Sri Lanka beat Bangladesh U19 Women`s team 

Bangladesh U19 Women's team have become the runners up in the Women's U19 Tri Nation T20 series as Sri Lanka beat them on Friday.

The Bangladesh team suffered a heartbreaking 36-run defeat to Sri Lanka at Sheikh Kamal International Cricket Stadium in Cox's Bazar.

After opting to bat first, they posted a respectable 148-3 with opener Nethmi Poorna Senarathna leading the charge. 

Bangladesh in reply tasted a top order collapse and slumped to 23-4, which decided the fate of the match. Rabeya then made team-high 31 off 29 with four fours and helped the side at least go past 100-run mark. Bangladesh eventually were restricted to 112-8. Arbin Tani was the other notable scorer with 15.

The double-leg tournament, involving three teams -Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Pakistan, saw each team facing each other twice and the hosts Bangladesh beat both of the opponents in the group phase to make the final as the unbeaten team.

Sri Lanka meanwhile won just one game against Pakistan and their other game against the same team was washed out due to rain.
