Noor Ahmad to Chamindu Wickramasinghe, OUT! RUN OUT! Afghanistan Under-19 very much in charge right now and they are all pumped up. Chamindu Wickramasinghe has been there right from the start and was involved in a run out as well but this time becomes the victim himself. Credit to Afghanistan Under-19 players for putting such a show. They have not given up and showed tremendous character. What a fightback from the youngsters. They are celebrating like they have won the ticket to semi final. Not yet, but are inching closer. Coming to the ball, it was quick and outside off. Chamindu Wickramasinghe works it to mid off for a quick single. He didn't run in straight line and Suliman Safi quickly picked up the ball and scored a direct hit at the bowler's end in one motion. The umpires take it upstairs and the replay suggests that Chamindu Wickramasinghe was caught short by a few centimetres. He has to continue his walk back to the pavilion. Sri Lanka Under-19 lose their sixth wicket.

Naveed Zadran to Vinuja Ranpul, OUT! RUN OUT! What a game of cricket! Jubilation for Afghanistan Under-19. Tragedy for Sri Lanka Under-19. Afghanistan players are running all around the park. They cannot believe it. Naveed Zadran has got emotional and is on the ground. Sri Lanka Under-19 only have themselves to blame. 134 to defend and Afghanistan Under-19 showed 'never give up' attitude and now will enter the semis. They never stopped believing in themselves, always maintained the pressure and have got the desired result. Coming to the ball, it was a back-of-a-length ball, around off. Vinuja Ranpul stands up on his toes and dabs this towards backward point. There was never a run there but Traveen Mathews starts running and is halfway down the pitch. Nangeyalia Kharote underarms the ball to the bowler. He runs back and then underarms it to the stumps of his end and Traveen Mathews is caught well short of the crease. AFGHANISTAN UNDER-19 WIN BY 4 RUNS!
