Four-Day Cricket

The play of day two of the second unofficial Test between Bangladesh A and Afghanistan A was called off without a ball being bowled due to persistent rain at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram on Saturday, reports UNB.

Rain halted the play of day one as well.

After electing to bat first, hosts Bangladesh scored 18 for 1 in 7.4 overs before the game was stopped by rain. Mohammad Naim and Raqibul Hasan were unbeaten at 6 and 10 runs respectively.

Captain Imrul Kayes scored 2 runs before falling prey to Yamin Ahmadzai at the 3.4 overs.

Earlier, Bangladesh A suffered a seven-wicket defeat against the touring side on the 4th and final day of the first unofficial Test that concluded on July 8 at the Sheikh Abu Naser Stadium in Khulna.

The hosts will play two four-day games and five one-day matches against Afghanistan.

The first three 50-over matches will be held in Chattogram on July 19, 21 and 24 while the last two are scheduled to be played at BKSP in Savar on July 27 and 29.
