Left-arm spinner Saleh Ahmed ran through the innings with a spell of four for 24 while off-spinners Saeed Sarkar (2-9) and Sanjit Saha (2-14) picked up two wickets apiece.

In reply, Nazmul Hossain stroked 41 not out and Saif Hassan, an unbeaten 39, as Bangladesh Under-19s cruised to their target in the 21st over.
