India outclass Bangladesh

July 23, 2007 15:26 IST

India [ Images ] recorded their second straight victory in the Under-19 triangular limited over series in Sri Lanka [ Images ] by outclassing Bangladesh by 97 runs at Colombo's Sara Stadium.

Having comprehensively beaten hosts Lanka in their opening tie, India continued the good work by piling on 226 for 7 after being put in to bat by Bangladesh and then restricting their rivals to 129 for five in a match reduced to 40-overs a side on Sunday.

Skipper Tanmay Srivastava notched his second half century of the tournament by top-scoring for India with 56 off 80 balls, inclusive of four fours.

Srivastava's anchoring effort added muscle to some enterprising knocks by Manish Pandey [ Images ] (47 off 55 balls, inclusive of eight fours) and vice-captain Ravinder Jadeja [ Images ] (43 not out in as many balls, with four fours).

Bangladesh was hardly in the picture when they replied and there was little of note in their innings baring M Hasan's 50-ball 37 not out. Punjab [ Images ] colt Aman Preet Singh grabbed two wickets.

India's next match is against hosts Lanka on July 25.

Brief scores: India under-19 226 for 7 in 40 overs (Manis Pandey 47, Tanmay Srivastava 56, Ravindra Jadeja [ Images ] 43 not out, Pradeep Sangwan 32; R Hussain 2 for 42) beat Bangladesh under-19 129 for 5 in 40 overs (M Hasan 37 not out; Aman Preet Singh 2 for 25).
