Skipper Priyam Garg slammed a 97-ball century before the bowlers took centre stage to guide India U-19 to a 35-run win over Bangladesh U-19, its second consecutive in the Under-19 Youth ODI tri-series here.

Garg remained unbeaten on exactly 100, a knock that was studded with seven boundaries and four hits over the fence, taking India U-19 to 265 for five after opting to bat on Wednesday night.

Besides Garg, left-handed opener Yashasvi Jaiswal made 63 off 90 balls up the order. Jaiswal struck six fours and one six during his knock.

Tilak Varma (23) and Pragnesh Kanpillewar (23) got starts but couldn’t prolong their stay, while wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel (34) also chipped in with useful runs towards the end.

Ably supported by left-arm spinner Shubhang Hegde (three for 59) and right-arm medium-pacer Kartik Tyagi (four for 16) then led India’s bowling attack to bundle out Bangladesh U-19 for 229 in 47.1 overs.

Captain Akbar Ali (56), Shamim Hossain (46) and opener Tanzid Hasan (44) were the main run getters for Bangladesh U-19.

India U-19 had defeated host England U-19 by five wickets in the tri-series opener last Sunday.

India U-19 will again meet Bangladesh U-19 in its next match in Cheltenham on Saturday.

The scores :

India U-19 264 for five in 50 overs (Priyam Garg 100 n.o., Yashasvi Jaiswal 63 bt Bangaldesh U-19: 229 in 47.1 overs (Akbar Ali 56, Shamim Hossain 46; Kartik Tyagi four for 16, Shubhang Hegde three for 59) .
