\"TLTristan <\/span><\/span>Luus<\/span><\/span> claimed four wickets to help set South Africa Under-19s<\/span><\/span> (SA U19s)<\/span><\/span> up for what proved to be a comfortable four-wicket win over Bangladesh U19<\/span><\/span>s<\/span><\/span> on the DLS Method in match three of their five-game one-day series in <\/span><\/span>Khulna<\/span><\/span> on <\/span><\/span>Tues<\/span><\/span>day.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There were also half<\/span><\/span>–<\/span><\/span>centuries by <\/span><\/span>Thebe <\/span><\/span>Gazide<\/span><\/span> and <\/span><\/span>Lhuan-dre<\/span><\/span> Pretorius<\/span><\/span> \u2013 the pair sharing in an impressive 125-run opening partnership <\/span><\/span>\u2013<\/span><\/span> as the tourists reached their 241-victory target with five balls to spare.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The result put <\/span><\/span>Malibongwe<\/span><\/span> Maketa\u2019s charges 2-1 up in the series after they also won a rain-affected match one via the DLS Method in a much-tighter 10-run triumph last Friday, before slipping to a 14-run loss on Sunday. The series now shifts to <\/span><\/span>Rajshahi<\/span><\/span> for game four this Friday.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And the South Africans will be pleased to be ahead in what is turning out to be a closely fought contest, which is being used by both teams as preparation for the <\/span><\/span>2<\/span><\/span>024 ICC U19 Men\u2019s World Cup<\/span><\/span> in Sri Lanka.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The home side won the toss at the start and opted to bat first, but they found themselves in early trouble thanks to the first breakthrough from Player of the Match <\/span><\/span>Luus<\/span><\/span>, who took four for 60, as well a<\/span><\/span>s s<\/span><\/span>trike<\/span><\/span>s<\/span><\/span> by <\/span><\/span>Sipho <\/span><\/span>Potsane<\/span><\/span> (2\/38)<\/span><\/span>, <\/span><\/span>Oliver Whitehead (1\/5) and <\/span><\/span>Romashan<\/span><\/span> Pillay (1\/42)<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It left the score on 70 for four inside the opening 15 overs. But the Tigers then fought back through <\/span><\/span>Chowdhury Rizwan<\/span><\/span> (77 off 98 balls, 2 fours, 4 sixes) and <\/span><\/span>Shihab James<\/span><\/span> (29). <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The two added 45 together, while there was also a key contribution by number eight <\/span><\/span>Mahfuzur<\/span><\/span> Rabby<\/span><\/span> (74 off 66 balls, 3 fours, 4 sixes). <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The latter put on the highest partnership of the innings worth 76 with <\/span><\/span>Rafi<\/span><\/span>u<\/span><\/span>zzaman<\/span><\/span> Rafi <\/span><\/span>(23) that eventually propelled Bangladesh to 241 for nine.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Debutant <\/span><\/span>Gazide<\/span><\/span> (53 off 58 balls, 7 fours, 1 six) <\/span><\/span>and <\/span><\/span>Pretorius<\/span><\/span>(66 off 79 balls, 5 fours, 3 sixes) <\/span><\/span>were commanding in their reply scoring <\/span><\/span>at more than six runs to the over during their partnership that finally broke in the 21<\/span><\/span>st<\/span><\/span> over.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

David <\/span><\/span>Teeger<\/span><\/span> (30)<\/span><\/span>, <\/span><\/span>captain Juan James (34)<\/span><\/span> and <\/span><\/span>Richard <\/span><\/span>Seletswane<\/span><\/span> (18) then did the bulk of the scoring to help close in on the target, with Pillay <\/span><\/span>(13) <\/span><\/span>and Whitehead <\/span><\/span>(11*) <\/span><\/span>carrying the visitors to their target at the start of the final over.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
