Afghanistan pull off a notable victory against an India U-23 side packed with IPL and Ranji Trophy players. A Pyrrhic victory of sorts though, India U-23 scored enough runs in defeat to claim that second place in Group A above Afghanistan. Those four byes off the last ball made a difference! India just pip Pakistan to top the table. Afghanistan's consolation is that they outplayed India U-23 and gave Pakistan U-23 an almighty scare too. On such fine margins is the game played, and the margin between the leading Associates and the Test-playing countries is reducing by what he have seen so far in the Asian Cricket Council Emerging Teams Cup.

Samiullah Shenwari of Afghanistan is given Man of the Match by ACC Match Referee Aminul Islam, for his innings-building 43* at the end of the Afghan innings though Mirwais Ashraf ran him mighty close in the reckoning too. Thanks for being us, tomorrow's semi-finals are India U-23 v UAE and Pakistan U-23 v Sri Lanka U-23.
