Full commentary
(United Kingdom) Aritra Dutta: "Afghanistan are the Pakistan of the tournament. Never make lives easy for themselves, but always give themselves a chance of winning." Could say the same about Kuwait too!
Afghanistan's match from the 10th over of the Kuwait innings, Man of the Match Sami Shenwari's 3-18 helping to peg them back from 81 for 3 to have them all out for 133 and then just knocked the ball around to get close to the target as Kuwait kept plugging away, before they decided to unleash the big shots. So it's Afghanistan and Nepal who are now through to the ACC Twenty20 Cup semi-finals on Tuesday. We look forward to welcoming you back then.
