Full commentary
Afghanistan pull it out of the fire! These two teams always find a way to win close matches, one of them had to lose, it's like Djokovic v Nadal, only good performances are good enough! Nepal had it won, maybe inexperience cost them, certainly some great death bowling by Hamid did too. A game played in trying conditions by both sides, batting was never easy with so much moisture in the air and then bad light and rain but it was an awesome game irrespective of all that and Paras Khadka and Hamid Hassan carried the flag for their nations with immense distinction.
Lots of candidates for Man of the Match but we're all in agreement, Paras Khadka had the biggest impact on the match.
Thanks for being with us, we're back tomorrow with two more matches in the Asian Cricket Council Emerging Teams Cup, including India U-23 v Pakistan U-23.
