failing to put enough runs on the board.

USA - 96/9 (Singh 22 - Wijerathne 3/11, Perera 2/15)
Sri Lanka 100/3 (19 overs) (Gunarathne 34*, Nanayakkara 32* - Bhadriraju 2/17)

Group D Games

UAE v Scotland 

Scotland never really got any momentum into their batting innings and ended on 99/9. Two wickets in the 9th over of the UAE reply could have knocked them off track, but Gaur held firm to bring her side home in the 17th over.

Scotland 99/9 (Walsingham 37 (33) - Mahesh 2/19, Nandakumar 2/20, Dharnidhaka 2/22)

UAE 100/4 (16.2 overs) (Gaur 33* - Maceira 2/7)

South Africa v India
South Africa got away to an unbelievable start with 20 off the first over of their innings and were 64/2 at the end of the powerplay. They finally posted 166/5, which looked a very decent total. But India ended their own powerplay on 70/0 with Shafali Verma hitting 24 off the 6th over and they never really looked back. They got over the line with just three wickets down and 21 balls to spare, and Shweta Sehrawat a magnificent 92*. 

South Africa 166/5 (Lourens 61 - Verma 2/31)
India 170/3 (17.3 overs) (Sehrawat 92*, Verma 45)
