Inspired by an outstanding all-round display from 18-year-old Rizan Hossan, Bangladesh Under-19s clinched the tri-nation title in Harare with a 33-run win over South Africa. Asked to bat first on Sunday, the young Tigers posted 269 for 5 in 50 overs, anchored by a 117-run fourth-wicket partnership between Kalam Siddiki (65) and Rizan (95). South Africa’s chase began strongly with a 59-run opening stand between Adnaan Lagadien (40) and Jorich Van Schalkwyk (19). Rizan (5-34) delivered the decisive blow, claiming a five-wicket haul to bowl the African side out for 236. Rizan’s match-defining performance with bat and ball earned him Player of the Match honours, capping a dominant campaign for Bangladesh.
