Uwase was reported by the match officials during Rwanda’s match against Pakistan on 15 January, with footage captured during their match against Zimbabwe on 17 January and shared with the Event Panel for review.

The assessment was carried out in accordance with clauses 3.5 and 4.7 of the ICC Illegal Bowling Regulations. The Event Panel concluded that Uwase employed an illegal bowling action and, as such, in accordance with the regulations, she is immediately suspended from bowling in international cricket.

Tenacious USA push Bangladesh all the way in Benoni 

Dubai, January 18, 2023 (PPI-OT):Bangladesh survived a mighty scare by a proud United States of America (USA) team, as the Group A frontrunners eventually prevailed to maintain their unbeaten start to the inaugural ICC Under19 Women’s T20 World Cup at willow Moore Park B Field on Wednesday morning.

Handed a target of 104 to win, Bangladesh seemed to be cruising home, on 59 for two after eight overs. But the loss of Shorna Akter, who skied Tanmayi Eyyunni to long-off, and then Dilara Akter soon after, gave the USA hope of an upset before they headed home.

Bangladesh skipper, Disha Biswas looked like she was set on taking her team home, but she was undone by a beautiful piece of bowling by Aditiba Chudasama. The off-spinner got one to grip, turn sharply and get through the gate, startling Biswas and sending another shiver down Bangladesh’s spine.

It was left to Rabeya (18 not out from 24 balls) and Misty Shaya (14 not out from 13 balls) to nervously guide their side beyond 100 and finally, to victory. They won with 15 balls to spare, but they knew they had been in a proper scrap.

Earlier, USA had put up 104 for four after winning the toss and taking first strike. Snighda Paul contributed a steady 26 off 37 balls, and there was also assistance from Disha Dhingra (20 from 39 balls) and Isani Vaghela, who made a run-a-ball 17 not out.

Biswas claimed two for 13 with the ball, as Bangladesh kept the scoring under six to the over. With pitches slowing down and taking more spin, variation in bowling departments will be a crucial factor in determining who will walk away with the first-ever U19 Women’s T20 World Cup crown.

This match marked the end of the tournament road for USA, but they depart with their heads held high after pushing one of the tournament favourites all the way.

Bangladesh now move onto the next stage, as Group a winners.

Scores in brief:

USA, who chose to bat?

USA 104 for four in 20 overs (Snighda Paul 26, Disha Dhingra 20, Isani Vaghela 17 not out, Disha Biswas two for 13)

Bangladesh 104 for five in 17.3 overs (Shorna Akter 22, Rabeya 18 not out, Dilara Akter 17, Aditiba Chudasama two for 15)

Bangladesh won by five wickets, with 15 balls to spare.

Australia picks up World Cup momentum with big win over Sri Lanka

Dubai, January 18, 2023 (PPI-OT):Australia won the battle to finish second in Group A of the inaugural ICC Under19 Women’s T20 World Cup with a comprehensive, 108-run win over Sri Lanka in Benoni, east of Johannesburg.

The win came courtesy of a hustling performance with the bat and a clinical effort with the ball which saw them wrap up the match with 42 balls to spare.

Chasing 160 to win after Australia posted 159/5, Sri Lanka lost their first wicket for three and never recovered from the slide to be bowled out for 51.

Ella Hayward, Sianna Ginger and Lucy Hamilton – whose match figures of 36 and 1/7, 30 and 1/2, and 22 and 2/0 respectively – all put in all-round performances in a team effort by the Aussies, with Hayward walking away with the player of the match award for a lively innings.

Sri Lanka’s decision to put Australia in to bat on a flat Willow Moore Park pitch veered from a good one to uninspired depending on whether runs were being scored or wickets were being taken.

Given that they target a score of around 40 runs in the power play, they were ahead of it when Kate Pelle was caught for 27 (four boundaries) at midwicket with the score on 41, a period which would usher a semblance of control for the Sri Lankan bowling attack.

Having induced the false stroke that got rid of Pelle, off-spinner Rismi Sanjana – playing her first match of the tournament – kept things tight in tandem with fellow spinner Vidushika Perera and had Claire Moore stumped for a second wicket that would lead to overall figures of 2/30.

With the boundaries drying up, the Aussies resorted to intense running between the wickets, with the 11th over yielding 10 lung-busting runs between Ginger and Ella Hayward. That said, the Sri Lankans aided and abetted this with misfielding which produced dropped catches and missed opportunities.

With opener, Ginger, having dropped anchor for her 30 (31 balls, three fours), Amy Smith and Lucy Hamilton – who both scored brisk 22s – were on hand to give the innings the impetus to the eight runs an over chasing mark most teams have found difficult to reach in the tournament.

Hamilton, who fell to a controversial run-out after getting in a tangle with bowler Rashmi Nethranjali, was particularly belligerent, getting her runs from just 11 balls and hitting Australia’s only six of the innings in a Perera over in which she smashed 18 runs.

Scores in brief:

Toss: Sri Lanka, who elected to bowl.

Australia – 159 for 5 in 20 overs (Ella Hayward 36, Sianna Ginger 30, Rismi Sanjana two for 30, Dewmi Vihanga Wijerathne one for 21)

Sri Lanka – 51 all out in 13 overs (Nethmi Senarathna 11, Wijerathne 9, Lucy Hamilton two for none, Maggie Clark two for 8)

Australia won by 108 runs after 13 overs.
