Nepal created a history by winning the ACC-U19 Elite Cup title for the fouth time. For this Nepal defeated Afganistan, who has not lost any of its game in the match, by 48 runs in the final match. To defeat the Afganistan, Nepali bowlers played a key role, but batsman too proved their defiant character.
Winning the toss, Nepal chose to bat first; but their decision was proved wrong when Afganistani bowler took key five Nepali wickets with just 60 runs in the score board. But the Nepali players showed their defiance towards Afganistan bowlers and put a total of 171 runs with two balls to spare of fifty overs.
In reply, Nepali bowlers performed well and limited the Afganistan innings in 124 runs all out.
With this win Nepal now plays the runners-up of European region for a spot in the Youth World Cup. Apart from Nepal; Malaysia as the hosts of the World Cup 2008, automatically qualifies for the event.
