Bangladesh Under-19 cricketers defeated Zimbabwe by 91 runs during their tri-nation tournament match at Harare Sports Club on Monday. Zimbabwe captain elected to bowl first after winning the coin toss. The visitors posted 274 runs for eight wickets across 50 overs through solid batting performances. Zawad Abrar top-scored with 82 runs from 63 deliveries, while Md Abdullah contributed 56 runs. Captain Azizul Hakim added 34 runs, and Rifat Beg managed 31 runs for the touring side.
