tossed up outside off, lofted well over long off for another maximum, that's huge.And that's the shot to bring up victory for Afghanistan.
NZ U19 vs AFG Under-19, 9th Place Play-off Semi-Final at Cox's Bazar, Feb 09 2016 - Ball by Ball Commentary
AFG Under-19 won by 8 wickets (with 135 balls remaining)
So, Afghanistan have won the match quite comfortably by 8 wickets.Congratulations to them.They
started well with the ball and kept taking wickets on regular intervals.That pegged the Kiwis
back and restricted them for a low total of 135.Afghan spinners were too good for New Zealand
to handle.They didn't let the Kiwis settle down and build partnerships.Their fielding was very good too.
New Zealand haven't been able to overcome their struggle against spin.These young players had no answer against
some quality spin bowling from Afghanistan.Their batsmen haven't been able to provide their bowlers anything to
bowl at.
As a unit, Afghans outplayed the Kiwis in every department, be it batting, bowling or fielding.Kudoz to their
brand of fearless cricket.
We have come to know that Tariq Stanikzai has been awarded Man of The Match for his two wickets with
a very good economy and then an unbeaten fifty with the bat.Well deserved.
So, that's all for today.Thank you all for staying with us till now.We will be back again with live
coverage.Till then, stay safe and stay with cricket.
Cheers!
