However these runs were not enough as Bangladesh A won this match by 5 wickets, they made these runs in the 19th over losing only 5 wickets. It was the combined batting effort from Parvez Hossain Emon, Towhid Hridoy and also their captain Akbar Ali made 45 runs and together were a better team than Hong Kong. A good start for Bangladesh A in this Emerging Asia Cup.
Afghanistan and Bangladesh A won their respective matches yesterday. Both matches were close, where Bangladesh won by 5 wickets against Hong Kong and Afghanistan A beating Sri Lanka A by 11 runs. It was a one man show by Sediqullah Atal in the Afghanistan team who made 83 runs otherwise I don't think the Afghanistan A team batted well.
Today we have the Group B matches in this emerging Asia Cup. Oman will take on United Arab Emirates while Pakistan Shaheens will play with India A in the 2nd match today at Al Amarat. I think this match is going to create the hype for this ACC.
