Afghanistan Under-19 needed just 26.4 overs to thump Malaysia Under-19 by 10 wickets in Abu Dhabi. Malaysia, who were bundled out for 50 and 32 in their previous two games, did not fare any better on Tuesday and put in to bat, they lost wickets right from the off.
Medium-pacer Sayed Shirzad spearheaded an incisive bowling performance from Afghanistan, and removed Ahmad Tajudin Ismail and Harvindran Rajendran in the first over of the match. Malaysia's captain Muhammad Ramli and Virandeep Singh batted out the next 10 overs without losing a wicket, but the team added only 13 runs during that period. Ramli was the team's top-scorer with 12, while their other 10 batsmen collectively contributed just 22 runs between them. Shirzad finished with 4 for 10, and Abdullah Adil picked up three scalps to bowl Malaysia out for 40 in 23.2 overs.
Afghanistan's openers Shahidullah and Ihsanullah completed the paltry chase in just 20 balls, hitting five fours and a six between them.
