full and pushed to the offside and Afghanistan have won this match and the ACC Premier League, a solid tournament from them, lost to Malaysia along the way but with their team of old and new, won their two ODIs against Hong Kong and UAE and now have beaten Nepal in a game that turned out to be the decider on the last day of the competition. Man of the Match Dawlat did it for them with the ball in the afternoon after their batsmen posted a solid 262.

They celebrate in front of us here at the Kinrara Oval and remain the top ACC Associate, the start of a nine-month road for them on the way to World Cup 2015, where even tougher challenges no doubt await them and UAE. Thank you for being with us throughout the event.
