The hosts\u2019 top scorer was captain Thomas Rew, brother of England Test prospect James. He reached his half-century off 47 balls with a cut shot off left-arm spinner Samiun Basir Ratul. Off the penultimate ball of the 44th over, he struck a huge six off seam-bowling all-rounder Rizan Hossan to reach 92.<\/p>\n<p>Going into the last over, Rew had the chance to reach his second century in Youth ODI cricket, but he faced just one delivery to finish with an 86-ball 93, hitting seven fours and four sixes overall. Rew stitched an 89-run fifth-wicket stand with Ralphie Albert, who struck a 37-ball half-century to provide late impetus to the England innings. Albert was dismissed off the first ball of the penultimate over for a 43-ball 52, hitting five fours and two sixes. Rew also added 71 runs together with England No.5 Jack Nelson (28). <\/p>\n<p>The two teams entered the match with the series scoreline tied at 1-1, and that remains the same after further rain meant Bangladesh&#8217;s chase could not get underway at all. The fifth and final Youth ODI will be played on September 14. <\/p>\n<p>After averaging 7.40 in his first seven Youth ODIs without a fifty, Rew turned things around in his next eight matches, averaging 101.75 at a strike rate of 123.33. Earlier in June, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wisden.com\/cricket-news\/brother-of-england-test-prospect-thomas-rew-smashes-record-ton-in-thrilling-chase-v-india-u19\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">he scored 131 against India U19, his maiden Youth ODI century<\/a>. Two days later, he followed it up with a 76 not out against the same opposition. Rew has also represented England in four U19 Tests so far, scoring 280 runs at 40, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wisden.com\/cricket-news\/brother-england-test-contender-thomas-rew-continues-sublime-form-second-consecutive-youth-test-50-v-india-u19\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">three fifties<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Rew has also already debuted in senior domestic cricket. His first three List A innings read 44, 51, and 84 not out; the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wisden.com\/series\/one-day-cup-2025\/cricket-news\/england-test-prospect-james-rew-17-year-old-brother-thomas-rew-smash-hundred-fifty-ace-one-day-cup-run-chase\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">last two of which came for Somerset in the 2025 One-Day Cup<\/a>. So far, he has scored 352 runs in the format at an average of 44.00 and a strike rate of 94.62. However, he is yet to make his mark in T20 cricket, averaging 18 with a strike rate of 94.73 from three matches, all in this year&#8217;s T20 Blast.<\/p>\n<p>Follow Wisden for all cricket updates, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wisden.com\/live-cricket-scores\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-stringify-link=\"https:\/\/www.wisden.com\/live-cricket-scores\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\" class=\"c-link c-link--underline\">live scores<\/a>, match stats, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wisden.com\/quizzes\/daily-quiz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-stringify-link=\"https:\/\/www.wisden.com\/quizzes\/daily-quiz\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-14407\" class=\"c-link c-link--underline\">quizzes<\/a> and more.
