\nThe visiting Sri Lankan Under-19 team earlier declared their second innings at 207-8, with an
\noverall lead of 232 runs and just about enough time to have a go at their opponents but Sadman Islam (34 not out) and first-innings centurion Mehedy Hasan (28) safely negotiated the overs to avoid any minor jitters for the hosts, however little.
\nAK Tyronne scalped
\ntwo of the three wickets to fall on the last day
\nwhich took his match figures to 9-171, earning him the player-of-the-match award.
\nBangladesh leg-spinner Jubair Hossain did not fare any bad either as he dismissed three opposition batsmen in the second innings to take his match-haul to 8-202.
\nFor the visitors, captain Kusal Mendis scored 52 before declaring their innings with two wickets remaining.
\nThe second and final four-day match will start in two days\u2019 time at the Sylhet Divisional Stadium.<\/p>\n
