Live AFG Under-19 vs NEP Under-19 Match: Afghanistan skipper Naseer Khan Maroofkhil won the toss and elected to bat first against Nepal in the Under-19 World Cup match on Friday at Buffalo Park, East London.
In their previous match, Afghanistan put up a solid fight against New Zeland and lost the match by just 1 wicket.
With a meagre target to defend, Afghanistan threw their trump card, Allah Mohammad Ghazanfar, the new ball, and the ploy worked.
The mystery spinner, often likened to Mujeeb Ur Rahman, was touted as a superstar right from age group cricket and showed exactly why on Tuesday.
He sent back three of the top four batters for ducks to reduce New Zealand to 23/3. With the centurion from the last game, Snehith Reddy, absent, New Zealand’s top-order struggled to combat Ghazanfar.
Khalil Ahmed joined in on the act with a couple of quick wickets as New Zealand crumbled to 42/5.
Despite the tense atmosphere, Rowe was all calm. He calmly hit the winning runs off the very next ball to script a thrilling win for New Zealand.
Reacting to the non-striker’s end run out, Naseer Khan told ICC Digital: “Yeah it is in the rules and that’s why I did it.”
