KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia -- Afghanistan's national under-19 cricket team is headed to the finals of the Youth Asia Cup in Malaysia after beating Nepal Friday (November 17), according to the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) website.
The Afghan team defeated Nepal by seven wickets and will square off against Pakistan Sunday (November 19) in the finals.
The team won its first match against Pakistan during the tournament November 8.
This is the first time Afghanistan has reached the finals of the ACC (Asian Cricket Council) Under-19 Asia Cup.
Once I lived in Pakistan. As we didn't have a cricket team, we used to watch the games of other countries and we were very happy to see Pakistan wins. It is a good development that now our country has a strong cricket team. They can compete with strong teams of other countries and win for our country. When the game starts, by singing our national anthem, our eyes are filled with tears because of so much happiness. Seeing the tri-color flag gives us hope that our country will be prosperous again, if Allah is willing. I enjoy seeing our tri-color flag in other countries and hearing our national anthem in other countries. In Afghanistan, the only thing that brings happiness to the sad faces of the Afghan people is the victory of the Afghanistan national cricket team, which makes Afghans happy with their victory. Long live Afghanistan national cricket team.
