Al Amerat (Oman): Afghanistan A clinched the title of the Emerging Asia Cup on October 27 in Al Amerat. The team dished out an impressive bowling performance in a low-scoring final against Sri Lanka A. Earlier, the team secured a triumph over India A in the semi-final fixture. Bilal Sami and Allah Ghanzanifar starred in the final with their impressive spells.
Sri Lanka A won the toss and chose to bat first. However, the batting side were unable to handle the heat from the opposition bowlers and kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Sahan Arachchige was the lone warrior in an innings which witnessed only three double-digit scores with a knock of unbeaten 64 runs. Sami (3/22) and Ghazanfar (2/14) bowled in tight areas to restrict the Lankan side to 133/7.
