Full commentary

Afghanistan's third ACC tournament win of the year - the seniors, and U-16s others. It's the third time they've won the top ACC U-19 title, and this gets them through to the ICC U19 World Cup again. Bangladesh 2016 is where and when that will be. Fourth time they've gone that far. They have been easily the best team in the tournament, batsmen with strokes all around the wicket with a wicket-taking attack of considerable depth and variety. "Today is the happiest day in Afghanistan cricket's life," says their manager Shir Agha Hamkar who has been with them throughout, "not only have we qualified for the U19 World Cup again, our A Team beat Pakistan A in front of both countries' Prime Ministers in Islamabad. Our future is good and strong." Ihsanullah's Man of the Match today for his classy 89, and it is he who lifts the ACC U-19 Premier League trophy in front of a throng of his team's fans. Thanks for being with us from Kuwait, it's been another fine tournament, Afghanistan, Nepal and UAE the best teams on view.
