Match details

British Universities v Bangladesh A (18 July)

British Universities beat Bangladesh A by two wickets

In a twelve-a-side match at The Parks, Oxford, a strong Bangladesh A side including nine internationals went down to a combined universities side, admittedly including two current county professionals. Bangladesh A batted first, and made 249 for 6, Nafees Iqbal top-scoring with 109, but young prodigy Mushfiqur Rahim also made 50. Bangladesh A proceeded to gift away 35 extras - including 21 in wides - which probably cost them the match, as the Universities passed their score with ten balls remaining. Talha Jubair and Abdur Razzak showed promising things with the ball, though, taking four for 50 and two for 37 respectively. [1]

Bangladesh A shocked Gloucestershire initially at Bristol, Shahadat Hossain taking the most wickets with three as Gloucestershire imploded to 72 for 7. However, 83 from wicketkeeper Stephen Snell lifted them to 232, before Jon Lewis and James Averis dug into the tourists to reduce them to 29 for 3. However, Tushar Imran played his way to his fourth first-class century, a career-best 119, to give the tourists a slender lead of 19. However, Gloucestershire were determined to prove their class the second time around, and after losing Kadeer Ali for 1 initially they were in control, batting their way to 330 for 5 before declaring as Alex Gidman could get a 94 ball century. Sri Lankan overseas player Malinga Bandara then took five for 45 with his leg-spin as the tourists imploded from 106 for 2 to 181 all out.

Match drawn

After a first day where Glamorgan had racked up 380 runs, Michael Powell top-scoring with 111 and Alex Wharf also making 77, while Syed Rasel took four for 89 amid no-balls, the Bangladeshi tourists were sent in to bat. Only 10.1 overs of play was possible, though, and Andrew Davies took two wickets while Alex Wharf was taken for 36 runs off just five overs. Day three was rained out, so the match at Abergavenny ended in a tame draw.

Lancashire v Bangladesh A (1 August)

Bangladesh A won by seven wickets

Lancashire put out a second-string side against Bangladesh A, admittedly including former ODI bowler Sajid Mahmood, and were duly punished by the tourists, who cruised to a seven-wicket victory. Having won the toss, the Bangladeshis chose to have a bowl, and after Andrew Crook and Ian Sutcliffe had put on 35 for the first wicket, Shahadat Hossain dug out two quick wickets. Lancashire recovered somewhat, and then rain stopped play for nearly two hours. When the players returned, Abdur Razzak ran through the middle order, taking three for 25, and Lancashire collapsed to 149. In reply, the tourists scored slowly, before Tushar Imran came to the crease. The number three took an hour and a half to forge 93 runs, his sixth one-day fifty, as he guided Bangladesh A to a total of 155 for 3 with more than 15 overs remaining in the match.
