The rain played spoilt sport at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium, as the 1st Youth ODI between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh ended in no result on Tuesday(30).
The visitors won the toss and sent Sri Lanka U19s in to bat in helpful conditions for bowlers with opener Muditha Premadasa falling for 02, before the duo of Navod Paranavithana and Nipun Dananjaya added 73 runs for the second wicket.
Mrittunjoy Chowdhury broke the partnership to reduce Sri Lanka U19s to 83/2 as the Bangladeshis all of a sudden seemed to be all over the hosts with Chowdhury going on to capture 4/46.
Amongst all the chaos, gritty left handed batsman Sonal Dinusha fought a lone battle, to guide Sri Lanka U19s to respectability crossing the 200 run mark. They ended with 207/9 batting out the quota of 50 overs while Sonal Dinusha made an eye catching 59.
