Full commentary

On a good batting wicket, UAE were outplayed from the start after choosing to bat, left-arm spinner Zia ur Rehman bowling brilliantly. UAE bundled out for 57 and then it was always going to be Afghanistan's match. Both now move on to the ICC U19 World Cup next year, Afghanistan as the Asia Region winners and UAE as the hosts.

We're waiting for the presentations and will be back with some post-match comments.

Hashmatullah Shaidi's Man of the Match

"So happy to win," says Nasir Jamal Ahmadzai, Afghanistan's captain, "the boys have worked very hard to win this ACC U-19 and we are hoping insha'Allah to do well in the U19 World Cup."

Most Promising Player: Pavandeep Singh (Malaysia); Best Bowler: Avinash Karn (Nepal); Best Batsman: Hashmatullah Shaidi (Afghanistan) , Player of the Tournament: Dan D'Souza (UAE)

And the Afghans are dancing at Kinrara!
