U19 World Cup 2022: Afghanistan beat Sri Lanka to join England in Super League semi-final
India TV NewsHighlights Wellalage's team elected to field after the winning the toss at the Coolidge Cricket Ground. Afghanistan will now face England in first Super League semi-final at the Sir Viv Richards Ground. Afghanistan produced a sensational fightback to edge a thriller with Sri Lanka and secure a place in the semi-finals of the ICC U19 Men's Cricket World Cup 2022. A composed late spell at the crease from Sri Lanka's skipper Dunith Wellalage looked for a while like he would pull his team over the line, but it was not meant to be as Afghanistan edged the low-scoring thriller to reach the final four, matching their achievement from the 2018 tournament in New Zealand. Afghanistan will now face England in the first Super League semi-final at the Sir Viv Richards Cricket Ground on February 1.
