Sri Lanka U-19 keep losing

Sri Lanka lost to Bangladesh in their third place play-off match of the Under-19 Youth World Cup in Fatulla yesterday.

The result meant Sri Lanka's under-19 cricketers continued with their downward slide which has been going on for the past so many years with no formula in sight as administrators turn a blind eye to the future.Sri Lanka were bowled out for 214 with skipper Charith Asalanka playing a part with a contribution of 76.

Bangladesh always had the match in control although they posted the win in the final over.
