So with this mouth-watering clash, it is England Under-19 who go through and they will wait just like us to see who will meet them in the finals. India Under-19 will take on Australia Under-19 in the second Semi-Final on 2nd February at 6:30 pm IST (1 pm GMT). But as usual, the build-up will begin much early. So do join us. Until then, goodbye and take care.
Tom Prest, the victorious skipper of England Under-19, says that they were put under pressure but they did not expect it to get that tight as it did but their bowlers did well in the end to defend the score. Applauds Joshua Boyden by saying that he was brilliant under pressure. Mentions that it was a brave call to bat first and they did well to go past the 200-run mark. He says that they did well with the ball and Tom Aspinwall did a good job of hitting the hard lengths as it wasn't easy for the batters to get under those kind of deliveries.
Suliman Safi, the skipper of Afghanistan, says that it is a very difficult time for them. Tells that they had momentum on their side but are disappointed to end up on the losing side. Says that winning and losing is a part of the game and credits England Under-19 for the way they played. Mentions that the momentum shifted when they lost the wicket of Noor Ahmad.
GEORGE BELL IS THE PLAYER OF THE MATCH. He says that when he got out to bat, he tried to keep it steady for a while and wanted to take it deep. Applauds Alex Horton by saying that he played a great knock. Tells that it was challenging to play against Afghanistan Under-19 spinners and they had a plan to target their pace bowlers. Mentions that they stayed calm as a team and credits their skipper for the way he handled the situation when they were under pressure at the end.
... The Presentation ...
Earlier in the day, Afghanistan bowlers did a good job but they let the momentum slip away at the fag end and that helped England post 231 in 47 overs. Afghanistan gave a good fight but fell short in the end.
England bowlers had a small target to defend and they did well to take it till the end. They started with a wicket in the very first over but after that things dried up. There were some sloppy fielding and dropped catches as well but some exceptional bowling in the death, especially from Rehan Ahmed who took beating earlier, helped England advance further. Other than James Sales, it was a good performance from the bowling compartment.
Afghanistan were off to a superb start despite losing Nangeyalia Kharote for a duck. Mohammad Ishaq and Allah Noor built a partnership of 93 runs and things were looking pretty easy for Afghanistan. Ishaq was sold short through a run out and then there was flurry of wickets later. Two wickets in quick succession and they needed another big partnership. Abdul Hadi and Bilal Ahmad did just that and brought back life into the game, they posted a 50-run partnership and then it was the cameo of Noor Ahmad which took Afghanistan much closer. The game was very close but the Afghans failed to get over the line in the end.
This is the 44th over when everything was happening. The first ball where Thomas took the catch off Sales delivery and as England were celebrating it, the umpire called it as a no ball. Ecstasy turned into agony for England as Afghanistan took 20 runs off the over. It was a matter of who had the nerves now to take their team into the finals and it turned out to be England who did that job well. Pheww...This game was swinging like a pendulum.
ENGLAND UNDER- 19 ARE INTO THE FINALS OF THE ICC MEN'S U-19 WORLD CUP 2022 AFTER 24 YEARS! What a mouth-watering clash this was. As we write, the staff and England players are over the moon as they enjoy the moment. Heartbreak for Afghanistan who were so, so close but failed to get over the line. Commiserations to Afghanistan who showed an incredible fight until the end but came second best against the favorites of this game.

James Sales To Noor Ahmad
NO BALL AND A BOUNDARY!  Another no ball and it races away to the fence. Horrible start for Sales. Sales errs in his line as well as length and bowls a full toss, outside off, above shoulders. The keeper fumbles and the ball races away to the third man fence.
James Sales can resume his over as it was not a dangerous one and was wide of the batter. Extraordinary scenes here. First he was told to walk off but Sales gets the ball back.
The umpire has given it as a no ball but still it is taken upstairs. The same says the third umpire and a Free-hit will follow.

James Sales To Noor Ahmad
No ball! Oh, dear! Absolute drama in the middle and Noor Ahmad gets a life here! James Sales has only himself to blame here! This was a slower ball, on a length, well outside off. Noor Ahmad reaches out and looks to go over cover but it goes off the top edge, high in the air towards point. George Thomas settles under it and takes it with ease. However, the umpire has signalled a no ball as James Sales has overstepped! The batters sneak in a couple of runs as well. Free hit to follow.
James Sales (4-0-28-0) is back into the attack.

DRINKS! The game is evenly poised and we are in for a cracking finish - Afghanistan Under-19 need 78 runs from 60 balls! A couple of wickets and England Under-19 will be right on top but having said that, these two batters at the crease have done well to keep the scoreboard ticking! That dropped catch of Bilal Ahmad from Joshua Boyden could haunt England Under-19 if Bilal Ahmad keeps cruising along with his partner. Will Afghanistan Under-19 create history by sealing a spot in the finals? Well, only time shall tell.

OUT! TAKEN! Another one bites the dust and this time it is the big, big wicket of Noor who was trying to change the game single-handedly. Now the pressure is well and truly on Afghanistan Under-19 as two new batters will be at the crease. This is full and outside off. Noor looks to go over mid off but does not middle it. Hits it straight to mid off where Sales takes it. End of a gutsy knock from Noor and Afghanistan Under-19 are in some serious trouble now!

OUT! RUN OUT! Allah Noor looks to sneak in a run to get to his fifty but he is denied and it is Mohammad Ishaq who has to take the long walk back to the pavilion! Tossed up, around off.

Tom Aspinwall runs in from point, collects the ball and hurls an underarm throw to the keeper. Alex Horton grabs it and whips the bails off. Ishaq is well short of his crease and England Under-19 get the much-needed breakthrough!
Is that a run out? The batter is short by a long, long way. OUT is shown on the big screen and England have a breakthrough.
