The two eternal rivals started their game with Mohammedan winning the toss and bowling first. They started well as they took the wicket of U19 captain Saif Hassan, who could only make two runs.

After that, however, Anamul Haque Bijoy and Nazmul Hossain Shanto picked up the innings to form a solid partnership. Bijoy, in particular, continued his fine form and scored yet another 50 in the tournament.

He racked up 63 runs before losing his wicket to Taijul Islam. Meanwhile, Mohammad Mithun raced to 47 before getting run out. Nasir, however, kept up the good work done by Bijoy and Mithun as he has reached his 50 from 64 balls.

Bangladesh ODI captain Mashrafe Mortaza is on the other end with 9 runs from 5 balls as Abahani are at 217/6 after 45.1 overs.
