The Bangladesh Cricket Board's High Performance (HP) Squad took a 2-0 lead in the five-match one-day series against the visiting England Under-19 team with a four-wicket win at the Shaheed Chandu Stadium in Bogra yesterday.
Number four batsman Mazharuddin smashed an unbeaten half-century as the home side reached 195-6 with seven overs to spare.
Mazhar, who came to the wicket with the score on 54-2 in reply to England U-19s 194 in 47.4 overs, carved 65 off 84 balls featuring seven fours and one six. Opener Golam Rahman's 26 was the second highest scorer for the local boys while Raqibul Hassan (17), Sirajullah Khadem (22), Farhad Reza (15), Nazimuddin (14) and skipper Mahmudullah Riyad (15 not out) were other notable contributors.
Andrew Miller was the pick of the English attack with 3-21 from seven overs. Aaron Shingler, Richard Jones and Moeen Ali took one wicket apiece.
England, vanquished by 28 runs in the first match, elected to bat but apart from Karl Brown, who hit a strokeful 89 off 105 balls, only three batsmen (Ben Wright (23), Hamilton Brown (12) and Chris Thompson (26) -- reached double figures.
Brown was eventually dismissed by HP's most successful bowler Rezaul Islam, who captured 3-20 from very tight ten overs. Sirajullah, Shirhan Sharif and Sajidul Islam took one wicket each.
The two teams will meet at the BKSP, Savar in the third match on November 21
