The win was highlighted by pacer Iqbal Hossain Emon's outstanding performance, earning him both Player of the Match and Player of the Series honors.

The result means that Bangladesh must win all two of their Super Six matches to qualify for semifinals.

The U-19 World Cup-bound bunch got more than they had wished for.

Bangladesh U-19 successfully defended a rather modest target of 228 runs at the ICC Academy Ground in Dubai.

Courtesy of skipper Ahrar Amin’s unbeaten hundred, the young Tigers chased down a challenging 304-run target with six wickets in hand and four balls to spare.

Bangladesh's youngsters are just one win away from reaching the final of the ICC Under-19 World Cup. To their fans, this very statement tends to bring the jitters.

The Bangladesh under-19s yesterday made history by becoming the first cricket team from the nation to reach the semifinals of an ICC event when they beat Nepal in the ICC Under-19 World Cup quarterfinal. The Young Tigers beat Nepal by six wickets in a game that was more complicated than it looked on paper before the sides took the field in the pressure cauldron of the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium.

Bangladesh's Young Tigers will take on a spirited Namibia at the Sheikh Kamal International Stadium in Cox's Bazar today in the last Group A fixture of the ICC Under-19 World Cup.
