All-round Springer takes West Indies U19 to final

Hetmyer was finally dismissed in the 28th over when he was caught by smartly by Saif Hassan against the run of play for a classy 60. Three overs later, Saifuddin dropped Springer, with West Indies needing 70 runs, and Bangladesh could never recover after that even if Shawon, the left-arm spinner, struck twice in the first over of his third spell in the 38th over.

The score was 181 for 6 at that point, but the seventh-wicket partnership of 36 between Springer and Michael Frew took West Indies to the doorstep of a memorable win. Fittingly, Springer ended the game with the winning hit off Saifuddin.

Bangladesh may have fallen just short of creating history, but its brand of play has gone a long way in making the 11th edition of the competition an entertaining affair.
