U19 T20 WC: Bangladesh, South Africa and Australia won in the first match

The Under 19 T20 World Cup has started.

New Delhi. Bangladesh, South Africa and Australia registered wins on the rain-affected opening day of the ICC Under-19 Women’s T20 World Cup on Saturday. South Africa made a great start to their campaign by defeating New Zealand in an important match, while Bangladesh defeated Nepal by five wickets in a low-scoring match.

Caoimhe Bray took three wickets for just one run as Australia easily defeated Scotland. Three matches were canceled due to bad weather in Malaysia. Had seven more balls been played in the match between England and Ireland, the result of the match would have been known. The matches between Nigeria and Samoa, which were debuting in the tournament, and America and Pakistan could not start due to bad weather.

Bangladesh achieved the target at the loss of five wickets in 13.2 overs after bowling out Nepal for 52 runs in 18.2 overs in the Group D match. For Nepal, Sana Parveen scored the highest 19 runs in 32 balls while Seeman KC (10) was only the second batsman of the team to score double digit runs. Five batsmen of Nepal were run out. While chasing the target, Bangladesh also lost three wickets for 11 runs but Sadia Islam (16) and captain Sumaiya Akhtar (12) stopped the fall of wickets and took the team closer to the target. South Africa registered a 22-run victory over New Zealand in the rain-affected Group C 11-over match.

Useful contributions from openers Jemimah Botha (32 runs in 24 balls) and Simon Lawrence (21 runs in 14 balls) along with Karabo Maso (25 runs in 14 balls) helped New Zealand win by five wickets after scoring 91 runs for seven wickets. But stopped at 69 runs. Australia easily achieved the target at the loss of one wicket in 6.4 overs after bowling out Scotland for 48 runs in the Group D match with the brilliant bowling of 15-year-old Bray.

England scored a big score of 144 runs for seven wickets against Ireland in the Group B match. The match was canceled due to rain interruption in the fourth over of Ireland’s innings. Before the rain interruption, Ireland had scored 28 runs for two wickets in 3.5 overs. In T20, it is necessary to play five overs in the second innings for the result, hence the result of this match could not be determined due to only seven balls.
