Skipper Qasim Akram came up with one of the best individual performances in the ICC U-19 Men's Cricket World Cup 2022 so far to help two-time champions score a crushing 238-run win against Sri Lanka in the fifth-place playoff at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium here on Friday (IST).

The 19-year-old Akram smashed a brilliant unbeaten 80-ball 135 to help his side register an imposing 365/3, with opener Haseebullah Khan also scoring 136. Akram, who bowls off-spin, then returned to wipe out the entire Sri Lankan top order to finish with figures of 5/37 off 10 overs to notch a massive win.
