I'm just doing quick summaries of the first three Youth ODIs - didn't get to pay much attention to them due to illness. In general, though, the boys seem to have done quite well and have been unlucky to go without a win so far. The first ODI saw Zimbabwe's batting collapse in predictable fashion, with 7 scores in single figures. The side were given a fighting chance, though, by the innings of Dean Mazhawidza (77) and Gary Chirimuta (51), who helped the side to 204 before being bowled out in the final over. It wasn't quite enough, though, as Bangladesh chased down the total with 4 overs to spare - Zimbabwe's bowling had a hard time penetrating the Bangladeshi defences, and that eventually cost them. Simon Mugava was the best of the bowlers, taken 2/30 from his 10 overs. Full scorecard below the cut.
Zimbabwe 204 (49.4 overs; Mazhawida 77, Kamrul Islam 3/37), Bangladesh 208/4 (45.5 overs; Mominul Hawue 65*, Mugava 2/30). Bangladesh U19 win by 6 wickets.
