Bangladesh recorded a convincing 39–25 win over Nepal in the International Handball Federation (IHF) Cup, continuing their campaign in the men’s Under-18 category. The match was held on Saturday, 13 June, at the Shaheed Captain M. Mansur Ali National Handball Stadium in Paltan. This fixture marked Bangladesh’s second victory in three matches in the ongoing round-robin stage of the tournament.
From the outset, Bangladesh maintained control of the match and established a clear advantage over their opponents. Their attacking play and defensive organisation allowed them to dominate proceedings throughout, ultimately securing a 14-goal margin of victory. The result places Bangladesh in a favourable position ahead of their final group-stage fixture.
A key contribution came from Jebe Dai Bom, who played an important role in the team’s success. He finished as one of the joint top scorers in the match alongside David Bom, with both players registering seven goals each. Their combined efforts were central to Bangladesh’s offensive output in this encounter.
Despite his overall contribution, Jebe Dai Bom did not replicate the same level of scoring efficiency he had demonstrated in the previous match against India, where he had scored 18 goals. Compared to that performance, his output in this match was lower, although he remained among the leading contributors in terms of goals scored.
The match formed part of a three-game schedule in the round-robin league format. With two wins already secured, Bangladesh are set to play their final match against Afghanistan. That fixture is scheduled for Sunday at 1:00 pm and will conclude their group-stage participation in the competition.
