Full commentary
"We should have won by seven wickets," says Pakistan's coach Mansoor Rana but it's been another ripper of a match here at the ACC Emerging Teams Cup, Pakistan U-23 just pipping Afghanistan. A game of bowlers, Pakistan's first Bhatti and Adil with the new ball, then Raza Hasan in particular with his left-arm spin. Four stumpings by Rizwan of quality. Hashmatullah Shaidi on debut made a battling 52*, though Afghanistan in the end only had 142 to defend. But defend it how they did! Nabi and Hamid led from the front, with four wickets for 44, ably backed up by the rest of their team who all chipped in. Pakistan squeezed home, just.
ACC Match Referee Aminul Islam chooses Pakistan's Umar Waheed as Man of the Match.

almost run-out twice! Firm drive, deflected off the bowler's right-hand just wide of the stumps and then mid-on can't gather cleanly with the retreating batsman struggling
