What (Study Measures): Weight-for-height and height-for-age scores were calculated to assess malnutrition anemia screening also was done
Who and When: 269 children between the ages of 6 months and 5 years in the Kutupalong refugee camp in October 2017 The populations of two refugee camps and surrounding makeshift settlements have more than doubled and concerns have been raised about the nutritional status of the Rohingya children.
They joined an estimated 200,000 who had fled in earlier waves since the 1990s. Why the Research Is Interesting: Nearly 700,000 ethnic minority Rohingya people crossed the border between Myanmar and Bangladesh after violence escalated in Rakhine State in Myanmar in August 2017. Sri Lanka: Dinesh Chandimal (captain), Suranga Lakmal, Upul Tharanga, Danushka Gunathilaka, Kusal Mendis, Dasun Shanaka, Kusal Janith Perera, Thisara Perera, Jeevan Mendis, Isuru Udana, Akila Dananjaya, Amila Aponso, Nuwan Pradeep, Dushmantha Chameera, Dhananjaya De Silva.īangladesh: Mahmudullah (captain), Tamim Iqbal, Soumya Sarkar, Imrul Kayes, Mushfiqur Rahim, Sabbir Rahman, Mustafizur Rahman, Rubel Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Abu Hider, Abu Jayed, Ariful Haque, Nazmul Islam, Nurul Hasan, Mehidy Hasan, Liton Das.Bottom Line: The pervasiveness of malnutrition and anemia among Rohingya children in a refugee camp in Bangladesh exceeds emergency thresholds. It is also a must-win game for Bangladesh as another loss will make it very difficult for them to make the final on March 18. The pacers bowled alright and Rubel Hossain stood out with two wickets. They will have to come up with a fresh strategy against the Lankans. India chased down 140 easily with Bangladesh spinners not posing any threat to the India by bowling flat more often than not. We’re still searching for it and I think we’ll get it,” said captain Mahmudullah after the six-wicket loss to India yesterday. “I think we are just one win away from getting a boost. They (India) executed their plans very well but we should have found ways to make more runs. “We should have scored a lot more runs, probably 30 more runs. The absence of star player and captain Shakib Al Hasan is bound to hurt them. The batsmen have not been able to rotate the strike enough in the middle overs, stopping them from putting up competitive scores. This result shows how good we are as a team,” Chandimal had said.īangladesh, on the other hand, are under the pump after a string of losses. The management have done a wonderful job at training sessions. “This is all about transferring confidence from the Bangladesh series. The openers, Kusal Mendis and Danushka Gunathilaka, began well but failed to make a substantial contribution, something they will look to change on Saturday.Īfter the India win, captain Dinesh Chandimal said the players are feeling good about their game and also gave credit to coach Chandika Hathurusingha, who was earlier with Bangladesh. On the bowling front, pacer Dushmantha Chameera stood out while the Indians struggled to read the wrong-un of leggie Jeevan Mendis. The way Sri Lanka played against India was even more impressive, comfortably chasing a stiff 175-run target courtesy a Kusal Perera special.
Their recent record against Bangladesh is impressive, having beaten them in the away Test and T20 series besides the final of the tri-series, which also included Zimbabwe. Sri Lanka will be high on confidence going into their second game after they surprised India in the tournament opener. Hosts Sri Lanka will aim to continue their recent domination against a beleaguered Bangladesh when the two teams meet in the Nidahas Twenty20 Trophy in Colombo on Saturday.
