DHAKA, Aug 4, 2018 (BSS)- A brilliant 92 runs by Zakir Hasan enabled
Bangladesh A to record a thumping 87 runs victory over Ireland A in the first
ODI at Wicklow, Dublin in the early hours of today.
Earlier, Bangladesh asked to bat first, piled up impressive 289 for 6 in
their allotted 50 overs. Thanks to brilliant Zakir Hasan’s dazzling 92 runs
off 92-ball studded with eight glorious boundaries and three eye catching
sixers enabled Bangladesh A to post a challenging total.
Zakir along with Saif Hassan (37) put on impressive 139 runs for the first
wicket partnership. Fazle Rabbi with a quick fire 53, Al Amin with 47 runs
and skipper Mominul Haque with 23 were the other notable Bangladesh A

found runs hard to come by as they struggled to be bowled out for 202 runs in
46.3 overs.
