Pacer Al Fahad produced a dazzling display with the ball as Bangladesh restricted India to 238 in their opening U19 World Cup match. He grabbed five wickets for 38 runs in 9.2 overs at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo on Saturday. Fahad made early inroads, striking twice in the third over and troubling India’s top order with disciplined pace and movement. Support came from pacer Iqbal Hossain (2-45) and offspinner Azizul Hakim (2-42), who chipped in, while Sheikh Parvez Jibon (1-46) claimed his maiden U19 World Cup wicket. For India, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi (72) made repairs early before Kundu guided the team in the middle overs.
